Do any Brits remember the name of this travel show hosted by a British comedian?

[KostasKouvalis]

In each episode he was in a different country mostly in Europe, and the premise was mainly showing bizarre cultural practices.

In Italy, he visited a town where men do women's work, and he showed a guy who interrupts live TV broadcasts to promote condoms because his friend died of AIDS

In France, he visited a cult devoted to the Lentil (I think it was the lentil)

In Germany, he attended a Chess Boxing match

And in India he visited a group of naked holy men who were wrapping their dicks around sticks and having other holy men stand on them

This show ring a bell to anyone?
