An Idiot Abroad 3 - Starts 19 January in the US on Science Karl heads off on a new odyssey. This time, Ricky has teamed him up with a little pal, Warwick Davis.
AN IDIOT ABROAD 2
An Idiot Abroad 2 - The Bucket List saw Karl sent off around the world to experience 'things to do before you die'. As before, Ricky and Steve pulled the strings and Karl had no idea what he was in for.
AN IDIOT ABROAD
Karl Pilkington, described by Ricky as a village idiot of global proportions, is despatched on a mind-broadening mission around the world.
Ricky and Steve devise an itinerary that has Karl visiting some of humanity's most impressive monuments with time along the way to experience first-hand the diversity of cultures extant in today's global community.
Karl being Karl though, Ricky and Steve have an uphill task if they are going to elicit any degree of enlightenment from the exercise.
An Idiot Abraod series 1 covers seven incident-packed odyseys plus an eighth episode debrief.
In the UK, An Idiot Abroad went out on Sky1 HD and in the US on The Science Channel. Both stations have extensive web coverage with tons of clips, pics and interviews.
