Ricky and [[Stephen Merchant|Steve]] get the show started but are immediately distracted by a yawning [[Karl Pilkington|Karl]]. Suzanne is away, which is why Karl is tired. He feels that, when in a relationship, one person takes charge with important decisions such as when to eat or sleep and the other simply follows; Suzanne of course being the one to make these decisions with Karl. The specific reason Karl stayed up is to watch a documentary about Dracula, which he found flawed, as its highly unlikely that an undead blood sucking vampire would be able to have such a neat centre-parting if he couldn't look in the mirror. Ricky is inspired and creates the character "Mancula". | Ricky and [[Stephen Merchant|Steve]] get the show started but are immediately distracted by a yawning [[Karl Pilkington|Karl]].
