Oh no! I missed it...

I know it's just a preview but is there any way for me to watch it?

It's a brand new Sky One show that they are pimping like nothing else. It's bound to be repeated like a million times.

Infact, it's on twice everyday of the coming week.

Hunders · 5 Sep 2010 at 23:17

Phew. That's a relief... I'm looking forward to watching it on Tuesday

I haven't laughed so much at something on TV in a while. Can't wait for the rest to come out

Is there any way to watch this online?

If you have access to Sky Player then you can watch it that way.

Looks OK, does anyone know how much Gervais will be in the show? I'm hoping not at all but can we really be that lucky?

Will they use 'canned' Gervais laughter all the way through?

My guess is they were just using Gervais/Merchant to promote it. I don't think they'll actually feature in the documentary itself.

I cannot work out why someone would watch this. I've no idea who the guy is, and with his gormless features and dislike of the places he is visiting, and the show having been produced/written/whatever by someone as unfunny as Gervais, what is the attraction? :confused:

You need to listen to the podcasts really. I was like you Gilly then I listened to the podcasts and it really is class.

We find it funny, different sense of humour et al. I'm certain there's things you find funny which wouldn't make me break a smile.

Gilly · 7 Sep 2010 at 14:32

I'm certain that is true

I just can't see the attraction. Usually I can understand it even if it doesn't appeal.

China - Dreadful.

I thought it was really good, and i've never heard Karl swear as much as he did.

For anyone that wants to watch the preview and doesn't have sky Ricky has posted the links to it on his blog.

Totally ruining this preview! I like him too.

I didn't think he was too bad in the preview. The "Guide To" audiobooks though, he just extracts the urine with his OTT laughing.

don't see how its funny.

Ricky gervais is just not funny.

I managed to catch the last part of the preview and he was laughing like a tit. That alone was enough to convince me not to watch it!
