39:46 - Karl does mean Bulgaria (developing country in SE Europe), not Belgravia (rich part of Central London). You could buy a decent house in Bulgaria for £100k, but houses in Belgravia cost £millions. He's wrong about it doubling in price in a year. Bulgaria's population is falling rapidly due to its very low birthrate & high emigration, so there must be loads of empty houses there & selling them for a large profit would be difficult.

I am always so glad to hear other people say that they don't like parties and 'forced fun' type situations, for the longest time I thought it was just me.

Sometimes Karl speeches are so deep it surprises me. On his monologue starts from 24:30 he actually offers an answer to a question that has been an argument point between philosophers in millenia. He basically just subscribed to the idea of George Berkeley who stated "to be is to be perceived" and the beauty of it that he doesn't know that. There was a quote about Karl that I don't remember the source. I think it was Ricky himself who said this about Karl somewhere: "He is not an idiot. He is uneducated and has a different approach because of it."

Worzel Gummidge was a kid's show in the 80s about a scarecrow.
"I thought I was gonna be the new Palin" Michael Palin, the guy from Monty Python who was the pet shop guy, the lumberjack singer, the Biggus Dickus guy with the speech impediment. He's also made a load of travel documentaries.

Karl can dance. He was into the 80's dancing scene with the body popping & break dancing battles. He picks up on it fast & his improvisation is impressive. You'll see soon enough

The next season is his bucket list, 100 things to do before you die and he gets to pick off the list what he wants to do

Clip shows are usually bad episodes of a show, but the ones for An Idiot Abroad are more like a live action episode of The Ricky Gervais Show so they're really strong.

Season 2's theme is doing things on people's Bucket List.

Karl will bring up his past experience of dancing in episode 9 of The Ricky Gervais Show

"He's just shouting 'Congress Tart'!"

S2 is even better than s1.

21:44 - Mandy's less than comfortable looking a nob in the face!!

I really love your reactions to Karl. You pick up on his little nuances! Looking forward to season two!

Love Karl’s logic. It reminds me of some teenage logic when they are naively trying to make sense of the world.

I think people assume a bit much that what they present is fact, my feeling on this show is that Karl's the main guy and Ricky and Steve are basically just there as supporting cast and the people that helped Karl get this show. I don't think it's them forcing him to do anything, I think that's just for show and how they present it to make it funny.

This is by far the best travel series.

This is one example of when Karl says pretty offensive things , but out of ignorance. “You’ll never hear of a Chinese man who starved to death”. China had the worst famine in history. In the ‘50s after the Great Leap Forward there was a massive famine where between 20 and 40 million people starved to death.

The new Palin refers to Michael Palin, former comedian (Monty Python) but now very respected ted travel writer/presenter

Worzel Gummidge is a British scarecrow that comes to life. I doubt you'd have seen it on American or Argentine TV.

I, my twin brother and a friend have been seeing each other on a Wednesday night since we left school. In all those years we've missed very few of those nights because it's a standing arrangement and if it wasn't for that we would very likely have lost touch by now like most of the friends I've had over the years as days turn into months and then years. We've been friends with the honorary brother for 50 years now and you can't get new old friends so this is the most valuable thing in my life.
