Karl Pilkington the Confucian-like savant of the ' Ricky Gervais Show' has led an extraordinary & curiously individual life. As a kid growing up in Manchester he regularly missed school to accompany his parents on caravanning holidays & left without collecting his exam results: his family weaned him well.
