SM: Absolutely.

RG: I'm Ricky Gervais, with me Steve Merchant.

SM: Hello.

RG: Karl, the err producer.

KP: Right.

RG: 7 minutes past one, of a Saturday, and what a lovely Saturday it is.

SM: It is indeed.

RG: Well, it looks nice but it's deceptive because i went out, and i just had a t-shirt on and I had me jumper wrapped

round me, i got out there and i thought, this is chilly.

Steve Laughs.

RG: And i had to put on, pop the jumper on.

SM: Ooh no.

RG: So err, you know just be careful, if you err you know looking out of the window thinking oh i'll go outside, pop a

jumper on or, or a jacket because it looks nice, but it is a little bit colder, than it looks.

SM: Rick, can i ask, were you wearing the jumper tied round your waist with a knot, or did you have it over your shoulders

maybe like, you'd just jumped off a yacht.

RG: I popped it round my waist, and i'll tell you why. I tucked my t-shirt in for neatness and comfort.

SM: Lovely.

RG: But i know, even i know that's a little bit dorky.

SM: Sure.

RG: So i was trying to hide the belt line.

SM: Ok.

RG: So err, then i popped the jumper on didn't have to worry about it so.

SM: Did you go with the double knot?

RG: I didn't, i.

SM: Because that can loosen if you're not careful, specially if you're carrying bags or you're busy on the tube.

RG: I know, well i wouldn't mind that as long as i didn't lose it, as long as i saw it loosen and fall i'd pick it up.

SM: You'd be so devestated if you lost it.

RG: And then clean it, not in the err washing machine though.

SM: Go on.

RG: I'd pop it in a cold wa- soak.

SM: Ok.

RG: And then leave it out on a few towels or summat, or put it over the radiator.

SM: So what's the problem with err, putting it in a hot wash?

RG: Well it can, cause, shinkage.

SM: Aww no.

RG: So err, coming up we've got loads of tunes, we're gonna be playing erm some of the best bands around, some new ones

some old ones. We might even play some err Adam Ant we don't know yet.

Steve Laughs.
