Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington’s collection of podcasts earned them a massive fanbase, who would regularly download the latest adventures of the trio in equally large numbers. With few subjects off topic, they quickly became firm favourites. Then, someone had the idea of setting said podcasts to animation, and that became the basis for The Ricky Gervais Show.
It sounds like a gimmick at heart, especially when you consider that the audio has been available before in another form. But what makes The Ricky Gervais Show work is the sheer level of fun they have with the animation. It’s frequently very funny, and the passages they choose to animate are very well selected. As a result of that, it draws far more fun out of the material, and works extremely well. There’s a real sense that something is being added to the material with the animated work, and that’s no easy tricky to pull off.
That said, Gervais’s humour remains divisive, although if you enjoyed An Idiot Abroad you’re likely to have a blast with The Ricky Gervais Show. For if you do warm to their comedy, then Gervais, Merchant and Pilkington are on real form here, and are as excellent a triple act as they’ve ever been. --Jon Foster

This fantastic programme returns for a second series and I'm happy to report that it is as a hilarious as ever!
The basic premise of the show if you haven't seen it before is essentially cartoon esque re-imagining of some excerpts from excellent The Ricky Gervais Podcast series. Every episode is centered around recording studio sessions with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and professional Chimp Pal Karl Pilkington.
They all discuss a variety of subjects and get Karl's opinion on them. Given that Karl has some very unique and hilarious views this leads to some huge laugh at loud moments. Complimenting the banter is Hanna Barbera style animation which really adds extra hilarity to the topics being discussed.
If you liked either the Podcast's or Sky One's 'An Idiot Abroad' you will absoultely love this. My favourite section personally is Karls Diary but Monkey News is also a very funny feature.

The Ricky Gervais Show finally returns to DVD-
13 more episodes of the only show on TV that I find so consistently funny that I honestly cant't catch my breath for laughing so hard.
That makes it well worth owning. Season 2 is just as good as Season 1 and I cant wait to see new episodes- a brilliant animated series.
