The Moaning of Life is a British travel documentary comedy television series broadcast on Sky 1. It follows Karl Pilkington around the world as he visits other cultures.[1] Unlike An Idiot Abroad, which had a similar premise, The Moaning of Life sees Pilkington actually choosing to visit other countries in order to see how they face up to some of life's biggest issues with their cultures and customs. He also reassesses his life now that he has reached the age of 40, which he considers to be "middle age".[1] The series has eleven one-hour episodes, and sees Pilkington visiting Ghana, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, South Africa, Taiwan, and the United States.[2] Its original broadcast run in the United Kingdom began on 20 October 2013.
Sky1 postponed the fifth and final episode of the first season – "Death", which sees Pilkington in the Philippines contemplating death with locals – after Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines in early November 2013.[3] Originally scheduled for 17 November 2013, it was not broadcast until 17 December 2013.
The series was released in the United Kingdom on DVD and Blu-ray on 18 November 2013.
Discovery Communications' Science began broadcasting The Moaning of Life in North America on 18 January 2014.[4][5] The series aired in Australia from 17 February 2015 on BBC Knowledge.[6]
A six-part second and final series was commissioned and premiered on 13 October 2015.[7]
