Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington
Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington | Karl Pilkington
8 posts | 10 read | 11 to read
The companion guide to the hysterical television show of the same name, in which Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant force their arrestingly simple pal Karl Pilkington on a global journey ""He'd have been happier in medieval times in a village where you didn't travel beyond the local community." --Stephen Merchant" A cult celebrity due to his role in "The Ricky Gervais Show," the most-downloaded podcast ever, Karl Pilkington has been accused of being a comic creation, so unburdened is he by complex thought--but that is truly just him. The trio's newest project mines Karl massive provinciality: put simply, Karl is not big on traveling. Given the choice, he'll go on vacation to Devon or Wales or, if pushed, eat English food on a package tour of the Mediterranean. So what happened when he was convinced by Gervais and Merchant to go on an epic adventure to see the Seven Wonders of the World? Does travel truly broaden the mind? Find out in Karl Pilkington's hilarious travel diaries.

✴ Tom Hardy & Jason Momoa
✴ 💜💙
✴ The Book of Negroes
✴ 1. Mark Watney from The Martian, cuz ya know... he's been there before. 2. Owen Wedgwood from Cinnamon and Gunpowder, because he's can cook amazing food from meager rations. 3. Jamie Fraser, from Outlander. For protection & eye candy. 4. Karl Pilkington from An Idiot Abroad. For pure entertainment value. He would hate it. 😂
✴ Who doesn't love Tom or Jason?!

EscapedAcademic Karl would be an amazing Mars companion. As soon as he realized he wasn‘t going to meet a “little alien fella” he‘d be so hilariously grumpy. 7y
