Series 2

The second installment of the Ricky Gervais Show ran from 24th of August 2002 to 16th of August 2003. More features were added of the monkey origin, such as Monkey News and Cheap as Chimps. Also, the highly popular and widely talked about Rockbusters also took root during this series. Karl turned the table on Ricky and begun Educating Ricky, which was more telling Ricky illogical and made-up stories from Hannova. Karl also begun interviewing scientists about keeping animals that he feels should no longer exist on the feature Do We Need 'em. Equally disturbing and deranged as Do We Need 'em became the brainchild and potentionally offensive feature Cheeky Freak Of The Week, and other features such as Karl in a Film and Songs of Phrase were added.
