Revision as of 11:28, 19 August 2006
A short series of shows hosted by Karl's mate Russell Brand, aided by the Squozen one himself.
Series One (Dec 27-29 2005)
This was a set of shows where Karl and Russell stood in for a 6music presenter. It was on in the time between Boxing Day and New Years Eve. It included many repeated things from Karl's shows with Rick and Steve including Rock Busters, strange stories (peoples heads being cut off) Etc. More details to follow.
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.
The show was short-lived, lasting for just one week as a Brand-Pilkington collaboration, as the BBC started to offer the show as a podcast. Legal matters prohibited Karl from then on to participate actively on the show.
