Boing Boing proudly presents “Markets of Britain,” a documentary discovered by Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz from the archives of a great and underappreciated British filmmaker named Lee Titt, who also never existed.

To celebrate the launch of Look Around You on US DVD we present a new edit commissioned by BBC AMERICA.

Make sure you’re watching BBC 1 on Friday at 10:35pm. Or at least have your Tivo running – Mr S will be appearing on Would I Lie To You and is sure to be filled with dirty language and cutting humour.

As the Beeb are keen to tell us – Rob Brydon returns to the host’s chair for the fourth series of the comedy panel show, with lightning-quick team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack. David Mitchell is joined by Ruth Jones and Jason Manford, while Lee Mack is joined by Jack Dee and Peter Serafinowicz.

More details here including iPlayer stream when available.

Ahead of their Q&A panel at the San-Diego Comic-Con, Peter and Robert made an appearance at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles to talk about Look Around you and it’s release on DVD in the United States.

Boing Boing supremista Xeni Jardin was in attendance and you can read her write-up of the evening here.

Did you hear the one about the guy in the wheelchair?

It’s not a joke.

But he’s really funny, and he’s got fans around the world laughing with him.

“I have something called cerebral palsy,” Zach Anner says in a three-minute video now seen by millions of people, “which I believe is the sexiest of the palsies.”

Anner, 25, who grew up in Kenmore eating beef on ‘weck from Andersons and now lives in Austin, Texas, is poised to make the final round of an online contest sponsored by Oprah Winfrey to find the next big TV star.
