From the makers of 'Look Around You', this is ace
For some reason the search button wont load anything for me so if it has been here before, I apologise.
There is also this one which is potentially funnier. Well, it made me gag on my cereal.

Oh that reminds me, did anyone watch Robert Popper's new sitcom "Friday Night Dinner"?
I couldn't watch past the first ten minutes as it was so awful. Did it get better?

I gave that one a complete ignore
I watched some of that post-Inbetweeners game show thing Simon Bird did and was not amused so I tend to avoid things with him in these days.
To be honest I wasn't really impressed by the majority of Look Around You season 2 so I'm sticking to my season 1 and the IT Crowd.

Ooh, controversial.
I actually prefer season 2 of Look around you.
And think IT crowd peaked at season 2.
(mind, I am a grumpy bastard)

Ahhh,
but how could you ignore 'thanks ants, thants'
I agree with you on the IT Crowd though. Season 2 definately did it for me.

Thants- Was that not season two too?
Yeah, IT crowd's still good, but it's been a slow slide after "The work outing" which almost made a little bit of wee come out, it was so funny.

I'm wondering if the footage
is from Out of Town. The guy looks a bit like Jack Hargreaves.
I think it used to be on Sunday mornings in the late 70's / early 80's. I was ridiculously young, but got hooked on the theme music and the peacefulness of it.
Thought I'd imagined it, until the Fast Show based Bob Fleming on it.

I really enjoyed that
and that definately has to be where the footage came from.
Unfortunately, being a mid-eightees child means that I was way to young to have enjoyed that at the time but I shall spend some time watching through these.

I never saw that before
But that's ace.
Can someone please explain why we've gone from his style of presenting (quiet, informed and unhurried) to the current type of presenters (straight out of drama school and shit)?

it's a shame
the emphasis has shifted from being an expert at the subject, or at least an expert at journaling the subject (with all of the critical awareness that such a task requires), to being an expert at broadcasting and being comfortable in front of a camera.
Jack Hargreaves also created How!, and was one of the founders of ITV.

I absolutely agree
It has such a charming warmth, it's something I rather like about Brian Cox's approach to presenting, it's not much more than banter.

It's a brilliant recreation
But once you've seen "Telly Savals Looks At Birmingham", you realise this kind of thing is near impossible to parody
