Why are people still listening to The Ricky Gervais Show on XFM 20 years after it started? On the Karly Pilkboys we'll recap each episode of this show that was originally broadcast on a Saturday afternoon in London between 1 and 3pm. The hosts are two radio presenters, David and Zach. David has been listening to The Ricky Gervais Show repeatedly for a decade and Zach has never heard them. Join us as we celebrate this totally unique, bronze award winning radio show.
