[[Xfm Series 3]] ran from November 2003 to January 2004, and consisted of just 12 shows, including one 'Best of'. The series began with [[Ricky Gervais]] and [[Stephen Merchant]] fresh from filming [[The Office]] Christmas specials. Meanwhile, [[Karl Pilkington|Karl]] has gone back on his promise never to do another radio show with Ricky and Steve again because he's managed to get Mondays off. Ricky thinks Karl is exploiting the situation to get out of doing his job. A few weeks later Ricky is outraged when Karl tells him that he's going to [[Lanzarote]] on holiday. However, at the end of the series justice is had when Ricky and Steve start gaying Karl up.
After saying he'd never do another show again, Karl is back just 3 months later. Only now he's got Monday's off.

Karl is on holiday in "Lanzagrotty", so Ricky and Steve are joined by XFM DJ Ian Camfield, who builds a "Monolith of Rock" group by the name of Deathlehem, including Keith Moon on drums, Lemmy on bass, Keith Richards on guitar and Rob Plant on vocals. Their manager would be legendary DJ Tommy Vance. In this episode, Ricky also works out that there are "one-hundred-thousand little gay Chinese fellas running about".
