Review #12139 - Dated: 25th of July, 2014
Author: alexmoulton |
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.
