Look Around You is a BBC television comedy series devised and written by Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz, and, in the first series only, narrated by Nigel Lambert. The first series of eight 10-minute shorts was shown in 2002, and the second series of six 30-minute episodes in 2005, both on BBC2.
The first series was broadcast on BBC America in early 2005, with a slightly edited version of the second series airing in March 2006. The first series of Look Around You was nominated for a BAFTA award in 2003.
Although a third series has been ruled out, Robert Popper has stated that they will do another project together, saying: "Sad news is we are not making a third series of Look Around You, but hope to make a new series of something else silly some time". http://www.noisetosignal.org/tv/2005/10/look-around-you-erm-lou.php
The first (2002) series was a parody of the patronising 1970s "For Schools and Colleges" programmes, especially ITV's series "Experiment". The second (2005) series was a parody of "Tomorrow's World" (1965).
