In 2002 the critically acclaimed Look Around You, a series of 10-minute 70s school science video spoofs, debuted on BBC2 in which Serafinowicz played a scientist. He co-wrote the show alongside Robert Popper, whom he met on the set of Spaced. The show returned in 2005 as a spoof of the 1980s show Tomorrow’s World, with Serafinowicz playing Peter Packard, one of the presenters.

Between these two series Peter made time for some more television appearances and also a feature-film cameo in British rom-zom-com Shaun of the Dead playing Pete, Shaun and Ed’s angry flatmate.

Serafinowicz pretended to be Terry Wogan in a 2003 Comic Relief spoof of Blankety Blank, which led to Wogan inviting Serafinowicz on occasion to appear on Wogan’s Radio 2 breakfast programme as a guest (including an appearance during the final week of Wake Up to Wogan) and showcase said Wogan impersonation.

In the week before the 2006 Academy Awards a video circulated on the Internet called “O! News” about a newly redesigned Oscar statue, in which Serafinowicz shared his impersonations of Alan Alda, Paul McCartney and Al Pacino. A second ‘O! News’ video later appeared, parodying the 2006 Apple Corps v. Apple Computer lawsuit. This piqued the interest of the BBC, and a pilot was commissioned for The Peter Serafinowicz Show.

A full series was broadcast on BBC Two in 2007 (with a Christmas Special in 2008). For his performance, Serafinowicz was presented with the Best Entertainer prize at the 2008 Rose d’Or ceremony. The series was also nominated for Best Comedy Programme at the 2009 BAFTA Television Awards.

In 2010 Serafinowicz directed the music video for Hot Chip’s video I Feel Better, their second single from the album One Life Stand. ...more
