Press

Karl Pilkington's alter ego falls into existential despair when Aunt Norma replaces him with a young, go-getting care worker called Ruby. Can a biscuit binge help? Or a change of direction into the world of chauffeuring? It might bring him enough money to move out of Norma's flat for good.

TV review: Sick Of It, Sky One

I've read that Karl Pilkington has said that Sick Of It is "not meant to be that funny", but I'm more than happy to review it on this comedy website. It's a lot funnier than a lot of television shows that bill themselves as comedies.
