Phil's Top 14 Comedy Series - Part Five

10. Look Around You

Look Around You was a show I originally never set out to watch but happened to turn on in the middle of and immediately fell in love with.

Though the first series is arguably better than the second, both are pitch-perfect parodies of their targets. The first, a collection of 10-minute spoofs of educational videos, spawned some cracking catchphrases such as 'thanks ant, thants' and 'write that down', plus full of visual and surreal jokes.

The second series, six 'Tomorrow's World'-esque programmes, also included lots of surreal and hilarious highights even if it mis-fired in parts with its humour, but when you consider the scariest image in the world, the technological marvel that is Prince Charles' visit to the studios then you remember how good it was.
