THE BEST OF LOOKS UNFAMILIAR 03 - MORPH'S BBC FAKERY

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 from shows thirteen to eighteen, featuring Will Maclean on Once Upon A Time… Man, Una McCormack on Screw-Top Virgin Marys, Rae Earl on Codename Icarus, Jacqueline Rayner on Pippa Dolls, Samira Ahmed on Nurdin & Peacock Own Brand Cola, and Steve Berry on school hymn book Morning Has Broken. Along the way we’ll be finding out why you can’t hide a pierced ear from Jesus, just how far you can balance a hymn book on the edge of a church balcony, what measures to take when a runaway horse smashes into a bathroom factory, and what precautions you should take whilst within twelve thousand square feet of anywhere that may or may not have played host to agricultural pesticide at some indeterminate point in history. Plus there’s also something you may not have heard before – Tim on the radio talking about Georgie Fame’s long-forgotten theme from The Amazing Adventures Of Morph

017 - JACQUELINE RAYNER - SHE WENT TO THE BALL IN A HORSE-DRAWN BATH

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 Jacqueline Rayner, who's heading to the top of the department store on a mission to find out if anyone else shares her recollections of Tommy Steele's ITV panto Quincy's Quest, lurid soft drink Quosh Tropical, comedy battle game Klonks, Bernie Clifton's comedy character El Bandido, Pippa Dolls and Honey Bear Spread. Along the way we'll be finding out how to tell if Morecambe And Wise are coming to murder you, the best adventure Doctor Who never had, what measures to take when a runaway horse smashes into a bathroom factory, and why you should avoid German Smarties at all costs. Plus if you can tell us the name of Jac's mystery scary children's programme, or alternately who said 'bastards' on Radio 4, please let us know...!
