LOOKS UNFAMILIAR SPOOKY - JOANNE SHEPPARD - EVERYONE KNOWS THAT'S HOW HANDS WORK

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 for a suitably spooky chat is book reviewer Joanne Sheppard, who's braving the walk home from Brownies and all the witches she can't leave the house without tripping over to tell the world about Dramarama: The Exorcism Of Amy, Children's BBC Ghost Story slot Spine Chillers, Blue Peter's Witch Puppet Make, Monsters Of The Movies by Denis Gifford, Nothing To Be Afraid Of by Jan Mark, Paperhouse, Dekker Toys' Movie/TV Horror Make-Up Kit and Remus Playkits Identispook, plus there's an extra bit of chat with Tim about that time that Josie And The Pussycats were possessed by a vengance demon. Along the way we'll be leafing through M.R. James' Whistle And I'll Be Some Stairs, debating the plural of 'A Ghost Story For Chirstmas', witnessing a rare sighting of the Blue Peter Haunted Galleon, remembering that time Magnus Magnusson picked a fight with TV 'Clown' and calling the selection process for 'King Of The Gorillas' into question.

038 - GILLIAN KIRBY - WHAT'S NOT WORK SAFE ABOUT SICK WORMS?

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 juggler Gillian Kirby, who doesn't want your money honey but does want your memories of an unidentified episode of Dramarama about two youngsters trying to walk around the perimeter of England via the coast, late-night adult text service Teletext After Hours, misunderstanding references in Transvision Vamp lyrics, Lava Lamp-esque soft drink Orbitz, pre-Starbucks chain Seattle Coffee Company, early social media site bolt.com and the S.T.A.R.S. novels by Hunter Davies. Along the way we’ll be finding out how much vomiting was involved in the average episode of Children's Ward, shouting sexist heckles at the male members of The Mock Turtles, saying a big hello to Fourth Bloke From Transvision Vamp, and exploring the little-known friendship between Kate Middleton and Honey Monster (Puffs). Whether this has any bearing on Gillian's suggestion for the new National Anthem, we're not saying...
