Synopsis:

Taking inspiration from the golden era of late Seventies and early Eighties television, Look Around You looks at the very latest developments in science and technology in one of the most consistently funny parodies you're ever likely to see. This brilliantly original second series has the same well-observed hilarious brand of humour as the first BAFTA nominated series and is presented by the very talented Jack Morgan (Robert Popper), Peter Packard (Peter Serafinowicz), Pam Bachelor (Olivia Colman) and Pealy Maghti (Josie D'Arby). In a blaze of 1980's big hair, sideburns, ra-ra skirts and jumpsuits, this series also features cameos from some of the UK's finest comedy performers including Harry Enfield, Matt Lucas, Simon Pegg and Sarah Alexander. Each episode the team considers the future of music, health, sport, music, food and computers - much as they did in the original 'Tomorrow's World' series. Each week they are joined by guests, inventors and science specialists, looking at different inventions and testing out the latest technology. The series culminates in a live final of the 'Look Around You Invention Of The Year Award' presented by HRH Sir Prince Charles. But with an excited live studio audience, a nervous group of contestants and one rather difficult and unpredictable guest, can the Look Around You team manage to keep everything going alright on the night?

Wherever you are, whatever you do, Look Around You. Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz write and star in the second series of their wickedly funny comedy show, Look Around You. This time the format of the series closely resembles Tomorrow's World from the late '70s to the early '80s; with the chaps flanked by the lovely Olivia Colman and Josie D'Arby as co-presenters. Each episode of Look Around You features an important new invention, and its - mental or highly deluded - inventor. From the aptly named Leonard Hatred and his Psilence ear spray, to Sam Macnamara and Pat Taylor with their sex-change machine, the inventions are utterly insane and often lead to incidents in the studio - just ask good ol' Jack "Jackie" Morgan! Don't forget the assortment of madcap guests including: Tchaikovsky's ghost (played by Harry Enfield); Dr. Franklin Fu; The mischievous supercomputer Bournemouth, along with his creator Computer Jones; and most importantly, HRH Sir Prince Charles - to announce the winner of the 'Invention of the year' competition! Just one thing, if Mr. Simon Teigh, winner of week five's invention, is reading this synopsis, please contact the Look Around You team immediately!
