What is water? It’s a difficult question to answer, because water is impossible to describe. One may say the same of birds.
What are birds? We just don’t know.
Is that Olivia Colman?
Yup! Next to Peter Serafinowicz. I think that’s Josie D’arby and Robert something (a comedy actor).
Robert Popper
If it’s funny and British, she’s in it.
Thanks ants. Thants
Thanks Hanks. Thanks
Write that down in your copybook now
Brilliant series
The first series was so much better than this one though.
The… first?
I think you might be confused because in Britain, ‘seasons’ are called ‘series.’ So the first series of Look Around You was better. It was also totally different, so ‘series’ almost works both ways.

Look Around You
Thank you for being the first one to say the name of the show.
I don’t know the show, but I know that’s an original Commodore PET computer with arguably the WORST keyboard in mass market computing history.

Blister-key PCjr and the Timex-Sinclair 1000.
Is it bad that I want one of those? It is so weird!
So you’re not a fan of ortho keyboards?
Wow, yeah, decisions were made… that is technically a keyboard.
That’s pretty rough in a lot of ways, but man would that make ASCII box-drawing easier.
it really does! This was the case with the grandchild of the Commodore Pet, the very popular Commodore 64. Check out all the extra characters on the SIDES of the keys:
So many ASCII sprites baked right into the hardware and OS.
VIC20 too! That was my first, 64 next.
Imhotep is invisible.

Is this streaming anywhere? I miss it so.
It’s on BBC iplayer at the mo
There are a few partial episodes and clips on YouTube, but I’ve never been able to find the whole thing anywhere.
Available on BBC iPlayer in the UK. Very funny parody of educational TV shows. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00bt6f2
I love this show. I have weird memories of watching it late at night long ago.
I’m the fucking lizard king
