In the third instalment of the hit series, Ricky Gervais has persuaded his friend Karl Pilkington to embark on a new adventure following in the footsteps of the great explorer Marco Polo. This time he'll have a little company. Ricky is sending Warwick Davis to join Karl on the 5000 mile journey from Venice to China. Along the way their relationship is tested as they attend a traditional masked ball, live with Romani Gypsies, act in a Bollywood film, and attempt to climb a sacred mountain. How will he cope with Warwick's enthusiasm for the local traditions and culture, and will they still be talking when they reach the end of the route?
