I occasionally listen to Radio 6 in the morning due to my (soon to be over) unemployed state, but George Lamb's highlarious banter makes me change over to Cash in the Attic or This Morning. He is that bad.

What were you doing up in the morning if you were unemployed?

yeah, I listen again during the day to avoid that GL twat.

Since Phil Jupitus, Gid and Vic McGlynn have gone, day time 6music is just pants. Its such a shame.

The show they try it on was before they had any kind of fame so I think it's been lost, not sure if they got through. There's a brilliant resource for anyone interested on Main Page - Pilkipedia, they have pretty much every episode of Gervais XFM show from 2001 onwards (with the music generally edited out for legal purposes).

The three years of recording comes from around the time The Office was coming out on BBC and before Karl Pilkington was generally heard of through the Podcasts and was just their orange-headed producer who they regularly have a pop at, despite being on air.

One of the best moments is when they find out the game he's allegedly been working on for months is is an idea ripped off from Simon Mayo's show.

'Your taking the piss out of me, your taking the piss out of Graham, and you're taking the piss out of London. Tune in next week if Karl can get his act together.

The disheartened Karl just sighs and plays a record.

Completely agree. The daytime 6Music line-up a few years back was exceptional. A really good mix of music presented by DJs who knew what they were talking about. I used to enjoy Andrew Collins show at the end of the afternoon too although the Lamacq slot is a worthy successor. Nowadays I stick with Stephen Merchant and Guy Garvey on a Sunday and the excellent Adam & Joe show on Saturday morning. Breakfast radio is so worthless at the moment...
