So it seems at last as if Pilkington has agreed to the one off reunion that Ricky has been bugging him about over the last few weeks. The trio will unite for a 2 hour special as part of NME’s test transmission on June 9th (make a note in your diary) before their official launch on the 24th June.
It will be repeated every day and can be listened to on Sky, Virgin, DAB in the south east and on the NME website. Don’t worry if you miss it, it will be available to listen to anytime at www.nme.com/radio.
The managing director of NME radio Sammy Jacob worked with Gervais and Merchant in their early days at XFM.
"Hearing Ricky, Steve and Karl in action again will no doubt keep me on my toes," he declared.
"I used to bury myself hearing Ricky and Steve on air in 1997, fearing we would lose our licence each time they went on," he continued. Having Karl on board has only made matters worse. I look forward to some compelling radio."
So do we all mate.
