Episode description

PART 1 of a compilation of WHITE VAN KARL, one of the most memorable features of The Ricky Gervais Show's run on XFM in the early 2000s. Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais ask their "producer," Karl Pilkington, the questions that the Sun asks someone else in their White Van Man section, where a member of the public is asked their opinions on the week’s big political and social hot potatoes. Essentially, the Sun's White Van Man provides the "average Joe" perspective on the week’s big stories. Similarly, WHITE VAN KARL provides an avenue to explore Karl's unique perspective on political issues and current events. Some of the greatest moments on the XFM show; e.g., MAN MOTH, HORSE IN THE HOUSE, etc., came out of this feature. ENJOY!
