087 - GABBY HUTCHINSON CROUCH - I ATE MY NECKLACE, IT WAS TOO TASTY

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 author Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, who’s scouring the tiny goth shops for any traces of Mr. Men Songs, Monkey Dust, the unmade final episode of Dungeons And Dragons, TimeSplitters 2, They Might Be Giants’ Friday Night Family Podcast and Hard Candy Nail Polish. Along the way we’ll be scientifically evaluating the Mr. Tickle Event Horizon, debating the different between Undercoat Green and Toxic Crusader Green, and explaining why all Reply Guys should be required by law to wear nail polish.

THE BEST OF LOOKS UNFAMILIAR - WHAT WERE THEY COPYING IN THAT - GOONREEL?

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.

This is a collection of highlights featuring Joel Morris on the View-Master Demonstration Reel, Joanne Sheppard on Colorado Beetle panic, Emma Burnell on the stage musical version of Dirty Dancing, Samira Ahmed on The Fun Food Factory, Jonny Morris on Battlestar Galactica action figures, Matt Lee on They Might Be Giants' 'Dial-A-Song' service, Shanine Salmon on Neopets and Anna Cale on Diana Dors' Dors' Dozen. Along the way we’ll be nominating our suggestions for the View-Master Netflix Universe, revealing how to spot a supervillain transporting a ‘formula’, learning about the influence a giant floating image of Patrick Swayze had on the civil rights movement, considering whether it's possible for Dirty Dancing to have too much dancing in it, revealing how not to wow the opposite sex by listening to the b-side of Birdhouse In Your Soul and debating just how many hours of airtime Graham Norton devoted to a robot dog walking very very slowly across the studio floor. Plus there’s something you may not have heard before – Tim on Goon Pod talking to Tyler Adams about Peter And Sophia by Peter Sellers And Sophia Loren.

074 - MATT LEE - IF THE 1950S PRODUCED A VIDEOGAME THIS WOULD BE IT

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 director Matt Lee, who's rifling through lines of code in search of ITV comedy pilot Wake Up! With Libby And Jonathan, Cheers-prefiguring sitcom Park St. Under, ideologically dubious computer game Terramex, They Might Be Giants' 'Dial-A-Song' service, Cola Spread and an attempted regional ban on Garbage Pail Kids. Along the way we'll be critically evaluating Leslie Grantham's 'shocked' face, revealing how not to wow the opposite sex by listening to the b-side of Birdhouse In Your Soul, and recalling some favourite quotations from Beer: A Book by George Wendt.
