That was an excellent tv play alright.

Having watched Benefits street, it's not much different to Sesame Street. Both have a big bird, a bloke living out of a bin, and people trying to learn the alphabet.

Anyone watched much of "An idiot abroad"? Took in the first episode tonight, thoight it was half decent! Does it stay that way?

I work with a few English lads who were raving non-stop about this show last year. I thought it was just about ok. IMO it 's very staged, a la Top Gear and Bear Grylls. They're successful shows I suppose, but I always find myself watching and thinking " this is fake, this part was set-up, he's only pretending to be surprised etc. etc.". Pilkington is quite funny but not funny enough to make up for the arseholery of Gervais and his sidekick.

I don't think it's staged to the extent of a Top Gear or a Bear Grylls. If Karl knew exactly what he was getting himself in for he wouldn't agree to half the stuff they make him do. Yes everyone else probably knows about it but I don't think he does.

PS. I think Gervais is brilliant and anything with him and Karl in it I will watch as some of the stuff to come out of it is hilarious... This is probably my favourite thing they've done:

An Idiot Abroad wasn't my cup of tea at all, thought it was pure shite. A guy ignorant of other cultures and traditions basically travels about being insulting/offensive (in a light hearted manner of course) for the amusement of others. Just don't get it.
