Look Around You and Tim Kirkby back on BBC 2 and back to the future

Taking inspiration from the golden era of late Seventies and early Eighties television, and in particular BBC's Tomorrow's World, the new comedy series Look Around You looks at the very latest developments in science and technology - from the computer made especially for women (with scented keyboard) to the horse race predicting machine (designed by a horse).
Shot, by Godman commercials director, Tim Kirkby with the same particular brand of humour as the first series - and presented with aplomb by the very talented Peter Packard, Jack Morgan, Pam Bachelor and Pealy Maghti - the enthusiastic team of presenters offers an insight into what life might be like in the year 2000 in the worlds of sport, health, music, food and computers.
The Look Around You team is joined in the studio by regular guests, inventors and science specialists - from the man who loves synthesisers so much that he changed his name to… Synthesiser Patel, to the Ghost of Tchaikovsky who judges the Look Around You Music 2000 competition, a search for the music the public will be listening to in the year 2000.
The BAFTA nominated series features cameos from the UK's finest comedy performers including Harry Enfield, Mark Heap, Matt Lucas, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Sarah Alexander and Kevin Eldon.
The first of six episodes is scheduled to air on January 31 at 10.00 pm on BBC 2.
