Originally posted by d000hg View PostHe, and Gervais, strenuously argue he is not an actor. He became known through the Ricky Gervais free podcasts several years back (worth a listen) and this is essentially an offshoot of that I think, certainly a logical extension.
Never seen the show but I'd hoped it would be good. Any podcast fans care to throw in their opinion?Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

What makes people assume Carl is as gormless as he makes out? It's an act for Pete's sake, and in real life he's probably as smart and quick witted as Gervais.
Some of you lot sound like those daft twats who berate soap stars in real life, confusing them with the characters they play.

The whole point of the podcasts was that Ricky, Karl and Stephen (Merchant) just chatted amongst themselves, and this ended up as mocking Karl on a range of subjects.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostThat we know the backstory. Gervais pushed Karl into the limelight after working with him in his previous guise as a producer or something along those lines.
