Here are three special episodes of The Ricky Gervais Show, featuring those doyens of the medium, the eponymous multi-award winning Ricky Gervais; Steve Merchant (The Office, Extras); and the round-headed idiot savant, Karl Pilkington.

Today, we focus exclusively on AudibleOriginals®, those events or programs that are available for download only at audible.com®. Our first exclusive is the story everyone is talking about, Jill Carroll's unfolding diary. A freelance reporter for The Christian Science Monitor, Jill was kidnapped by Iraqi insurgents on January 7, 2006. In a multi-part series, which began on August 14th and continues through August 28th, Jill tells the riveting story of her abduction.

The record-breaking, chart-topping comedy phenomenon returns for a fifth season - all four episodes are here as a single download. Ricky Gervais, of course, is the award-winning co-creator and star of The Office (upon which the current NBC hit series is based) and HBO's Extras. Steve Merchant, who also stars in Extras, is his long-time creative partner. Karl is a pile of protoplasm that mimics the functions of a human being.
