100 - BECKY DARKE - IT'S NOT ONE OF THOSE MR. FROSTY SITUATIONS

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 Becky Darke, who’s trying to send messages from the nostalgia equivalent of the beyond to Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors, Tubby Turtle, Jim Henson's The Tale Of The Bunny Picnic, In The Garden Of Bad Things by Doug MacLeod, Bucky O'Hare and the Secret bar. Along the way we'll be assessing which bath toys are most suitable for hand to hand combat, examining the physics underpinning Cadbury's Spira, estimating how much money you can get on eBay for a decades-old combination of Matey, mud and jam, and questioning why parents apparently immediately lose the capacity to understand the syntax of swearing - and that's not even getting started on Becky's secret metal arm...

094 - LISA PARKER AND ANDREW TROWBRIDGE - THE CURSE OF PLUG IS A MYTH

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 are Round The Archives hosts Lisa Parker and Andrew Trowbridge, who are assessing predictions of how many people in the future will remember Big Terror Movie Themes by Geoff Love And His Orchestra, Plug Comic, Children's BBC drama The Swish Of The Curtain, Jim Henson's Dinosaurs, Arthur C. Clarke's Report On Planet Three and Profiles Of The Future, and Are You Being Served Sir? by John Inman. Along the way we'll be debating the commercial viability of Giant Dog Movie Themes With Digby The Biggest Dog In The World And Eleven Other Famous Giant Dogs, meeting some Heavy Metal Morris Dancers, assessing Plug's chances of survival in the pre-Alternative Comedy standup scene, and revealing which of Arthur C. Clarke's party tricks you should definitely not attempt at home.
