An Idiot Abroad

[Ulysses31]

This was on last night and follows Ricky Gervais's dimwitted sidekick Karl Pilkington travelling to Jordan (Via Israel and Palestine unbeknown to him :1orglaugh). Anyway found it online so decided to post it, although fairly funny it also gives a great insight into the lives of everyday Israelis and Palestinians from a somewhat humerous point of view. Enjoy :1orglaugh

An Idiot Abroad is

An Idiot Abroad (formerly known as Karl Pilkington's Seven Wonders Of The World) is a travel show on Sky1. It features Karl Pilkington travelling the globe in order to visit each of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. During his travels Karl will visit Great Wall of China, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, Macchu Picchu in Peru, Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Taj Mahal in India, Petra in Jordan, The Colosseum in Rome and the Great Pyramids in Egypt. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant got the idea for this show after Karl had mentioned that he thought they were all a bit boring and had no interest in seeing them. In February 2010 Ricky Gervais stated via his blog that Karl had lost weight due to the food in India, or as Ricky put it "he shat himself thin". Ricky also confirmed that he and Stephen Merchant have been involved with the editing of the show.

It's been an absolutely brilliant series so far. I'm enjoying it because like LukeEl, I thought the podcasts were hilarious...and also you only get very short bursts of Ricky Gervais on Idiot Abroad so I appreciate that element of it as well.
