Oh Ricky, you're so...cruel

Comedian Ricky Gervais' third live stand-up DVD, "Fame", is as big, clever and scathing as "Animals" and "Politics". If anything, he's grown even more confident in his delivery. However, the loudest laughs will be had from the extra "Living With Ricky II", which documents the star's ongoing sadistic torture of friend and opening act Robin Ince. There's an example of the latter's manic, almost apologetic routines in "An Incy Wincy Bit Of Robin Ince". And lastly, we get a short made by another of Ricky's mates, Karl Pilkington, entitled "Fame - I'm Gonna Live Forever". It's about a nutter named Howard who claims he's immortal and protected from serious harm by "the spirit world". Don't waste your time importing "Fame" like I did as the disc will be released here tomorrow.
