Classic stuff. I love the rubbish he comes out with because, in a strange way, it makes sense! Not always obviously but he's just comical.

And it's the fact that he rarely travels abroad that makes this documentary so interesting. He's always said that he can see it all on the telly anyway, so what's the point? Lol. Legend.

I have just opened this.
Unfortunately my computer at work has not got audio. (clever boss :hugesmile:)
( When I get bored, I open TiBB,:D)
I will come back to you tonight when I get home.:blush:
Haha.. ok Sooty. :D
And yes James, both Gervais and Pilkington (and the other one who I can never remember his name) are legendary.
I think I've asked you before, but are you a fan of The Office

This thread is like Happyland and setanta chat show.
The combination of unsmiling Pilkington (never heard of him) and Gervais (I have not seen "the office") who laughs loud is quite funny.

The bit with the public toilet and your man walking down the street with a seat had me in stitches. Oh, and your one tucking into the scorpions and Karl's commentary on it. So funny.

When he said that even the woman on the bus is starting to blank me. Oh, and when he tries to smile at everyone at the beginning. It's just classic stuff.

I didnt have high hopes for this show but if Karl is so unwilling to blend in and try new things this show is gonna be one of the funniest of the year.

Oh I definitely think so! I mean, he hates travelling and anything foreign to him. It's almost cruelty actually! :laugh:

Yeah.. I can't really believe that though. Apparently he is like that all the time.. it would be pretty difficult to keep up a fake persona constantly would it not?

If its an act then he's one hell of an actor. I think he does make the odd daft comment to exaggerate the character but I think its mostly him

Yeah.. And he is now one of my favourite people on the telly box, so if he exaggerates it slightly then so be it! :laugh:
Remember episode 2 is on tonight :D
I'm working though :bawling:
Did anybody watch last nights? I missed it but I'm going to watch it tonight.
My mum watched it and she said it has put her off ever going to India (same with China from last week)

I wasn't as mad on this episode as the last. Think it was because of the poverty and how grumpy and ill Karl was half the time. Still very interesting though.
You know the elephant guy they met? Well, do any of you remember a documentary about a disfiguring illness that effects people in South America? I think they called this guy the tree man or something? Yeah, as you can see my memory is incredible!

Yeah.. they send him to some grim areas but he still makes me laugh
"my eyes have never been so busy" hahah
"I have an ensuite shed" hahahahahahah
He was right to have a tantrum about that hotel room! I would never have stayed in it! I would rather sleep on the pavement outside to be honest!
His tent on the Ganges was amazing though... that looked like somewhere I could have been quite happy!
ANd no, I don't remember such a documentary, but seeing as my memory is probably worse than yours, I may have done and just forgotten! :laugh:

This weeks episode was funny and disturbing in equal measures.
And bizarre!! Whit about than chap who has held his arm in the air for years?!!
You'd think somebody would say "look, fair do's if that's what you want to do, but let me cut those nails for you ffs"
