An Idiot Abroad: Series Three product reviews

It's not big and it's not clever.

In the third instalment of the hit series An Idiot Abroad, Ricky Gervais has persuaded his friend Karl Pilkington to embark on a new adventure following in the footsteps of the great explorer Marco Polo. But this time he'll have company. Ricky is sending Warwick Davis to join Karl on the 5000 mile journey from Venice to China.

Along the way their relationship is tested as they attend a traditional masked ball, live with Romani Gypsies, act in a Bollywood film, and attempt to climb a sacred mountain. How will the 'little Englander' cope with Warwick's enthusiasm for the local traditions and culture, and will they still be talking when they reach the end of the route?

I have seen a few episodes from the previous seasons, and they were hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of a travel show with a comedic spin to it. Showing somewhat 'real' perspectives to different cultures, as opposed to other travel shows where everything that is different is great. So I had an idea of what to expect from this.

But Series 3 fell short of my expectations. With only 3 episodes, compared to the 8 episodes of the previous seasons, this installment was moving at an accelerated rate and therefore didn't feel like a journey at all. The addition of Warwick Davis, was an interesting one, but left the show feeling more like a tame version of Jackass.

The series had gotten to the point where Karl Pilkington was doing the things asked of him without much of a fight, which lessened the comedic potential, and the strained relationship between both Warwick and Karl provided a few extra laughs, but it got rather tiresome after a while. I did get a few laughs from this series though, so it was reasonably entertaining as a comedy; but as a travel show, it wasn't up to grade. Moving through a country per episode was just far too quick.

Product reviews for listing 8183: Dannevirke Fantasy Cave -  Location: High Street, Dannevirke

Product image for Dannevirke Fantasy CaveDannevirke Fantasy Cave is a treasure that is unique to New Zealand. It is a special place not only for the children but also for the "young at heart". Situated in Dannevirke's main street, it is readily accessible for those passing through town with plenty of parking in the nearby side streets.

Allow plenty of time to see all the exhibits - there is so much to see! There is limited wheelchair access to most of the galleries.
