Week two hundred and eight - February/March 2012
Started pre-production on An Idiot Abroad 3: The Short Way Round, this week.

We’ve basically only sorted the budget and a rough route at the moment, but it feels great to actually be working on it, and it means that Karl is in too deep to pull out now. Ha ha.
An Idiot Abroad 2 has been nominated for a Royal Television Society Award. Which is nice. Doubt I’ll be able to get Karl to put on his 2002 Bafta suit to actually go along in person, but still.
Life’s Too Short has been nominated for best sitcom at The Rose D’Or Awards in Switzerland by the way.
I’m very pleased with that to be honest. It will help with overseas sales for a start. (Always thinking, me) It’s already coming to Paramount Comedy, Spain; TVNZ, New Zealand; ABC, Australia; DBS, Israel; TV Norge, Norway; SVT, Sweden; TV2, Denmark; HBO, Asia - and we are talking to another 20 or so countries around the world.
And one final bit of international news…
I’m planning a European arena tour. It will be quite intense playing as many big venues as possible in a short amount of time between filming various projects I have in the UK and America.
But once the show is nailed down I can always pop back and forth for the odd gig.
