====1. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#A Lung Feeling|A Lung Feeling]] ''(0:00:00)''====
Karl's back from one week's holiday and another week away due to his father's illness.  He didn't take his phone with him but he had a feeling something was wrong whilst he was away.  Ricky's been criticised for his easy listening music of late so this week he's gonna rock out.
 
====2. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#Basic Holiday Criteria|Basic Holiday Criteria]] ''(0:02:41)''====
Karl tells about the surprise trip [[Suzanne|his girlfriend]] had planned for them to one of the Canary Islands.  Karl brought a book of short stories about special days of past and present.  He started to get bored so they went to walk on the beach where they saw a woman feeding a fish bread and a fella with no pants on who was carrying a massive rucksack. 
 
====3. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#I'm Not One for Getting Me Kit Off|I'm Not One for Getting Me Kit Off]] ''(0:09:16)''====
Karl is confused by nudism.  Steve asks if he ever walks around the house nude and he says only to get a glass of Robinson's in the night, but he has to be careful because his neighbours might see in. 
 
====4. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#Karl's New Ideas|Karl's New Ideas]] ''(0:12:22)''====
Karl's got some new ideas for the show. The best way of coming up with ideas is to nick a TV name and twist it ... how about [[Big Mother]] or [[The Rice is Right]]?
 
====5. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#This Young Man Prepared For His Death|This Young Man Prepared For His Death]]  ''(0:16:55)''====
Karl explains his brilliant new game called [[Rockbusters]] and gives the first clue to the first one.  Call in to play and even win some prizes.
 
====6. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#He Hasn't Thought It Through|He Hasn't Thought It Through]] ''(0:20:23)''====
They need another ad break to figure out the rules of the game.
 
====7. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#We Wouldn't Survive in the Real World|We Wouldn't Survive in the Real World]] ''(0:21:14)''====
Eighteen seconds of silence means there's something wrong in-studio and Karl needs to get an engineer in.  Ricky's solution is to not play the adverts because he doesn't want to anyway. 
 
====8. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#Let's Play Rockbusters|Let's Play Rockbusters]] ''(0:21:48)''====
Sam and Tim are on the phone to play Rockbusters. Ricky explains the rules and Karl gives out the clues and thus the first Rockbusters game is played.  Neither Ricky nor Steve are impressed.
 
====9. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#Educating Ricky|Educating Ricky]] ''(0:26:23)''====
Karl is stressed and Steve's not sure Karl can press buttons and talk at the same time.  Much slagging off of the studio and the library follows.  Karl has yet another idea to propose, this time called [[Educating Ricky]] which has teaser titles, including "Hanging Bacon", "Hairy Chinese Kid", and "Alien Gives Man A Beard".  Karl tells the alien-man-beard story to an incredulous Ricky and Steve.  Also, there's a law in America that you can't touch a UFO. 
 
====10. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#Eczema and a Boil|Eczema and a Boil]] ''(0:33:19)''====
The engineers have sorted out the desk problems but it took 25 minutes to get to Ricky's show.  Next for Educating Ricky is a story about a hairy Chinese kid.  It's a well-known fact that Chinese people aren't very hairy so the press was hard on him but the doctors said he just had some eczema and a boil.  Ricky and Steve still aren't impressed so Karl tries to wow them with his explanation of the phrase "chewing the fat". 
 
====11. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#That Song's Got a Good Story|That Song's Got a Good Story]] ''(0:41:40)''====
Karl's had a phone call confirming the story about the Chinese kid.  Ricky tries to explain that they don't just believe things randomly, and Steve's theory is that Karl only believes things that are interesting.  Discussion turns to the story behind the song "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" and after that the continuing segment "That Song's Got a Good Story".  Kicking it off today with Stevie Wonder but Steve doesn't think the song can ever live up to Karl's explanation of it.
====12. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#It'll Be Like Star Wars|It'll Be Like Star Wars]] ''(0:47:02)''====
Karl hasn't played the full version of Living in the City because he didn't know it existed.  So maybe next week they'll play the second bit.
====13. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#Give Her a Rubik's Cube|Give Her a Rubik's Cube]] ''(0:47:57)''====
Ricky asks Karl to tell them about visiting [[Karl's Dad|his dad]] in hospital.  They're dreadful places filled with people moaning (like nurses, says Ricky).  There's an old woman in the bed next to him whose hands had gone blue who was breaking wind a lot. Karl thinks they should just let her go home and not worry her.  This leads to the introduction of an all-time favourite Pilkington story: [[Auntie Nora]] farts for 5 minutes.  Karl expounds on his theories about how rubbish it is to get old and have to die in hospital and Ricky plays another Stones track.
 
====14. [[12 October 2002/Transcript#Call to Confirm|Call to Confirm]] ''(0:56:26)''====
Another call confirms that drugs do make people have wind, but no one has called to confirm the alien abduction.  Ricky complains about the bad equipment again and Karl preps the listeners for next week's quizzes and games. Steve's been quite quiet for 20 minutes because he dozed off, but ends with Sly and the Family Stone for the ladies.
