A deadpan, absurdist sketch comedy that parodies educational television through surreal non-sequiturs and deliberately meaningless logic.

LOOK AROUND YOU. Look around you. Just look around you. What do you see? A tree. A weather-vane. A discarded lollipop-wrapper. A traffic shop. All of these things, and any other things you may care to mention, have one thing in common. Can you work out what it is?
