An Idiot Abroad

Don't watch much telly but watching the above on some Freeview channel.

I really want to shoot that chunt. Then eat a pound of anti-depressants although I suspect I'd be on a high anyway after offing the prick.

Has telly really sunk to such lows?

I've met Suity, he's a barrel of laughs compared to this guy.

Karl Pilkington, supposed to be some hapless fop, he's obviously an actor and whilst I do find him slightly amusing, it's cos of the old scripted line not the pre-constructed made up scenarios he 'ends up' in....

Nor me

Has telly really sunk to such lows?

Yep

Turn it off and learn a new riff instead .... loud enough to spoil the tulip telly the neighbours are watching

[sasguru]

Agreed. That must be one of the most stupid shows ever. And that's why I watch very little TV.

He, and Gervais, strenuously argue he is not an actor. He became known through the Ricky Gervais free podcasts several years back (worth a listen) and this is essentially an offshoot of that I think, certainly a logical extension.

Never seen the show but I'd hoped it would be good. Any podcast fans care to throw in their opinion?

You'll probably like it.

It's true that I'm not an endlessly pontificating intellectual snob who takes pride in maintaining a veil of elitism because it's so important to me how I'm perceived by others and I know I'm nowhere near as special as I like to claim.

Good point.

No, you'll like it because it's a show about a cretin, made for cretins.
