Though Karl decided to make An Idiot Abroad 3 the last Idiot Abroad series, Sky 1 have managed to get him to sign up to do a replacement, less taxing travel show called 'The Moaning Of Life' which sees him go to less grim parts of the world to learn about their culture's attitudes to the 'life's big issues', sounds brilliant, expect something like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syNx6xnCcEw) only more up beat and abroad:

I didn't find his work with Warwick in the last series as funny, but I'll give this a try.

No. An Idiot Abroad was about putting Karl in **** hotels and doing things he hated in and then filming his reaction, this is more like The Ricky Gervais Show and Karl's old 3 Minute Wonder stuff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qGUFPsV314), with him interviewing people with odd beliefs / ideas and taking part in their ceremonies rather than doing mad things he hates.

The problem with the final series was that Karl's funniest when he's left to rant and no one questions him, Warwick kept pointing out the flaws in his arguments, shutting him up. The last ever episode was brilliant though.
