Giles Wemmbley-Hogg! Two M's, two G's, from Budleigh-Salterton!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Intrepid world-traveller, audio diarist, and upper-class twit documents his adventures around the globe. His enthusiasm is matched only by his naivety; he is well-meaning, but is definitely treated like the butt-monkey by those around him.Played by Marcus Brigstocke, based on a character he did doing stand-up comedy, written by Brigstocke, Jeremy Salsby, and Graeme Garden, and first broadcast on BBC Radio 2002-2011. |

Butt-Monkey: Giles is well meaning, but hamfisted, and is treated as a buffoon by other characters. |

Bait-and-Switch: His trip to India episode starts with Giles at a market, lots of Indian voices calling out, Indian music playing, only to reveal he's in Birmingham, before he leaves England. |

Comically Missing the Point: While in Thailand, he gets lost, only to find himself in the middle of a (very illegal) hemp plantation. |
