LOOKS UNFAMILIAR CHRISTMAS EXTRA: "IT'S LIKE A CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE OF NEWS"

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 for a special Christmas edition is podcaster Phil Catterall, who’s singing hosanna at the festive headlines from the Christmas Specials of BBC radio comedy shows On The Hour, The Chris Morris Music Show and Lee And Herring. Along the way we'll be learning how to accurately pronounce 'BBC7', discussing how to defend yourself from a bear armed only with a book about Week Ending, testing Phil's On The Hour Karaoke skills, and lamenting the tragic fate of the Breakaway theme music. Also, if you're taking part in 'Whigageddon', you might want to have a think before listening to this...

LOOKS UNFAMILIAR THE LARKS ASCENDING EXTRA: "YOU CAN'T EXACTLY WASH THE DISHES TO YOU SUFFER BY NAPALM DEATH"

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 time Tim's the guest, talking to Garreth F. Hirons about some lesser heard examples of comedy on BBC Radio 3 including the infamous 'Piotr Zak' hoax, David Renwick and Andrew Marshall's academic broadcasting sendup The Half-Open University, left-wing theatre troupe sitcom Blood And Bruises, The National Theatre Of Brent's 'History of mankind from the first amoeba to the Second World War' All The World's A Globe, Chris Morris chatting to Peter Cook in Why Bother?, and Armando Iannucci's talk on how to Use Your Ears. Along the way we'll also be appreciating some quality drumming, starting a Mexican Wave with Dr. Hans Keller, and definitely not enrolling on Professor Alan Alanson's Magic Brain Programme (Guaranteed Not To Work!).
