084 - BEN BAKER - HISTORICAL SITCOM MAN

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.

Joining Tim this time is writer and broadcaster Ben Baker, who's putting a big circle round the listings in TV Times so he doesn't miss Mr. T's Christmas Dream, Kid Creole And The Coconuts musical There's Something Wrong In Paradise, Adam Buxton's Christian Rave documentary God In The House, Christian Metal tour movie To Hell With The DevilHighwayThe Flint Street Nativity, the 1990 Bullseye Christmas Special, Adam And Joe's Fourmative Years and - uh oh - TFI 1998. Along the way we'll be discussing whether Jesus could have improved This Life +10, setting the video for Michael Moore's TV Mayhem and Paul Shane Infinity War, questioning what would happen if an edition of Bullseye simply refused to stop, and studiously avoiding going to see One Love In The Sky - A Stone Roses Musical.
