    Monkey news, Rockbusters, Educating Ricky, Knob news, Songs of Phrase, War do you think of that then, Do we need em?... how did this not win a Sony? In my opinion the best radio show ever 'created'

      When they get foxy on to ask him why they didn't win and he says "It just wasn't funny" really winds me up. I know humour is subjective but this is possibly the funniest show ever aired on a radio anywhere.

    • @janpec10

      It didnt win an award becouse the people who judge it have very "classic" and pretentious approach to what should be funny.

    I've got a recording of Gervais screaming "ooh, chimpanzee that, he's gone and written it down again - CUNT!" - a jingle for Karl's diary on the podcasts.
    I get odd looks when it goes off.
