An Idiot Abroad

I’ve always loved the tv shows and podcasts Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant did.

Shows like The Office, Extra’s and Life’s Too Short are great shows. I love them from the pilot episode until the final episode.

But my favourite tv show from Ricky and Stephen is An Idiot Abroad.

An idiot abroad is a travel documentary broadcasted on Sky1 in England. The show shows the travel of Karl Pilkington.

Each episode Karl goes to one of the Seven Wonders of the World. He goes to Egypt to see the pyramids, he goes to China to see the great wall, …

Every normal person would love to see these wonders but not Karl Pilkington.

He doesn’t like change or different cultures and that’s what makes this show so brilliant.

Season 1 contains 8 episodes, the first 7 episodes Karl visits the Seven Wonder of the World.

The last episode is called ‘Karl comes home’ and this is the best episode of the season.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are talking to Karl for 50 min about everything he did and hated on the trip.

In the second season it’s the same idea but instead of Karl visiting the Seven Wonders of the World, he does things that are on every persons bucket list like bungee jumping, living on an desert island, … but you can see it coming, it’s not on Karl’s bucket list!

I recommend this show to everyone.
