Returning: The Moaning of Life

Be warned, The Moaning of Life with Karl Pilkington returns to BBC Knowledge later this month.

Karl Pilkington’s hilarious global journey of self-discovery continues in this entertaining travelogue with a twist. Following his discoveries in the first series, this modern day philosopher is now turning his attention to some of life’s other big issues – the body, identity, waste, art, how to live your life, and time.

Embarking on an epic trip that takes him from the arctic conditions of Iceland to rural India, Mexico, Germany, across America and to the metropolis of Tokyo, the An Idiot Abroad star moans his way through a whole new series of weird and wacky experiences. These include fighting street crime with real-life superheroes, learning what life on Mars would be like, trying out the health benefits of drinking urine and – as a man known for his bald head – experiencing the transformational effect of having hair again. Will these new adventures change how Karl sees the world?

Tuesdays at 8.30pm from December 15.
