Warwick Davis talks about new show with Karl Pilkington Life's Too Short star Warwick Davis has confirmed he is starting work on a new series called The Short Way Round. I'm about to embark on my travels with Mr Karl Pilkington ... It's going to be interesting, would be a word to describe that. I don't know what I'm getting into yet," the actor admitted. There are rumours that the show could consist of Pilkington riding a bike around the world with Davis in the basket. Davis also revealed that he and Ricky Gervais were working on new episodes of their hit comedy Life's Too Short, but could not give any more details. We're writing a special at the moment, I think probably for early next year. I can't tell you, it's terrific though. It's really really great," he said.
