Dubious travel show host Karl Pilkington has once again been coerced into a worldly excursion by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and will bring season 2 of ââ¬ËAn Idiot Abroadââ¬â¢ to the cable network, Science.
Science plans to bring back the highly rated travel program An Idiot Abroad from producers Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant for season 2.
Last year, nascent adventurer Karl Pilkington was sent on a globetrotting escapade (more or less against his will) by his long-time friends Gervais and Merchant. During the season, Pilkington visited the likes of Rio, Egypt and China where he participated in strange challenges ââ¬â when he wasnââ¬â¢t too busy complaining.
Pilkingtonââ¬â¢s general distaste for the adventure, in conjunction with his less-than-exuberant reactions toward his surroundings, helped make An Idiot Abroad the highest viewed program for Science in the channelââ¬â¢s history.
Things will be a little different for the show in its second season. The inaugural run of Idiot was actually acquired by Science after it first aired in the UK. This time around, the cable channel will be taking part in upcoming episodes by serving as a producing partner ââ¬â thereby having a say in which locales will make Pilkington miserable next.
It seems Pilkingtonââ¬â¢s onscreen discomfort is something of a treat for Gervais, who seems excited at the possibilities in store for his friend.
The concept of season 2 will focus on ââ¬Ëbucket listââ¬â¢ destinations ââ¬â or places one should see before they die. Whose bucket list? Well, not Pilkingtonââ¬â¢s, likely. To hear him put it, heââ¬â¢s not too fond of the concept.
