Some of the shows Ricky is literally swearing and being incredibly offensive at prime time on a Saturday, I'm sure they even acknowledged they were only getting away with because nobody listened. Not a chance in hell that would happen these days. Yeah, it was 3pm-5pm on a Saturday afternoon I think? It was only the turn of the century which doesn't feel that long ago but today they would be torn to pieces for some of the things they talked about!

From 0:55 until the end The 'Square Tins' bit is a classic. i love the way Merchant can't get his words out and Gervais is already losing it!

It certainly levels the playing field to an extent. But it's clearly not a lottery at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) I might have mentioned this before, but always had a dislike of Pilkington in particular, and also the other 2, although I do like The Office. But one year, with this knowledge, my daughter bought me on blueray that series where he travels round the world being a word removed. I asked her if it was a joke. No it wasnt.

Wainy316 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 First series of An Idiot Abroad was great and a lot of his reactions seemed genuine. I think after that he just became a parody of himself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never get the James Corden hate .. I mean he’s clearly a gay man masquerading as straight but that’s not a crime otherwise Tom Cruise would never find work he seems very enthusiastic in everything he does and that is quite infectious imo when you watch him in anything , don’t think he’s ever done anything offenceive to cause anyone to dislike him ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely adored Pilkington before An Idiot Abroad, but I just never really enjoyed those shows or anything he's done after that (apart from Derek, he's brilliant in that) But back in the XFM days and most of the Podcast days it was actually him. And he's **** hilarious without even realising. That's why it was so good. he just talked and it was funny. Once he realised he was funny it kind of fell apart.
