An Idiot Abroad S01E01 WS PDTV XviD-aAF

karl pilkington is in this, i think that tells you everything you need to know, it clarifies who the idiot is and
makes it clear that it is some form of reality tv.

of course he can be pretty amusing so it may actually be watchable if you are bored, who knows.

it's very very funny, great to see it on eztv, thanks!

ah was wondering if this would turn up. really looking forward to seeing it, thanks e.

laughed a lot... the idiot is pretty idiotic.... it's like a cliche coming to live....

i don't know if this has to do with gervais or sky 1 but it looks like they picked the most
poorest/primitive slum in beijing to film. most of beijing is not like that. the city is very
modern. i was there last year.
the public toilets are regular ones we're used to seeing as most were upgraded before the olympics.

they must have had to search pretty far to find a public restroom for this episode.
it was probably in some slum in the poor part of town. i also get the feeling they wanted to
reinforce stereotypes too which really don't exist anymore. shame on them.

as ricky gervais has said... he wants to make karl (the presenter) suffer for his own enjoyment.
sending him to some lovely posh hotel in the better parts of town isn't really going to achieve that
goal. this programme isn't a travel programme pre se. it's a comedy... and the comedy comes from
putting karl in awkward uncomfortable situations and making him miserable. bless his little round head.

hurrah, finally someone with some brains. [email protected] you hit the nail on the head. this is
not a travel show to make people want to go a visit these places. this is as ricky gervais puts it the
most expensive practicle joke he has ever played.

karl pilkington is a gimp, but a very funny gimp and seeing him in these situations is by far one of the
funniest things i have seen.

all i can say is awesome!, very well done, totally recommended.
