    • @fls128

      I imagine it was largely due to a rift between Gervais and Smerch, they did stuff for over a decade and probably got burnt out and of course there's the money side of things as well. I think Karl is still friends with both or at least Ricky.

      It also depends on entirely personal events, and shifts to different perspectives due to various things, but I agree.
      You don't want me to really, 100% start explaining how and why things unfolded the way they did.
      Let's just say the loud people who promote specific views while blaming normal people after ruining their experiences with constant hate and mockery, have multiplied and achieved their first goals (leaving that vague and partially open to interpretation for a reason but the hate and mockery bit sure clear things up, even if any side can be fanatical and unfair deep inside).
      Not that it's hard when life's not exactly easy or forgiving in the first place and the financial issues add to that...
      The level of entertainment during 00s is among the main factors as well.

      This will never happen ever as they haven't worked together in years but I certainly agree that back when idiot abroad was still being made I think Ricky and Steve owed it to Karl to go on a trip while Karl stayed back as he is now the one who gives instructions, except Ricky and Steve would be doing all the actual fun amazing things on their trip while Karl has to produce the series back in the UK. They could get everyone back in the studio to give Karl an especially hard time and make out that the show is going to be pulled by the sky execs because Karl isn't doing things 'right', in the end Karl still gets his own back here and there by setting up some surprises for them so its not all luxury. Would have been a great way to end the series.

      Yeah it seems to me and this is just speculation, Ricky has a big head.

    Because Ricky's so quick and charming (in his way), people assumed that he was the A and Merchant was the B. But, as we have since learned, Stephen Merchant was the genius in this pairing and Gervais was the contributor, tossing in a few jokes here and there. It's funny how perception and reality sometimes clash. Merchant should be much more famous than he is.

    love em. been obsessed with ricky and steve's work since i stumbled upon it a few years ago. first the office, extensively, then the animated rgs show, now the 4 seasons of xfm radio show that i downloaded a year ago and listen to every single day. together with karl they're just incredible and such a unique bunch, like the beatles. while i don't know much about the lads and what they're up to now, i kinda believe that they aren't close at all anymore, not even ricky and karl... might not be entirely true but that's my impression. but those ten years from 2002 till 2012 were something else. glad i've got "access" to that.

    I always found it a little odd that Ricky skipped over inviting Steve for his birthday for example, when he DID invite Karl. I think Ricky enjoys having friends he can laugh at with impunity, and while Steve is sufficiently weird to fit the rest of Ricky's friends, he's witty enough to give 'Gerv a run for his money, rather than simply being 'bullied' and laughed at.
