090 - HILARY MACHELL - IF YOU'RE REALLY LUCKY YOU MIGHT GET SOME MARVEL AFTERSHAVE

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 Hilary Machell, who’s searching for anyone with the same name as her who remembers Noah And Nelly In SkylArk, Wombles T-Shirts, Enamel Bedroom Door Nameplates, the correct spelling of 'Kerb', Children's ITV magazine show CBTV and the mysterious and sinister disappearance of rissoles and corresponding rise of quiche. Along the way we'll be celebrating those much-loved children's television favourites The Selbmow, sending off for The Funny Richard Nixon Buzzer ('you never know when it'll do Watergate next!'), hitting the town in Mickey Mouse t-shirts with lenticular eyes and assessing the financial viability of Postal Quiche.

054 - GARY BAINBRIDGE - THERE MUST BE SOME KID GETTING A HUNDRED AND FIFTY GRAND

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.
