An Idiot Abroad is a British travel documentary television series broadcast on Sky1 and Science, 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 stay in the United Kingdom and monitor his progress.

"What did they put this poor man through. Great show omg just the fact he doesn't want to go to these places is pretty funny."

Sarah Zimmermann

"Omg this was so good. So so good. I've rewatched it several times and it doesn't get old."

Candace Danbury

"I swear Gervais and Merchant have to be one of the funniest comedy duos ever this reality show probably with more writing sends Ricky Gervais friend Karl Pilkington to different countries and he gives his 2 cents on the way they live while trying to adapt to the different cultures it's really hilarious and I recommend to everyone "
