A few weeks ago I saw a preview for An Idiot Abroad. Premise: Ricky Gervais and longtime friend Stephen Merchant are sending their uncultured colleague, Karl Pilkington to visit the 7 Wonders of the World. Will it open his eyes or will he hate every second? Ricky calls An Idiot Abroad, “The most expensive practical joke I’ve ever done.”
Now tell me you don’t want to watch this? If you’re a fan of Ricky, Stephen and Karl (which I am) you will love this show. I have been peeing my pants through each episode. But what I found most surprising was that I didn’t find Karl to be such an idiot. I know, I know. Yes, he says things that are shocking but in An Idiot Abroad he always acts reasonable. As funny as his explanations are, he still has that “reasonable” approach. I know, I sound daft! I am loving this show.
Check out the trailer and some quotes from Karl during his adventures.
