Yup, Buckingham is Bucking'em. Birmingham is Birming'em. Yorkshire is York'shuh. Leicester is Lester. Worcester is Wuster. It can get pretty confusing for non-Brits.
Another complication is that the pronunciation of place names can vary due to regional accents. You may notice Ricky mocking Karl sometimes over how he pronounces some place names.

Karl looks anxious because he's spent years having his head "Squoze" (Crushed) between the mighty hands of Gervais, getting screamed at, called an idiot and being trolled into oblivion.
With the pronunciation of Buckingham, it varies depending on someone's accent for example Karl is from up north so his pronunciation is completely different to someone who is from down south (near London).
Karl isn't so much strange as "Mancunian" (from Manchester). My husband is from there and he is the same - constantly seems underwhelmed by everything, monosyllabic unless he is angry, zero life experiences outside of Manchester and very contrary. Bless him. 🤣
There are a few others similar to this. One really good one is Ricky and Karl doing Mr and Mrs. That basically involves them both being asked questions about Karl such as likes and dislikes, and seeing if Ricky can guess what Karl will say.
😄 Just remember that Karl actually thinks....that this is a real learn English programme. While Ricky knows full well this is just a wind up! Brilliant! And while Karl thinks that...he actually acting like it's a real travel guide for Chinese people. London Eyye. It's basically "the worst English lesson ever" (as Ricky remarks) and, unsurprisingly, the worst real travel guide for Chinese people. An improv comedy masterpiece like no other and a high totem of British humor. Endlessly rewatchable.
He is nervous mostly because he has no idea what awkward situations Ricky might put him in during the discussion, and there is always a possibilty Ricky might start wrestling with him or put a rubbish bin on his head (again)😂😂😂
Yes this is why we said to see his live facial expressions as it gives an insight to the workings of his mind. You're right Ricky does this because he knows Karl hates this type of thing, Karl is so done with near everything in life and Ricky likes to take advantage of that, the exact type of thing you will see in Idiot Abroad...Karl being put of of his comfort zone. Will look forward to you watching more of real life Karl. Keep up the good work Rich!
On his radio podcast with Ricky and Stephen he predicted an epidemic flu that would wipe us out. A term we could not see in 2020. So his views not all stupid, he was right. RUclips Karl Pilkington pandemic
@@richrants5858 Karl predicted quite a lot of things on the podcasts/XFM shows. The pandemic, Augmented Reality - the Oculus Rift headset, Pokemon Go, etc. - and I'm certain he said devices like the iPod and iPhone will get smaller/thinner down the line. And Ricky and Steve just laughed at him, said it was bollocks, and then said he had a head like a fucking orange.

I think people who think Carl is nervous don't get it. He's a deadpan comedy genius playing an exagerrated version of himself, and it's bloody brilliant :) It's classic comedy - you have the "clown" who constantly makes jokes and the "straight man" who pretends not to get the jokes, and somehow it just works
Funny review. Yeah. Brits say hmm or emm not HAM, especially in place names. For example the UKs major city - Birmingham. Americans say and emphasise HAM. Brits just say emm/hmm depending on your local accent.
It's so annoying how this guy is looking for any opportunity to think that Karl is an idiot. The next second he realizes what Karl said actually makes sense and he has to act like he wasn't pretend flabbergasted at Karl.
hahah, I wonder how many chinese ppl there are in that room in Pilkington universe :D Karl was talking bout the pronounciation of "where" and "wear", they are the same, u are actually acting a bit like Karl when u presume he is talking bout the spelling :P also, the "massage parlor" scene when he goes straight to "we are busy today.. tomorrow?", it isn´t that he is complicating it, he is just lazy and uncomfortable and thinks it will all end if he skips that bit, thus incorporating his laziness into the character :D
He is nervous because he is always getting ripped by ricky and Steve he just never knows what's coming next and he hates being put outside his comfort zone (typical English person ) you should watch the ricky Gervase show hours upon hours of laughs.. there is only one karl haha
The Buckingham - Bucking - um/em is just an accent thing. The UK is bizarre when it comes to accents we have thousands of them. You can travel 2 miles and people speak in an accent so different it is almost another language. PS -- Keep going with Taskmaster. I would love to see Karl on it one day.

English people are more likely to teach you bad words and say it is a good thing or just shout lorder in English until you understand. Or as we did. Invade a country to teach them so we can start trading
As much as I love Ricky he is actually bullying Karl. I don't think he realizes it or won't admit it to himself. Over time that constant barrage can grind you down. A bit of winding your mates up is one thing, doing it for too long and taking it too far is cruel. Karl is his Whipping boy. I think that's one of the reasons Karl stopped working with Ricky.

No, Karl taught you the Northern way of saying Buckingham, "Booking-am" the way you knew it is right haha and the word i think you were looking for at the start was "tense"
I'm almost 40 and have traveled all over England in my time and have never, not once, ever, encountered a native English person, northern or southern, who pronounces it "Bucking-ham". It has always been "Buckingem" or "Buckinem".

Thanks!!
he`s from manchester so he would pronounce it bukinum. londoners would pronounce it buckinam, accents and dialects.
karl is OBSESSED with the chinese (and lungs).
Karl is a gem
he is tense and unformortable. by nature
Well, "where" and "wear" are spelled differently, but when spoken they do sound the same, so I'll give him that. xD
Two words , with Two meanings.
Love that you've got this bang on😀
Your right in haw you pronounce it .. its because of his accsent haha we have loads of accsents in the UK
In the 90s, Karl predicted the pandemic for 2020. Look up Karl Pilkington pandemic

yes wear and where spelled differently but pronounced the same, a better example would be , "i like to wear a hat" " my tyres have a lot of wear"
I think when he said where and wear, he meant the way you say it is the same.
4:52 my chinese exboyfriend actually liked using the word "rank" when heard it on tv.
Where, wear, were wolf, ware
"you shit" !!

Depends are where you’re from
British people always make fun of how Americans pronounce “ Buckingham “ lol that’s not news
Hahahaha. Yes. You actually learned something from Karl. We say "Bucking-um".
Also, don't forget, Karl is bald. He has a head like a fucking orange.
"I'm supposed to be LEARNING English, and he's just tearing it apart and taking it away!"
Well ... so not a good Yelp review, then.
He doesnt like new things and experiences, at least he didnt
