An Idiot Abroad is a British travel documentaryroad tripcomedytelevision series broadcast on Sky 1, as well as a series of companion books published by Canongate Books,1 created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and starring Karl Pilkington. The ongoing theme of both the television series and the books is that Pilkington has no interest in global travel, so Merchant and Gervais make him travel while they stay in the United Kingdom and monitor his progress. OvervieweditOriginally entitled Karl Pilkingtons Seven Wonders of the World,4An Idiot Abroad documents Karl Pilkingtons journeys to foreign countries under the guise of visiting the New Seven Wonders of the World. Though the New Seven Wonders of the World include the Colosseum in Rome, this is not one of Pilkingtons destinations instead he visits the Great Pyramids in Egypt which is the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World to remain intact.

Gervais and Merchant call Pilkington during each trip, to assign him tasks often not related to why he believed he was visiting the country. These include training as a luchador, travelling the desert on a camel, and dancing with a samba school in a Carnival parade. It was confirmed by the shows producers that Pilkington has no prior warning about these situations. The camera man coaxes him along. Gervais commented This is a more real documentary than most others youll ever see on television. We dont plan it, he doesnt know whats going to happen. A book entitled The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington was published shortly after the series. It was authored by Pilkington and gives a deeper insight into his feelings on what he was experiencing. The second series shows Pilkington performing activities from a general but not his bucket list. Gervais produced a Christmas special mini series that aired in the UK in late 2. The original concept, pitched by Gervais, was to show Pilkington and Warwick Davis travelling around England on a bike together. The final outcome featured the pair travelling to China from Venice via Eastern Europe and India, loosely based on the journey of Marco Polo. Gervais said, We started planning the route for An Idiot Abroad 3 The Short Way Round, this week. Its only a three part special but weve decided to make it a bit more global as opposed to around Kent for a few days, Pilkington is starting to regret it already. An Idiot Abroad 3 did not feature Stephen Merchant who was busy with other projects. After the conclusion of the show, Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington worked together again in the TV series Derek.

Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter praised the show, saying At times, its nearly impossible not to fall apart laughing. An Idiot Abroad is ridiculously funny and even when its clear that Gervais and Merchant pulling the strings back home in England and communicating with Pilkington via cell phone some of these exchanges are scripted and sound added post production, since cell coverage is not available in remote areas are having a cruel laugh, its nearly impossible not to fall apart laughing at poor Pilkingtons fate. What. Culture responded positively to the first series, saying Its the funniest documentary I have ever seen and maybe even the best. I will say that An Idiot Abroad has the potential to be a very memorable TV travel series, packed full of humour, heart and unique insights into other cultures. TV Shows on DVD gave the first series a positive review, saying Ive been to places featured in three of the episodes, and it was a blast watching Karl experience them. MSN gave the second series a positive review An Idiot Abroad 2 may dress up its premise as bucket list, but its really a fish out of water presentation of Karl Pilkingtons idiot savant credentials. The laughter he inevitably provokes, regardless of the situation, make this a must see.
