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?

I have just notice how this page has expanded, and think that it does Look Around You justice. Thank You and Well Done to the person or people that did this.
Thanks people; Theople

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? smurrayinch ester( User), ( Talk) 14:15, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
The explanation given for Hot Jon is incorrect. I was an extra in the crowd during the filming in October 2004, and I heard exactly what Hot Jon means. It could actually mean one of 4 slightly different things since 4 takes of this scene were done, however none of these 4 takes involves an official trip to the far east.
Any chance you'd care to share these with us? Zetetic Apparatchik 18:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
(in Series 2) "There is also an Easter Egg". Well ... tell us what it is, then! 87.112.65.16 19:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
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)
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)
"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)
This was in Episode 5 - Computers. I've moved the entry from Episode 1 but forgot to put the reason.

In series two, episodes 3 & 4, there are a few references to other shows certain actors have appeared in, or their relationships to core cast members, to the point where it strays into pretty random trivia (do we really need to know that one small role was played by someone who also had a small role in Shaun of the Dead?) - I'm proposing that these connections be removed, as IMO they don't add anything to the article and they're distracting. Does anyone have a compelling argument against this? Dom Kaos ( talk) 02:18, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
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)
Who is the third guy in the "Little Mouse" video? The one in the striped sweater is clearly Peter, but I don't recognize the third one, in the patterned dress shirt. Photo on BBC's website here. 75.187.156.216 ( talk) 04:11, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
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)
Everything was made to look old. There might be stock footage of locations, but none of the experiments were dubbed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.170.48 ( talk) 09:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

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.

The articles notes that the listed order for season 2 is not the intended order, but does not clarify what the intended order is. Can this be added? Aquillyne ( talk) 19:19, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
