Look around you: Calcium



Look Around You was a short-lived BBC Two programme (their spelling) that spoofed the educational films of earlier years.To me the series is reminiscent of things I saw on PBS in the 80's. I'm guessing other folks will recognize the tone from other decades as well. Fifteen episodes in total were created, all of which make various appearances on YouTube from time to time. All of them contain material that touches upon material science topics in fanciful ways.

Be warned that the Look Around You information is far from accurate and should be taken with a massive grain of salt. There are also a few scenes that maybe aren't quite appropriate for younger audiences. They're not vulgar or anything, just a little odd and adultish.

Oh, and be warned that the humor is very British.
