An Idiot Abroad

[Chicken Runner61]

Just watched the preview - Apart from Gervais' s laugh it was hilarious.

Unless that was well scripted or edited the series should be worth watching

When is it on?

Yeah I saw that the other week. Carl Pilkington was pretty funny. Am looking forward to the series starting next week, but a little worried it could be very very annoying after a while. Fingers crossed

Cheers guys. Can't stand Gervais but Pilkington is brilliant.

 

[We're the Stripes]

Yup, agree in that Gervais can become annoying but Pilkington is superb entertainment. And I've always liked Merchant.

Interested to see how they involve Ricky & Steve once the series gets underway. Will they keep cutting back to a studio with them pissing themselves after Pilkington says/does something ridiculous? How's it gonna work?

I cannot wait for this, Pilky is the fuckin man. One of my favourite ever clips:

[The Great Cornholio]

Cheers guys. Can't stand Gervais but Pilkington is brilliant.

You do realise that Karl is scripted by Gervais and Merchant I presume?

Edit - I see they deny that but seems more than likely. Anyway, typing Karl into Google brings Pilkington as the top option with Marx second. Crazy world.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Gervais was asked, by Prince Harry to go to Afghanistan to perform for the troops. He apparently refused on the grounds of cowardice rather than any moral objection.
