Markets of Britain, a short film by Lee Titt

Xeni Jardin 6:54 am Fri Jul 30, 2010

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.
