Title: An Idiot Abroad Post by: fuser on October 03, 2010, 12:58:01 PM New sky series featuring Karl Pilkington visiting the seven wonders of the world.
Preview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUTH1coLIWE) China aired last week and Inda last night. It's a bit slow as he has no one to directly play off but you get some real funny stuff "taste of toad", "ensuite shed". china: Deleted Scenes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZaHKgGuNOw) Title: Re: An Idiot Abroad Post by: Arthur_Parker on October 03, 2010, 01:13:40 PM It took me a long time to start to like Karl, my Mrs has always loved his stuff so I end up watching it. But I must admit this new series is awesome, I don't normally trust a word Ricky Gervais says but when he described this whole series as his most expensive practical joke ever, I believe him. Karl is just not mentally equipped to travel outside England.

Title: Re: An Idiot Abroad Post by: fuser on October 03, 2010, 03:09:57 PM There is a huge swath of Karl that is hammed up or prescripted stories, but his whingeing seems candid. God knows during the India episode being sick twice, diarrhea for 9 days, and then thrown into that honeymoon suite room anyone would loose their cool.

Btw the diaries book will be a great Christmas gift. Title: Re: An Idiot Abroad Post by: Sky on June 02, 2011, 06:57:35 AM Missed this thread.
My fiancee is always using the line about not living in the cool carved temple, but living in the cave across the way from it. Fucking brilliant, love Karl's schtick. |
