"A part of me wishes I did try a bit harder [at school] just because of mates I know now who are always saying, ah y'know, "Karl you're stupid and stuff. You don't know enough, you should know more" and all that. But I'm also thinking that, being intelligent, does is make you happier anyway? So yeah, that's sort of what I'm trying to find out really."

Karl Pilkington, who you may know as the round-headed sidekick of one Ricky Gervais, explores his intellect and why he should care in this Channel 4 documentary. Karl goes through testing from big thinkers, including David Icke to see how he stacks up - and whether he's any better off for it.
