Production notes

From the producers of "The Office" and "Extras" comes the comedy series "The Ricky Gervais Show." The series is an animated version of Gervais' podcasts that earned a spot in The Guinness Book of World Records for the most downloads. It is voiced by Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and colleague and friend Karl Pilkington, whose offbeat musings inspire many of the storylines, which include the merits of 20th-century inventions, Karl's suggestion for population control, how philosophy has evolved through the ages, Karl's round head, and his thoughts on charity.

Based on "The Ricky Gervais Show" podcasts and audiobooks. Original recordings of the podcasts were used in the series.
