Great news because Karl Pilkington is coming back with a new TV show

Created by the team behind An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning of Life.

He's an idiot abroad no more because Karl Pilkington is returning to our screens and it appears that he has learned absolutely nothing! Sick of It is a new comedy series that sees Karl Pilkington taking on two roles - himself, and the voice inside his head, as he muddles through the mundane life he may have led if he hadn’t met Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. In the show, Karl is recently ditched by his long-term girlfriend, as he muddles through life and attempts to make sense of the modern world. Now living with his elderly auntie, Karl's closest companion is the voice in his head, a crotchety, misanthropic alter ego who takes the form of his doppelgänger - it's the uncensored true version of Karl that says what he really thinks without the risk of offending others.  As Karl attempts to move on from the break up and sort out his life, the voice in his head appears periodically to guide, criticise and dispense his unorthodox philosophy of life. Karl Pilkington said: “For most people the inner self is there to help make decisions but mine mainly confuses me and pushes me in the wrong direction. I’d say that doing this series was inner self’s idea. I’ve only just realised that I’m playing myself twice but only being paid once. Like I say, my inner self doesn’t really look out for me.”  It's clear that the creators aren't changing a winning formula because this new show sees the same award-winning team behind An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning of Life working together. Sick of It will air on Sky 1. For more of his genius, we highly recommend these 21 times that Karl Pilkington was the finest mind of his generation.
