Chris McCausland’s new show Wonders Of The World I Can’t See had Channel 4 viewers in stitches on Monday night.
The new four-part series began with the comedian being toured around the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, with audio commentary provided by none other than Harry Hill.
However, Harry’s explanations could not paint a clear image for Chris, who is blind owing to retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary illness that causes visual loss.
‘We’re right on top of a massive rock,’ Harry attempted to explain. ‘It’s a series of columns. If you imagine a shoe box but instead of the sides of the shoe box you’ve got columns [and] you’ve lost the lid.’
‘Ah okay, so it’s almost like an ancient gazebo?’ Chris responded.
Speaking privately to the camera, Chris continued: ‘It 100% sounds like he’s describing a gazebo. When I referenced that, he shot me down like I misunderstood.
‘He did have me climb a massive hill in like 40-degree heat and going through crowds of tourists to basically have some pillars described to me.’
Viewers raced to social media to celebrate Chris’s new show, which has already been dubbed the “comedy show of the year” by one fan.
Love this duo of Chris McCausland and Harry Hill 🤣 #C4WOW
