045 - MELANIE WILLIAMS - SHE WAS JUST COMPLETELY EXPUNGED FROM THE GIRL-VERSE

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 academic Melanie Williams, who’s in search of primary sources on American-at-the-BBC sitcom-sketch show hybrid Kelly Monteith, absurdist cartoon Aubrey, Kellogg’s Rise & Shine, Girl Magazine comic strip Patty’s WorldJackie Magazine’s ‘Mustard Mind’ column, The Man Who Juggled Blocks On Variety Shows, and Rimmel Coffee Shimmer. Along the way we’ll be finding out why you should never take dating tips from The Two Ronnies, learning juggling by post, debating the merits of Mark Ellen In A Big Shirt, and tactfully avoiding the weakest Weak Lemon Drink in history.
