An Idiot Abroad trailer

Get ready to experience one of the best minds going round today – Karl Pilkington.

Pilkington has become well-known after being introduced to the world by comedy legends Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who both wrote and directed The Office and Extras.

They met Pilkington on their XFM radio series (he was their producer) and have since gone on to record the most downloaded podcast series ever – The Ricky Gervais Show, which they have even based a HBO animated series on of the same name, to huge success.

In this new series, An Idiot Abroad, Pilkington goes out of his comfort zone when visiting the seven wonders of the world. Stephen wants the experience to broaden Karl's mind and change his outlook on the world. Ricky wants Karl to hate every minute of it for his own amusement.

The hilarious series starts tonight (Monday, May 16) at 8.30pm on One HD.
