  • Summary: On a podcast, Karl Pilkington admitted that he doesn't see the fuss about the Seven Wonders of the World, despite never going to see even one of them. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant respond by sending him around the world to experience the Wonders for himself. An Idiot Abroad, filmed in high definition, is the documentary travelogue series that covers Pilkington's journey as he visits landmarks like the Great Wall of China and the Great Pyramids of Egypt.… Expand

    This show is so funny! Karl Pilkington is so fun to watch and travels to these amazing places we see a different side too. He always speaks his mind and is not always so happy with the outcome. Keep traveling we want to watch!… Expand

    This show is clever and funny. Lands small messages about big issues, but doesn't dwell on anything deep. Karl Pilkington takes you on a journey and you can relate to most of the things he says, and he says pretty much everything he thinks. He's not a character, this is who is, and that just adds to the show. Great hidden gem on TV.… Expand

    One of the best shows on TV. A show about the typical Englishman out of his comfort zone getting tormented by a mate. Ricky Gervais is that mate. Ricky and Stephen Merchant send Karl on trips across the globe to "broaden his mind" for their own amusement. They consistently annoy him as it is "NOT a holiday!" Tormenting Karl is where the comedy comes from. Just like the Ricky Gervais podcast we get to hear the wisdom of the wonderful Karl Pilkington. The first season is the best ofcourse but the other 2 are also brilliant. In series 3 Karl is accompanied by a dwarf actor called Warwick. Karl doesn't really enjoy his company as he doesn't find midgets very useful. I don't agree with Karl on that part but I believe Warwick thinks he's better than the average man. All he ever talks about is his great acting skills and his tour guide book. As Karl says "Oh, here we go again..." Great comedy along with some great shots from all over the world. Even if you don't learn anything you do get to see other cultures and have a good laugh whilst doing so. Karl is a legend!… Collapse
