Look Around You (2002)

If you remember the cart being wheeled into class for a schools program, this will feel like a memory going wrong. Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz recreated early 1980s educational films down to the droning synth, the sinister calm narration and the faded color, then filled them with nonsense science delivered with total authority. The first series is eight ten-minute shorts; the second switches to half-hour episodes in the style of Tomorrow's World. Start with the shorts, which are the purer imitation.
