[edit] XFM Shows
Why get rid of the XFM shows? They need to be included - it's just as important, if not more important, than the podcast series, even if it's not as popular. Ricky, Steve and Karl had been doing this show in almost exactly the same show for over 4 years and there's no good reason not to include information on it there. I was even going to expand on it some more. "The Ricky Gervais Show" is not just the podcast, and I'm sure anyone who listened to the XFM shows will agree. Dav 10:09, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree and have reverted to the last version by Crzrussian. Most of the text removed by Feezo's "minor" edit was useful background to the show. johnSLADE (talk) 16:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] BBC Radio 1
Does anyone know any further info about their work at BBC Radio? All I know is from what the mention on the XFM show about them getting fired. Anyone have an further information?
[edit] "Early Shows"
Made changes to the Early Shows section (keeping naming consistancy, etc.). For future reference, Gervais worked at Xfm London, not Xfm, the latter being a collection of the three different stations.
The second paragraph of this section, however, is almost completely incorrect. Gervais and Merchant were never Radio 1 DJs; I'm currently looking for a source for this before editing the section. Gtpod 15:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Added Features
I moved up Educating Ricky from the "Notable Short-Lived Features" to the "Recurring Features" section, since it was a major part of some of the early shows, and also a platform for Karl to really shine. And it's also absolutely hilarious, some of the best stuff in the show ever.
Also added a section called "Fan Mail" where I wrote about Richard Anderson and Paul "The Party Animal" Parker, though that might have to be moved down f you disapprove. Also I tried to state the dates of some shows as sources, but it is pretty hard without the full transcripts, must be quite irritating editing this and Karl's main page a lot I imagine. :) --Hst20 19:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Video Podcasts
There are new episodes of the video podcast, these should be mentioned
[edit] Video Podcast Section
Needs cleaning up, I think. Needs to be less like a list of the video podcasts and more just a summing up of the video podcasts as a whole.
