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 actor Darrell Maclaine, who's hoping to make it through to the Gold Run with his memories of Luv'd Up by mid-nineties chart hopefuls Crush, PG Tips' Trev And Simon giveaway cassette, Blockbusters bubble gum, Learn With Sooty: Be Safe, Find Out More magazine, and Spike Milligan's cameo in Steps Into Summer. Along the way we'll be revealing Phil Redmond's secret superhero ability, explaining how the 'Hand Jive' era of Blockbusters was entirely illicitly funded by holes in grandparents' pockets, revisiting Peter Skellern's 'Lurpak Years', anticipating Mark Kermode's L.A. 7 documentary, and looking at what happened when Thames went to Thames at the end. And keep an eye out for this edition's 'Big Bad'...

Alternately, if you're just feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee here. I'm not going to try and convince you that there was an official tie-in Bob Holness Raise The Roof coffee. Unless that would actually help to convince you.
