Andere Länder, andere Toiletten – ein durchgeknallter Engländer auf Reisen Sieben Weltwunder der Moderne – und ein Reisemuffel, wie er im Buche steht. Karl Pilkington wäre lieber daheim geblieben, als seinen Kumpels als Versuchskaninchen und Anschauungsobjekt zu dienen: als beklopptester, verpeiltester, unentspanntester Reisender zu Urlaubszielen, über die jeder Normalsterbliche jauchzen würde. Karl indes macht sich zum Vollidioten, wo er auch geht und steht – und schildert seine nicht immer schönen und besonders gern die schlimmen Reiseerlebnisse. Britischer Humor von seiner besten Seite! Inzwischen auch im deutschen Fernsehen auf DMAX: die Kult-Serie aus Großbritannien!
