The new series of Look around you starts monday 31st January at 10PM on BBC2. Co-written and co-produced by Peter Serafinowicz, it takes inspiration from the golden era of late Seventies and early Eighties television, and in particular BBC's Tomorrow's World, the new comedy series Look Around You looks at the very latest developments in science and technology - from the computer made especially for women (with scented keyboard) to the horse race predicting machine (designed by a horse).
Shot with the same particular brand of humour as the first series - and presented with aplomb by the very talented Peter Packard, Jack Morgan, Pam Bachelor and Pealy Maghti - the enthusiastic team of presenters offers an insight into what life might be like in the year 2000 in the worlds of music, health, sport, music, food and computers.
Cameos in the upcoming series include Spaced's Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Mark Heap and Edgar Wright.

NICHOLAS J. FROST

I'm sold, now WHAT EPISODE!?

he plays the bbc 2 ident, so he is in all of them.


look at his curves... LOOK AT THEM!!!!!!









that was a very eloquent press release from the bbc, i think - showing as much imaginatin as the show itself!

The rest of the press release is HERE Great site for finding information on upcoming and new BBC shows. Certainly worth a look

god i love this show.

i cant wait to see the next series over the pond here

Here is a picture of Mark Heap

did any1 see simon pegg on it doin the electric tooth brush advert

this is a good show, but series one is alot better.

It's been a bit hit & miss. I didn't see the first series when it was on the tellybox but went and bought the dvd when i heard people talking about it.

Series one is better but I love some of the bits in series two, especially the man with cobbles and Gonnis

Far be it from me to question the powers that be, but I did start a thread on this very topic at least a few days before you did, Downsy...

Paul Putner appeared on look around you last night and it was really funny. It was a bout the world of fast food and how he planned to make the first fast food caserol diner.

I loved the bit when Peter says "but there was no grand opening because he sadly died from a wasp sting to the anus".

WHERE IS NICHOLAS!?

Gods, you're a shit stalker.

Yeah, I know. What with the giant body of water and all.

WILL SOMEONE LOOK ON CAST WATCH
IN THE LOOK AROUND YOU THREAD

and tell me if thats dylan??? IM GOING MAD!

Christ's sake woman, calm down.

It might be. Looks like him in the first picture, less like him in the second.

*calms*

I agree it does on one and not on t'other...curious!

Je suis TRES stupide

I missed it.

There, I said it (My psyhcotherapist told me to be more forethcoming in my interactions with humans - thinking back to the beating I received from a biker I'm suing her (and I quote "I'm sorry, but don't yous enjoy Garth Brooks music? and what the fuck is the deal with the bandanas? Sweat rags or Male Pattern Baldness conceilers?!")


Or indeed is it still on and I can catch the tail end*
When are there any repeats on BBC?

*which is what my uncle does for movies; we're sitting there watching Temrinator 3 and the downer of an ending then he comes in says "oh...bombs" and walks out. This happens for most films we ever watch. I supose it saves all the melodramatic "don't die Lucy! The laundromat won't be the same without you!" moments and you cut to the meat of the story.

PS I also hate David Bedingfield

that#s a bit harsh - we know nick is probably carrying a little bit of excess festive weight, but...

w-w-w-what?

I think he's trying to imply that Mr. Frost's a bit of a tubby bitch...

Oh ok, for a minute there I was worried. Sorta.

Or pregnant maybe...

Right, whoever's responsible raise your hand.

If they were responsible then Nick Frost wouldn't be pregnant.

Or literally made entirely of water...

i think i caught some of this show while on holiday recently in st. ives... i recall looking up rather stoned and hearing something along the lines of "...was unable to comment today after swallowing a pin"
its at that point i clutched my chest. id hate to swallow a pin.

Did anyone see Edgar Wright as a technician I sure know I did.

Yes and they're talking about it here

I've been pretty disapointed actually. It hasn't been a patch on the first series... although, fair play, there have been some good moments. Last weeks 'computer episode' was decent enough - there have just been very few moments which have been 'laugh out loud' - and a little too much sillyness.

Enjoyable enough to watch though, so I'm not complaining.

Really been enjoying Nathan Barley though

Nick Frost made a quick appearance in the final episode as the man with the HOT JON sign.

The final was very funny but Mark Heap who played Leonard Hatred was the best especially when he told them to F**k off!

Mark Heap was brilliant in this, i was hoping there'd be a twist to his character.


i'm new by the way, hi. I'm rob.

big fan of good comedy.

No pun intended.

I loved the explanation of the HOT JON sign. Excellent comedy.
Nick plays the weirdo in a crowd very well.

Ill lower my head in shame and say that i have never seen series 1 but i caught every episode of series 2 which was brilliant. Sometimes laugh out loud brilliant. My Tuesdays are going to suck now that i cant come in and quote the show a hundred times at work

The final was excellent, Mark Heap seriously stole the show and also loved loved the HOT JON gag! GENIUS!

The bird program was funny, and the pic of the bear & skeleton that re-appeared upside down. Seriously great comedy! Which really now ends up with me having to go out and buy series 1 now really.

who done the voice over for the bird programme i couldnt quite make out if it was peter or simon ? or just someone else

Last night's episode was brilliant, it made me laugh out loud.

So how did they do the Sir Prince Charles bit?


Thanks Hanks.... Thanks.

I reckon it was a look a like he was good though. especially funny when Leonard Hatred skinned up his face!

That last episode was great.

And then Prince Charles became a 'Sapphire and Steel' villain. AAAAAAHHHH!





Will

I knew Markl Heap in school and he was apaedophilem, I think it was him anyway, he seemed liek one, and now he plays charcaters, that paedophiles would hate

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Somebody take a look at this guy and tell me there is a god

The whole series was poor up until the live episode where it came together, pitt the other 5 werent as funny

I had a very strange dream about Pam Batchelor.

If anyone hasn't seen the first series i suggest getting the dvd. I bought it in interest and thought it much better than series two, especially little mouse. Whio thinks they should release it?

Bless you ants... Blants.
