PART 7, and final installment, of a Compilation of all the guests, callers and emailers from The Ricky Gervais Show on Xfm. This compilation includes such luminaries as Jonathan Ross, Chris Martin from Coldplay, Dr. Neil Fox, as well as a random assortment of listeners participating in inane competitions, responding to pointless questions from the hosts, commenting on Karl's antics, or popping in for no apparent reason.

We also have Ricky Gervais' and Stephen Merchant's commentary on Karl's performances in these memorable movie scenes. ENJOY!
