UK comedy show with a heavily retro feel and delving into science, maths, inventions etc. Made me laugh every episode, just found it on YouTube.

look around you is brilliant! the bbc website has games and information on the program - http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/lookaroundyou/

eight ladies go to eight shops at eight o'clock in the morning. each lady wants to buy eight spiders. for each spider, eight spider shoes must also be bought. but they only have eight pounds between them. with each spider costing eight pence and each spider shoe costing an eighth pence each, will the ladies have enough change for the bus ride home? a journey costing eight pence per stop and made up of eight stops...x

I can't believe you guys hadn't seen this yet! I thought for sure there already was a topic about it here, too...

oh well

Sorry, I didn't even check first ... naughty naughty.

Been a while since I've seen it so when it popped up on YouTube I thought I'd share seeing as it's all yesteryear retro and scientifical magicalicious and stuff

Hahaha,
babies cry because they can see into the future. They can see such things as "Osama bin Laden" and the invention of "the Internet"... whatever those are!

I love this program it's ace. The extras on the DVD for series 2 are quality aswell, especially the Teletext and the alternative version of the scene where Medibot performs his operation as seen here:

Hilarious!

Babies cry because they are constantly tripping. In fact, that's also why they laugh so much.

I vividly remember the day I was born, being wheeled out of the hospital room in a warm, comfy surrounding enclosure (what I now know as a crib) and seeing amazing patterns of lines floating above me in sequence (what I know know as simple square ceiling tiles).
