Series 1, Episode 4
Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington cover a range of pointless topics, including Papua New Guinea, sainthood, and a lonely monkey brought home by a zookeeper.
Further details
Karl defends facials as more reasonable as enemas, and the friends discuss the customs of tribes of Papua New Guinea. Ricky ridicules Karl for enquiring about the newest items at an antique store which leads to Karl criticising the spurious rationale for bestowing plaques and sainthood in the olden days.
Fan emails raises the spectre of armed dolphins and, in Monkey News, Karl relays the tale of a lonely monkey brought home by a zookeeper.
