Bonus Podcast from The Ricky Gervais Show Series One CD

Released November 13 2006

The first series of The Ricky Gervais Show was released in a special 3-CD box set for the iPod-less. It includes a special hour of bonus material from Ricky, Steve and Karl.

The extra podcast begins with a continuation of the "Inside the Actor's Studio" questions that Steve first put to Karl during the Podfather trilogy. Karl says that he doesn't have a favorite noise because some noises that are considered to be pleasant can signal doom for other creatures. He says also that laughter is not always a nice noise because if he awoke to the sound of a baby laughing it would be utterly terrifying. Later, Karl reveals that he doesn't want to donate his eyes after he dies because he wouldn't want to be a blind ghost.
