File:Series5.jpg

Almost two years after the release of The Podfather Trilogy, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington return for Series 5 of The Ricky Gervais Show. Although it took some convincing to get Karl onboard in the form of a poster campaign and blog by Gervais, all three eventually reunited in the recording studio in July 2008 to record 4 half hour episodes. The show is available on iTunes and audible.co.uk as an audiobook series.
