Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the Emmy-winning duo responsible for the classic sitcom 'The Office', are behind this eight-episode practical joke-turned-sociology experiment. It features Gervais and Merchant surprising their friend, the close-minded and simple Karl Pilkington, with a trip around the world to visit the Seven Wonders. It's a dream journey for most, but Pilkington has reservations, to say the least, especially considering Gervais and Merchant want him to become 'one with the locals' at each stop.
