[ Watch video: view at YouTube or Download MP4. ] Boing Boing Video proudly presents Markets of Britain, discovered by Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz from the archives of a great and underappreciated documentary filmmaker named Lee Titt, who also never existed. Earlier this week, we presented this Boing Boing Video interview with Popper and Serafinowicz about their “Look Around You” DVD, just been released in the USA. This film was presented at a recent launch event in Los Angeles, blogged previously on Boing Boing. Mini emus! Buy the DVD. Below, a trailer for the DVD produced by BBC America. The actual show is a lot weirder….

Watch video: YouTube, or download MP4. Make sure to have your copybooks ready, you’ll want to take notes. In this episode of Boing Boing Video, the offbeat British comedy duo of Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz, creators of the BBC series “Look Around You,” speak to us on the occasion of the US DVD release for their absurdist fake-educational science program. Bonus: They are also founders of the faux religion of Tarvuism. In this very video, for the first time ever, they recite the full invocational prayer of Tarvu, meaning that just by watching, you are automatically indoctrinated as a member of the Church of Tarvu. So if octopuses (octopi? octopodes?) start chattering priestmuntyisms to you in the night, you’ve been warned. In addition to the LOL-rich endeavors they discuss in this interview, these guys are busy: there’s Popper’s long-running prank phone call and Timewaster Letter series, work on the IT Crowd, and their Radio Spirit World podcasts, Popper is writing for South Park lately. Serafinowicz has an eponymous BBC show out on DVD, and lots of movie roles in the works, including the new Yellow Submarine remake. US audiences may know Serafinowicz best as the voice of Darth Maul. We’ll be debuting a new comedy short from these guys soon on Boing Boing Video, so stay tuned.
