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.

karl’s paper round age ranges from 11-15 depending on the week they asked him

“… oh and have a good Christmas” One of the great Karl moments

I occasionally get caught off guard and marvel at how much time has passed since these shows were first recorded… but Steve having to spell eBay turns this episode into a time capsule

Steve’s line about “You don’t need to buy a passport. Isn’t that your god given right as an Englishman?” is a nice little prelude to him not being allowed to travel to the States about a year after this because his passport had expired.
