Series 1, Episode 3
Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington cover a range of pointless topics, including the problems over donating goats to African families, space travel and Karl's preferred super power.
Further details
Karl revisits his concept for improving the life cycle, fending off Ricky and Stephen's ridicule. Pilkington also shoots holes in practice of donating a goat to an African family in lieu of giving a holiday gift, and finds a flaw with the assumption that space travel is pleasurable.
Also up for discussion: Karl's preferred super power, the true greatness of great sayings and the homeless. In "Monkey News": A Moscow chat show has to turn to a chimp in a staffing pinch.
