An Idiot Abroad +

An Idiot Abroad is a British travel documentary television series broadcast on Sky1, as well as spin-off books published by Canongate Books, created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and starring Karl Pilkington. The ongoing theme of both the television series and the books is that Pilkington has no interest in global travel, so Merchant and Gervais make him travel while they themselves stay in England and monitor his progress.
