Ricky Gervais, maniacal star and left cerebral hemisphere (along with Stephen Merchant) of The Office and Extras now has his own radio show. The weekly Ricky Gervais Show is hosted by Gervais, Merchant and not-so-straight man Karl Pilkington. If Gervais’s laugh bothers you then you should move right along. But if you loved the TV shows you should enjoy this. Free, even from the need for the ubiquitous iPod (de rigueur, I know), each episode is made available on the Guardian web site as a simple MP3 which can be downloaded and played with any media player.

It remains to be seen how long this free ride will last—or the show itself for that matter!—but it’s a pretty good deal right now. A big thanks to Jefe for putting me on to this.

Favourite line so far?

KP: I could eat a knob at night…

RG: Just cut that there—we’ll loop that—if any DJs are listening, just take that quote, “I could eat a knob at night,” by Karl Pilkington, maybe do a dance remix?

Something to make us all reach for the lasers…
