An Idiot Abroad documents Karl Pilkington's journeys to foreign countries under the guide of visiting the New Seven Wonders of the World. Though the New Seven Wonders of the World include the Colosseum in Rome, this is not one of Pilkington's destinations because Ricky and Stephen thought that he might feel too comfortable in Rome; instead he visits the Great Pyramids in Egypt (which is the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World to remain intact). Despite the stated focus of visiting the wonders, most of each episode focuses on Karl's reactions to cultural differences and idiosyncrasies in the countries he visits. To make things more interesting, Ricky and Stephen call Karl during each trip to assign tasks highlighting local culture or geography, including training as a luchador, traveling the desert on a camel, and dancing with a samba school in a Carnival parade. It was stated by the show's producers that Pilkington has no prior warning about these situations. Gervais commented: "This is a [more real] documentary than most others you'll ever see on television. We don't plan it, he doesn't know what's going to happen." The show was supposedly going to be called Karl Pilkington's Seven Wonders, but Ricky informs Karl of the new title at the end of his last trip; given Ricky's love of harassing Karl, he may never have intended to use the purported original title. The second series shows Karl performing activities from his "bucket list". Pilkington agreed to do a second series on the condition that he was to choose what he would do and that he got to use proper toilets. To keep the series interesting, Ricky and Stephen went behind Karl's back and arranged surprises for him to make him hate it even more than the first. He ends up visiting more places than he did in the first series, suffering through a number of detours.
An Idiot Abroad is a travel documentary television series broadcast on Sky1, as well as a spin-off book published by Canongate Books, created by and featuring Karl Pilkington and his former radio show colleagues Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. The ongoing theme of both the television series and the book is that Pilkington has no interest in global travel and so Merchant and Gervais make him travel while they themselves stay in London and monitor his progress.
