Synopsis

An Idiot Abroad (formerly known as Karl Pilkington's Seven Wonders Of The World) is a travel show on the British TV channel Sky1. It features Karl Pilkington traveling the globe in order to visit each of the Seven Wonders of the World. During his travels, Pilkington visits The Great Wall of China, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, Macchu Picchu in Peru, Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Taj Mahal in India, Petra in Jordan, and the Great Pyramids in Egypt.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant also appear in the series.

The series premiered in the United States January 22, 2011 on The Science Channel, part of The Discovery Channel network. Why Comedy Central didn't pick up the series is beyond me; it's pretty frickin' funny.

Ricky Gervais calls An Idiot Abroad, "The most expensive practical joke I've ever done." Ricky and longtime friend Stephen Merchant are sending their uncultured colleague, Karl Pilkington to visit the 7 Wonders of the World. Will it open his eyes or will he hate every second?
