Hey guys, sorry for pinning this comment on all videos but I want to give you an update on the channel. I've been slowly adding a show archive to the videos including a full transcript added as sub titles and a full track listing (with links to KZread videos for each track). Pilkipedia archive link has been added as well and I've been having fun illustrating some of KP's best bits, I'm adding these to a shop incase anyone is interested: www.man-moth.com/ It's taking me a while to update the archives, especially as I don't work Mondays so please bear with me as I chip away at it. Lots of love, Man Moth.

Among many things I love about this episode, Ricky getting caught off guard by “squoze” at 43:26 is wonderful

Anybody else think that Karl misunderstood the "Steve going home because he was ill" situation? Steve was at his mom and dad's house, fell ill whilst he was there and stayed there for a few more days until he was better. I think Karl seems to think that Steve fell ill and then immediately jumped into a cab in his dressing gown and a thermometre in his mouth and then went to Bristol.

I totally sympathize with Steve, I had a sore throat like that a couple years ago and it was absolute agony. I think mine was different though, it was right at the top of the throat. Feeling the most excruciating pain every time you reflexively swallow saliva is torture. It's like there's a knife that stabs the back of your throat every time your throat muscles contract.
