Karl revisits his concept for improving the life cycle, fending off Ricky and Stephen's ridicule. Pilkington also shoots holes in practice of donating a goat to an African family in lieu of giving a holiday gift, and finds a flaw with the assumption that space travel is pleasurable.
Also up for discussion: Karl's preferred super power, the true greatness of great sayings and the homeless. In "Monkey News": A Moscow chat show has to turn to a chimp in a staffing pinch.
