0:10.0	UK. Okay. part two of a double Carl Pilkington themed episode. I would recommend that you listen to part one of this first.
0:29.2	It contains important context about who Carl is, plus more details about Carl's
0:35.0	pronunciation and accent. Listening to part one first will help a great deal
0:39.8	in understanding this one. So make sure that you've heard part one before you watch
0:45.1	or listen to part two. So I got plenty of good responses to part one of this so let's
0:50.0	carry on. In this part we're going to continue as we did before, listening to

2:05.6	To be honest, I just enjoy the way he puts things. He speaks like a comedian in the way that he expresses a point of view and has a certain way with words, but he's not a comedian.
2:17.0	And this is the enigma of Carl Pilkington. Is he really just being himself?
