Karl definitely covered a story like this before but I can't find it on Youtube.

The 30-year-old woman received a colposcopy meant for another patient instead of the fertility treatment assessment she was meant to have after attending a gynaecology outpatient clinic for her first fertility appointment in July 2019. She checked in with reception at the same time as another patient arriving for a colposcopy, a procedure to look at the cervix.

The nurse called out the second patient’s name several times with no response, then just her first name, which sounded like the first patient’s surname. The woman thought the nurse was calling for her. No other checks were conducted to confirm her identity, and after several further misunderstandings she was wrongly given the invasive procedure.


EDIT: Found it.

Some guys doing a podcast going through all the XFM stuff did an interview with Richard Anderson. Apparently he got an email back from Karl after his first email to the show. :lol:

The name Richard Anderson rings a bell, what roll did he have to play again?

He was the show's number 1 fan.


Commiserations on not winning a Sony. I can't believe you didn't win. I mean, apart from your show's obvious lack of quality and effort; having a monkey for a producer; offering the biggest load of tat as competition prizes; saying 'Hairy Chinese Kid' 48 times every show; Rockbusters; not bothering to turn up for weeks on end; only having three listeners; introducing the comedy characters Camp David, Ho-Lee Fuk, Stephen Merchant; apart from insulting every race, religion, sexual orientation; bickering like schoolgirls; and despite the fact you genuinely bring misery into the lives of anyone who listens, I thought you were surefire winners. Better luck next year.

So he is a real person then. I think I half-thought he was made up.

I just found a three minute XFM clip on my phone I can't remember hearing before which appears to be missing footage from season 2 episode 38. Can't find it on Youtube though so I don't know where I downloaded it from. They're talking about novelty London postcards.

Playing around with a MP3 converting app I've added the missing footage to the episode. PM me if you want a link.

Listening to series 0 of the xfm stuff (before they met Karl) and there's some gold in there. Steve telling a story of how he went to get some cigs and coffee for a woman he was trying to shag, then getting caught up in a robbery :lol:

Looks like Howard, the fella on the Fame DVD chatting to Karl claiming he has discovered the secret to living forever has sadly passed :(

This is a really wholesome interview - Karl is a good gooseberry fool :wub:

Karl surprisingly turned up in ITV drama series ‘The Thief, His Wife and The Canoe’.

Was he friends with someone on the production? Surreal to see Karl turn up in an ITV drama.

The guy replacing the floor of my dining room is listening to old episodes of the Ricky Gervais xfm show. I've listened to the shows so many times I thought I was hallucinating when I got back home.

The story of the guy shitting himself on the train on the way to a job interview and then being given a jacket in the shop still makes me cry with laughter when I hear it.
