| 5/22/25 | S03 E06 - Me Ward | On the last episode of series 3, Karl learns of a new fan in the form of short actor Warwick Davis. Karl reveals the mystery of the one face man, whilst Ricky teaches Karl about determinism. The boys listen to Karl whine about his horrific kidney experience, and the diary reveals a deep dive into the UK's national health service. A new poem emerges, and Karl receives bad news about his father (or so he thinks). | — | ||||||
| 5/15/25 | S03 E05 - Busy Countin' | The time has come for Karl as his first book, 'The World of Karl Pilkington', is officially published.

The boys also chat twaddle about toenails, scrotum relocation, Steve's nightclub experience, a bridge toll monkey, and a depressive slug. | — | ||||||
| 5/8/25 | S03 E04 - Clippable Mat | Ricky and Steve have had it with Karl and his laziness. This week, Karl goes to a museum, some flies have a fight, Karl pitches his new idea, and the diary speaks of absolute drivel again. Oh, and Karl makes up yet another word. | — | ||||||
| 5/1/25 | S03 E03 - His Lips Fell Off | Karl has had a kidney stone, not sure if you've heard. This week, the boys talk about survival and evolution. God help us all. And Karl treats us to a whopping 3 poems! The boys talk about what a story is, and Karl has a go at an octopus again. | — | ||||||
