Fan-led remastering & lost content discovery project for The Ricky Gervais Show on Xfm. Including original compilations! Not affiliated with Radio X or Global
The
#XFM
Gervais show is 4,847 minutes of chat. That's just under 81 hours, or 3.4 full days of nonsense.
All the compilations I've posted so far are around 2000 minutes total... That's only 40% of the entire show.
What in God's name does the other 60% consist of?!? 😂
Well, it was fun while it lasted... Just hit with 35 copyright strikes (and counting), and the channel will be automatically terminated on Oct. 2nd. I have truly appreciated all of your support over the past year.

@rickygervais
, do you have any thoughts on why so many people are still listening to your old XFM radio show?? If you could summarize it, what's the draw for people 20 years after the fact??

Thanks to the 120 million people who made
#AfterLife
the most watched British comedy in the world. And thanks even more for always supporting people on here who open up about their own grief. Heartwarming ❤️
Any Ricky Gervais fan worth their salt will love Ricky's 20-year-old XFM radio show with the goggle-eyed nerdlinger freak, Stephen Merchant, and bald Manc twat, Karl Pilkington, who's got a head like a f@$&ing orange.
The Top 10 Most Played RSK
#XFM
Episodes are all from series 3 & 4. Weird innit? Would've thought a few series 2 episodes might be in the top 10. Some of Karl Pilkington's best work in series 2! 😂
Hey
@rickygervais
, any chance you'll include some MONKEY NEWS, or other simian-related drivel in your next standup tour? The
@xfm_community
would greatly appreciate it!
I always thank people for watching my shows on Netflix, but I don’t think I thank all the people who spend their hard earned cash to come and see me live enough. I couldn’t break all these records without you 🙏
Just noticed almost 1000 little fellas are following this tin pot account. I know my tweets are probably the worst you've ever seen. There's something wrong with me. I'm educationally subnormal.
#XFM
As I continue updating files I've revisited S2E8 RSK XFM. Still can't believe they had such a long block of dead air... It's jarring! I always have to check to make sure I haven't accidentally paused it 😂. What a shambles!
🚨WOW! RSK XFM Remastered made it onto Spotify's UK Top Podcasts chart at
#159
. Not too shabby for a tin pot radio show. Thanks to all of you saucers out there still listening to this drivel!
#XFM
Whether you love or hate Ricky Gervais, both sides would agree the XFM Gervais Show (2001-2005), w/ Steve Merchant & the inimitable Karl Pilkington, is comedic gold.
Karl has features like MONKEY NEWS, & the trio talk nonsense!

GUEST CONFIRMED: Alex Zane
Alex dropped by the studio for his 2nd appearance on HH for a Would You Lie To Me?
Does Jennifer Lawrence FT Alex once a year, did Alex often Jason Statham by getting into his pants? Did Alex lock a date in a zoo?
Episode drops Thurs & it’s SO GOOD
Y'alright!? RSK

Remastered is a Top 50 UK comedy podcast on Spotify 'n that!!
To the Sony people, they listened to that, how they didn't think that was dynamite stuff...it doesn't make sense!

The ROCKBUSTERS corpus alone is ~45 episodes. Monkey News is probably a similar number. And those are just the two biggest features. There were a few more regular features as well as some short-lived ones. Karl really did put in quite a bit of work on the

Hey

Sorry about that. That was a mistake. What a load of shit that was. It was too late to get it out of the CD player. That’s Muse and Feeling Good. What do you think about that?

"<DJ Voice> A Retro cut there, Thin Lizzy, Don’t Believe a Word. On Xfm 104.9. I’m Ricky Gervay, with me Steve Merchant - Bobbity Boo! Who’s that over there? It’s Karly Pilkboys!"
FUN FACT: Ricky, Steve & Karl spend a total of ~two and a half hours discussing human & animal penises on their old
#XFM
radio show. If that's not a reason enough to listen to a shoddy, 20-year-old comedy radio show, I don't know what is!!

#XFM
Was going through a box of old stuff. Back in the Xfm days “health & safety” limited studio volume, which wasn’t loud enough for my Metal show. So I had an amplifier built for my headphones….
In the past week 13% of plays are on Apple Podcasts, & now about 56% of listeners are on iPhone.
Imagine all the little fellas out there listening to RSK
#XFM
drivel on their little iPhones and AirPods 'n that!
And to think, Karl Pilkington didn't even see the point of iPods
@xfm_community
I agree. Karl's "Oh come on let's just play Bruce", after Ricky/Steve just aren't listening to him, followed by Steve's "See you maybe at Christmas," and Ricky's "Goodbye!" is basically a perfect ending for them...
Karl's fed up, Steve chimes in, and Ricky has the last word 😂

🚨🚨BIG ANNOUNCEMENT🚨🚨
As I continue Series 3 & 4, I've begun optimizing tracks in the Series 1-4 playlist.
Optimization addresses audio issues such as reverb, volume that crept in during upload
Also trimming tracks to streamline listening experience
Right? When I was growing up as a kid and I'd be watching films with me dad, right? He'd really be enjoying a film, right? And then a sex scene would happen.

Remastered listeners are from Earth. There are no Little Martian Fellas listening to this drivel. Thank you Spotify for such vital information.
Wow! 😢... My YouTube channel just had all 6 recent XFM uploads taken down in response to copyright claims. First time this has happened since channel inception. Weird innit?!

You know I love, er, the work of, um, comedy greats like Chris Moyles and Noel Edmonds? I’ve got some really funny comedy characters that will be popping in and out of the studio.

I made the RSK XFM Remasters a Youtube PODCAST playlist which should make for more convenient listening (as I understand).
