Look Around You - Season 1 DVD Officially Announced: Date, Cost, Extras, Packaging

Look Around You is the BAFTA-nominated comedy series based on the unforgettable Open University and Television for Schools programs of the1970s. Through a series of gloriously deadpan experiments, we observe a colony of ants build an igloo, receive a telephone call from abrain, discover why ghosts can't whistle, and reveal the largest number in the world. Science has never been so silly.

Last October we passed along word from various of the cast, all posting on Twitter, that the BBC's Look Around You - Season 1 was in the works for DVD release in 2010, complete with extras. Today the BBC and distributor Warner Home Video formally announced the title, giving a release date of July 20th.
