An Idiot Abroad (2010–2012)
10/10
1,000,000 of travel documentaries, only 1 worth watching, Karl you are a star!
3 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Karl is me. Karl likes travelling in style. Karl loves to be clean.

I love this.

Karl is forced to experience the "real" world of gap year travel adventures. The horror is "real" and I felt for Karl at every point in this simply wonderful program. This is not about Ricky or Steve, this is about the power they have to make a man desperate for fame and money do anything they want to. It is a power we all wished we had at sometime in our lives.

Karl becomes their victim, their toy, their muse. Karl shows how a man with simple thoughts and simple requirements finds the pain of earning success almost breaks him. The romance of travel is well and truly removed by this show yet at the same time the super high definition video is more breathtaking than any travel show I have ever seen.

You will laugh to you cry at poor Karl, the best thing Sky have ever made. I am ordering my Bluray after only seeing the first two programs and I know it will be money well spent.
