Talk:Look Around You

message: It would be good to include reference to whom the presenters are parodying in series 2, if it can be worked out. The format is overwhelmingly Tomorrow's Worldian but the presenters are quite Blue Peter, it seems to me. That Pamela Bachelor represents Valerie Singleton is beyond doubt in my mind. Peter Packard must be at least partly Peter Purves with elements of James Burke in evidence. Pealy definitely reminds me of someone - who was it?
Thanks!

replies: text: Pam Bachelor is clearly based on Judith Hann ! Also, the second series has elements of The Computer Programme to it - particularly the beige set. 84.68.19.201 14:33, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I've created a Wikiquote page for Look Around You, here, but since I've only seen Series One (and that was a while ago), it's missing anything from Series 2, and I think many of the Series 1 quotes may be wrong. Could someone who has seen Series 2 perhaps add these to the list? smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 14:15, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was going to add some from Series 2, but i couldnt find many good quotes as there are in Series 1. Series 2 has more sight gags really. I'll add a couple though for now. And some more from Series 1 if i watch the dvd again soon. -- jeffthejiff (talk) 18:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

message: There has been a recurring internet thing where some of the more realistic Look Around You videos have been passed off as genuine videos from yesteryear. I don't know if it is worth mentioning, but it has been happening quite a lot, particularly people uploading it to youtube with comments disabled to improve the illusion that it is in fact genuine JayKeaton 22:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: there's a comcast commercial (maybe more than one) that has a very similar format to the look around you videos, with a very similar narrator voice and the background music. worth looking into? --71.234.251.108 00:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: "Helvetica Scenario" redirects here, but there's nothing on this page about it.  Could someone add a bit about that?  (I hate it when people do blind redirects to pages that don't have any information about the redirected term.) 76.102.100.52 07:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any value mentioning there was a panel on the show at the 2010 Comic Con, evidently to promote the DVD being released in the U.S.? Serafinowicz and Popper even premiered a new comedy short, Markets of Britain. Dgabbard (talk) 20:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Maybe it's just me, but I can't tell if the videos themselves are real. Are the videos really educational videos that have been dubbed over by "Look Around You" or is everything original? I can't possibly be the only one confused about this. Occamsrazorwit (talk) 19:55, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: By that logic there clearly shouldn't be an article about the series in the first place, since it's all a parody. There's nothing wrong with quoting information like the unseen episodes, as long as it as relevant and correct. It's relevant since it's a feature of the show, and it's correct since it's explained above the list that those are bogus episodes referred to in the end of each episode.

thread_title:  Unseen Episodes 

message: The commentary to the DVD releases of this series plainly state that the show is set in 1980-1981 - topical references to the Prince of Wales Awards and the "Yellow Pearl" "Top of the Pops" theme tune are included In the shows, both debuting in the early 1980s. The article here originally stated the true facts but was changed in 2016 by a user with I.P. address 86.135.235.2 - without explanation.
