After how miserable he was making the last series (but knowing Karl, he would say he loved the experience now), it's a real wonder why
Karl Pilkington would trust his mates
Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant in sending him away again for the second series of An Idiot Abroad. Currently doing adventures for
An Idiot Aboard 2: The Bucket List, the sequel to Sky 1 HD's highest ever rated show, Pilkington has had enough, leaving a voice-mail about how he's sick of the task he has been given! The round headed buffoon feels duped as the series is supposed to revolve around his own list of things he wants to do before he dies, one of which was 'whale-watching' but Gervais & Merchant weren't ever going to take him to Seaworld. Instead he was sent packing to Alaska on a working fishing boat! Gervais, forever the opportunist, saw Pilkington's voice-mail rant as being perfect for a teaser trailer for the new show, probably to air late this year. And we'd agree, just it's very blue and contains plenty of swear words of the worst kind so this is definitely NSFW; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t_WYqgv6P4 Pilkington is now back from his Alaska stint and according to
Gervais' blog is soon going to Japan for the second adventure. Though of course he's already complaining about it...
