Ricky Gervais has revealed details of a new show starring his sidekick Karl Pilkington.
Writing on his blog, the comedian confirmed that the series will feature Pilkington visiting the new seven wonders of the world.
"It's funny and interesting and different because it's so honest," he said. "Karl is amazing to watch out of his comfort zone.
"I think [he] is the funniest man in the world, but put him in the most uncomfortable situations you can imagine and it's even better."
Gervais added that the show's title had changed since the programme was originally devised, much to Pilkington's annoyance.
"It's called An Idiot Abroad. Karl is not happy. Perfect. I actually reveal it to him in show seven. It's hilarious. All the way round the world up to then he thinks it's called Karl Pilkington's Seven Wonders."
The series is due to air later this year on Sky1.
