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 Gary Bainbridge, who’s doing his best to revisit without actually revisiting Screen Two: Coast To Coast, Radio City’s Jack Your Body parody Deadly Boring, cash-in superhero movie Supersonic Man, Audisee’s book-and-tape presentation of The War Of The Worlds, Buddy Comic strip Limp-Along Leslie, That Look In Your Eye by Ali Campbell featuring Pamela Starks, the Ace Reports Annual 1981, and Unbranded Soluble Cola Tablets. Along the way – when not otherwise occupied with reminiscing about dodgy cinemas and only marginally less dodgy Serafinowicz-frequented ‘alternative’ clubs – we’ll be wondering what local radio’s obsession with records with ‘Of The’ in the title was all about, listening to Peabo Bryson’s most challenging duet, and assessing the financial viability of setting yourself up as a Those Spidery Octopus Things That Rolled Down Windows influencer.
