AN IDIOT ABROAD

An Idiot Abroad small logo
After sending Karl Pilkington to see the Seven Wonders, and then on a journey of a lifetime to experience the ultimate "Things To Do Before You Die", Ricky Gervais persuades Karl to go on "one last job" and embark on an epic journey following the footsteps of famous explorer Marco Polo. Season 3 follows the legendary trail along the Silk Route from Italy to China. But this time, to help Karl with the loneliness of being away from home, Ricky's arranged for his mate Warwick Davis, to keep him company.

Over the course of a 5000 mile journey from Venice, to Eastern Europe, India and China, we'll follow Karl and Warwick as they get stuck into different cultures and traditions, illuminated by Karl's trademark observations about the world and Warwick's varying experiences as a little person in different countries.

And we'll chart the ups and downs of this odd couple, whose only thing in common is their friendship with Ricky. Karl Pilkington, 6' 1" son of a taxi driver who never passed any exams, known around the world as a "round headed buffoon"; and Warwick Davis, 3' 6", public school educated son of an insurance broker, and all round nice guy. While Karl would quite happily go on a massive trek to see a pig that walks on two legs, Warwick is much more at home in an Art Gallery. While Karl moans about everything, and tries to wriggle out of things, Warwick's always enthusiastic about the world and puts Karl to shame.

Ricky couldn't have picked out more perfect travelling companions. He said: "Karl once said to me that opposites attract. Warwick Davis is sociable, hardworking and never complains. They should get along fine."
