An Idiot Abroad is a travel documentary television series broadcast, as well as a spin-off book published by Canongate Books,[SUP][/SUP] created by and featuring Karl Pilkington and his former radio show colleagues Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.[SUP][/SUP] The ongoing theme of both the television series and the book is that Pilkington has no interest in global travel and so Merchant and Gervais make him travel while they themselves stay in London and monitor his progress.

Anyone else seen this on the SCI channel? Very funny.

I watched the first season, haven't caught any of season #2. Really funny at points, and really poignant as well. Good balance, good show.

Love this show

Love it, although this week's episode is kinda boring compared to others.

Him on the Trans Siberian train was funny. Dear lord.....3rd class on a train?

"I didn't know their was a 3rd class."
