6Music Shows: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:18, 9 August 2009

This article refers to the Russell Brand shows that Karl was briefly involved with. For Steve's 6Music Shows, see The Steve Show.

In December 2005 Russell Brand and Karl Pilkington presented three one-off shows on BBC 6Music. The pair were filling in for 6Music DJ Nemone, and were broadcast from 10pm-1am.

Later in April 2006, Russell Brand was given a regular Sunday afternoon slot on the station which replaced Liz Kershaw's show. Karl Pilkington was advertised as being his co-host and even appeared with him on the first few shows. However Karl mysteriously disappeared from the show, leaving some to speculate about a falling out between Pilkington and Brand. The actual reason for Karl's departure, as confirmed by Brand's co-presenter Trevor Lock, is that 6Music's desire to release a downloadable podcast of the show conflicted with Karl's commitment to The Ricky Gervais Show podcast. Karl has since appeared (via the phone) on The Russell Brand Show, talking about his holiday visit to a historic resort in Lyme Regis, Dorset and his recent viewing of Brokeback Mountain. Brand's 6Music radio show has placed as high as number two in the iTunes most-subscribed podcast chart.

-== Series Two (April 9th 2006 - ??) ==
-The BBC took well to Russell's and Karl's "Stand-in" shows so they gave them their own weekly show on Sundays at 10am - 1pm starting April 9th 2006 replacing Liz Kershaw's weekly show. As before this these shows are very similar to the XFM shows/Podcasts but you feel you are getting a more human, less lightly exaggerated Karl Pilkington.
