Their show was broadcast from January to August 1998 from 4-6pm on Sundays, and only featured Gervais and Merchant (before their collaboration on ). The show's original format was more interactive, with features, guests, phone-ins, and audience interaction through listeners' letters.

Return to XFM [ ] Gervais and Merchant returned to Xfm in August 2001, after the first series of The Office had been broadcast. However, the earliest surviving radio broadcasts are from November. Xfm brought in Pilkington as producer. The show was originally just billed as Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and Karl's presence was not acknowledged on posters and other advertisements. Gervais and Merchant would speak to Karl about his thoughts on whatever they were talking about.

In 2003 Pilkington was officially added to advertisements for the show as over the years Karl's role on the show became more prominent as Ricky and Steve were finding more amusement with his views and personal life. As the producer, Karl had input with features such as Rockbusters, Songs of Phrase, Do We Need 'em, Knob News, Cheeky Freak of the Week, Monkey News and Educating Ricky. Their last show for XFM aired on July 2, 2005, after which they chose to switch the show's format from radio to podcasting. Controversy [ ] On the 17 November 2001 broadcast, Gervais and Merchant (despite Karl's protests) filled the show with sexual innuendos, in which they used the word 'cock' multiple times, claiming they were referring to the bird. During a later show Gervais and Merchant revealed that they had discovered that they had received a warning from the radio authority by reading an article on a news website. The pair often joked how it was acceptable to say 'cock' referring to the male bird but not say 'cock' referring to a penis.
