I did read the novel a long time ago, maybe I should again!

Occasionally, if I need a small dose of humor, I’ll see what short snippets I can find on YouTube. We’ve never needed that kind of escapism more!

I’ve heard of An Idiot Abroad but not seen it, would watch if it was shown on the channels I have access to. Comedy and travel are a good mix!

Have you seen the more recent series an Idiot Abroad, a Gervais and Merchant production? It definitely borrows on classic travel shows. A hysterical update on the genre.

This is the first time I’ve seen it πŸ™‚ I think the first travel programme was bound to be the most fun as it’s a new concept. I’m also going to watch Pole to Pole.

He published his diaries of his adventures πŸ™‚ I also read Pole to Pole, Sahara, Full Circle. Glad this post brought back memories of watching πŸ˜€

I’ve watched it a few times and read the book too. I think it’s my favourite of his as he’s the silliest in this one, maybe because it’s his first travel program?

I didn't know there was a book though, lol.]]> Oh I just loved this series so much, my family loved it when they started showing reruns on TV many years ago. We actually somehow bought a trilogy of his adventures on multiple VHS tapes. This one plus Pole to Pole and Full Circle. I’ve rewatched it quite a few times ☺️. I didn’t know there was a book though, lol.
