, which is a pseudo documentary series about Karl Pilkington (the idiot former producer of the Ricky Gervais Podcast) visiting the new Seven Wonders of the World just because Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant wanted to make Karl uncomfortable by making him travel to these places he doesn't want to go. How they got Sky to fund this so-called "practical joke" is beyond me. At the same time, I kind of understand Karl not wanting to go in the first place.So Karl's first stop is China, where he saw the weird street food, the toilets with no doors and the Great Wall of China. Along the way, he gets calls, voicemails and text messages from Ricky and Stephen, telling him to do certain stuff to make his life more difficult for their own (and the audience) amusement.
Karl thought he was done with the Great Wall until he gets a call from Stephen, telling him to see the WHOLE wall and so he scales the entire length of the Wall. Poor dude.
Most memorably stupid line of the episode? "It's the Alright Wall of China"
I'm not sure if I could bring myself to watch the rest of the series - based on this one episode, it could be a hilarious train wreck.
