weeble182 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Alot of people ive been talking to are claiming that the legendary Karl Pilkington of the Ricky Gervais podcast fame is just a character Gervais and Merchant made up. I on the other hand still believe he is just a regular bloke who just has a very different take on the world to the rest of us! Would seriously ruin it for me if he was an actor And for those not familiar with his work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Pilkington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowser57 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 IMO he's a nice bloke, just a little different, he's in on the joke but is completely fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Gervais claims that if he was an actor and it was scripted it would take too long to write a radio show... but I think that Pilkinyton and his "round manky head" is just good at improvising. Actor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I think he is real, but what started as them having a laugh at some of his ideas led to Karl emphasising some parts of his personality and views to make the show better. Bit like Damon from the Oval (if you also listen to other parts of XFM you will know what Im on about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haver Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 A lot of the old XFM material is being repeated for the podcast so Karl is most certainly in 'on it', but his ideas and musings are genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
