Ricky introduces the subject of the human body and the complexity of it before introducing Steve Merchant - Award Winning Writer and Graduate of the University of Warick - and Karl Pilkington "who's good at cleaning windows with his tongue"

2. But was it his fault? (1:28)

Ricky tells Karl about how cells are constantly replaced apart from the brain cells. He throws out the debate if your brain is placed into a different person, would you still be the same person? Ricky argues that if you lose your memory then you could become a completely different person. Stephen gives an example about a friend of a friend’s girlfriend who lost all her memories due to a car accident and how they split up because she went through a complete personality change. Karl asked if it was his fault, Ricky asked him what that had to do with it. Karl argues that if it was his fault, the woman wouldn’t be willing to stay with him. Steve tells Karl that it wasn’t his fault and tries to explain that the woman went through a type of amnesia, before giving up.
