Funniest thing we have seen in ages - An Idiot Abroad: Series 1 review by CP Customer
Not having Sky I have only heard from friends how funny this is - I was not disappointed! Karl travels to see the Wonders of the World & although the people & places are set up he comes across as an extremely naturally funny bloke!

Could be good - An Idiot Abroad: Series 1 review by JD
Clearly it is important to have famous names on the front. But in this case Gervais and Merchant are extremely patronising, irritating and are unwanted intrusions into the trials and inner world of an Englishman abroad. Although Karl Pilkington sometimes lays it on a bit thick, his experience of exotic travel is much more honest than ever previously documented. If he had a few more good days and the prattish Gervais and Mechant were completely edited out, it would be brilliant.
