Editorial Reviews

Look Around You is the BAFTA-nominated comedy series based on the unforgettable Open University and Television for Schools programs of the1970s. Through a series of gloriously deadpan experiments, we observe a colony of ants build an igloo, receive a telephone call from abrain, discover why ghosts can't whistle, and reveal the largest number in the world. Science has never been so silly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Completely Unique Hilarity, July 20, 2010

This review is from: Look Around You: Season One (DVD)

Look Around You is one of the most criminally overlooked works of this millennium. How anything this funny could escape international acclaim at near-obnoxious levels is beyond me. This is absurdist comedy at its best, as if Monty Python and Mr. Wizard had a baby, who was maybe dropped on its head. Though the 8 episodes are only 10 minutes long, there are plentiful special features which make this worth your money. Please, please, please buy this. You'll be happier for having seen it, and we'll all be one step closer to season two's DVD release.

This review is from: Look Around You Series 1 [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2.4 Import - United Kingdom ] (DVD)

Too hilarious. If you do not enjoy smiling, then I wouldn't recommend this...otherwise, for the rest of us, this is quite possibly one of the funniest series I've personally ever experienced. Real, quality British humor. Great, just great.
One thing though, your dvd player has to have the proper regional encoding or you'll have some problems watching it.
Arrived in great shape, exactly as described.
Definitely recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest shows I've ever seen, July 20, 2010

This review is from: Look Around You: Season One (DVD)

What more can I say? This show had me doubled with laughter every minute. From the confusing to the ever-so-slightly dangerously insane, Look Around You presents a very unique genre of comedy in the disguise of a perfectly factual 1970's "Science for Schools" programme. Having been exposed to such boring stuff at school (in the 90's) when these outdated shows often contained lines such as "Perhaps one day we will have electicity in our own homes!" Look Around You provided an utterly brilliant parody. I would recommend this to absolutely anyone. If you buy nothing else this year, buy this. Then next year you can save up for Look Around You 2!!
