THE BEST OF LOOKS UNFAMILIAR - WHO LET THIS FLASH HARRY INTO ARCHIVE TV LAND?

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 Looks Unfamiliar featuring Lisa Parker And Andrew Trowbridge on Plug Comic, Toby Hadoke on the Cabana bar, Carrie Dunn on The Isle Of Wight Waxworks Museum, David Smith on Stranger In This Town by Richie Sambora, Al Kennedy on The Golden Cagoule and Lydia Mizon on Ceefax Backchat. Along the way we'll be assessing Plug’s chances of survival in the pre-Alternative Comedy standup scene, debating the Cabana-related exceptions to libel laws and finding out how Ally Sloper invented Teletext. Plus there's something you might not have heard - an extract from Tim's commentary on the Bluray release of legendary spooky ITV children's serial The Owl Service...

096 - AL KENNEDY - ALL THE PERSONALITY OF A DAMP RYVITA CRISPBREAD

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 podcaster Al Kennedy, who’s clapping the Nega-Bands in the hope of swapping places with someone who remembers The High Life, MB Games Flipsiders, ZX Spectrum clone the SAM Coupé, BBC Scotland's hill-based quiz show The Golden Cagoule, British Home Stores' space toy range Explorer 12, Ladybird role playing puzzle book Steeleye And The Lost Magic and the forgotten Captain Marvel Genis-Vell. Along the way we'll be navigating the warring tribes of Blokes Getting In The Way In HMV, evaluating the commercial feasibility of Travel Twister, campaigning for equal pay for female action figures and revealing how to fool your parents into putting on Kick by INXS as a witty practical joke.
