Hope you enjoyed the new exclusive clips. 
Not long now to the actual series. Well, An Idiot Abroad at least. Bit Longer to wait for Life’s Too Short I’m afraid. 

Just like last year, in preparation for recording the final episode of An Idiot Abroad, I am trying to collect all the comments from people who already know stuff about the second series. They will be useful for when we film episode 8 - ‘The Homecoming’. 

This guy must have sneaked into the edit and watched all 8 shows. We haven’t even filmed one of them and have only really finished editing two, but if he’s this spot on at this stage how good will his reviews be when he’s actually seen something? Brilliant I imagine.

Yay, another series of “Ricky Gervais sends his dull, slightly racist mate to go mock people for an hour, which you idiots will lap up.”

But obviously there are some great comments too. 
This was left on YouTube…

Ha ha. Can’t wait to read that to Karl. He’ll be over the moon with that one. It’s annoying that you can’t leave comments after the Frank Barrett article. 
I was really looking forward to those. 

Joking aside, I absolutely love the negative comments from the people who don’t get it, or don’t care for it, or just don’t find it funny. It makes it even funnier for me. 

But I’m surprised that they don’t know why we do it by now. We do it for a laugh. We do it because it’s the best job in the world. We do it because we’d be doing it anyway if it wasn’t our job and we weren’t getting paid silly money for it. 

But most of all we do it because we’re friends. 
I can’t believe my luck really. Not because of the success. But because I’ve always had such fucking great mates. I hope Frank Barrett occasionally feels the explosive joy that I feel every minute of the day that I spend with friends. 

I really do. Otherwise I can’t laugh at him. 

That’s why it annoys me, Steve AND Karl, when people say that An Idiot abroad is bullying. 
It’s not. 
THIS is bullying… 
(Only joking. We loved this guy.)
