Ricky Gervais is the man who puts busy into show business and at the moment he’s turned his hand to playing a four-legged friend!

When he's not writing award-winning sitcoms, he's writing books, performing stand up, hosting award shows, roping in Hollywood A-Listers to star in his latest projects and his latest character is a pooch named Argonaut. A huge dog fan, Ricky lends his voice to the family action adventure Spy Kids 4 as an outrageous robot spy dog!

Also, the third instalment in the Gervais and Merchant sitcom trilogy after The Office and Extras is called Life's Too Short. It is a mock documentary that stars famous dwarf Warwick Davis, who runs a casting agency for dwarves both in real life and in the sitcom. But in the comedy version Warwick ends up nabbing all the good jobs for himself!

Ricky joins us to talk about his latest projects, why life really is too short along with sending his favourite idiot abroad again.
