Look Around You [0] is little known even in the UK, but I think a lot of HN readers might love it. It's a surreal but perfectly observed parody of the 80s/90s educational videos we used to watch in school science classes.

It's more based on Open University programs made for showing in schools. But Tomorrow's World is a similar ilk.


That's the first series, the second series [1] is a parody of TW.
