Along the way we'll be querying when International Murun's Day is, finding out why The Get-Along Gang should never be given the vote, looking back on Richie Manic's 'Poochie' Phase, listening to a polite King Kurt and giving out fashion tips for anyone who wants to either look like a low budget Phyllis Off Coronation Street or get a Non-Copyright ‘The Rachel’. Plus you can also hear Tim on BBC 6Music talking to Stuart Maconie about Music Time and BBC Test Card F, and joining Back To Now to enthuse ever so slightly over Clouds Across The Moon by The RAH Band...

SOMETHING OUTA NOTHING EXTRA - TIM WORTHINGTON - A KIND OF HOME BARGAINS KLF

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 time Tim's the guest, chatting to Ben Baker about Something Outa Nothing, the song 'written' and performed by The Banned, a group formed by the teenage residents of Albert Square in EastEnders, and then released by BBC Records And Tapes as an actual hit single credited to Letitia Dean And Paul J. Medford. Along the way we'll be speculating on which exotic rare synthetically-furred animal was used to make Letitia and Paul's stage costumes, debating the correct syntax for Jimi Hendrix-based insults, questioning the wisdom of using the word 'alabaster' in song lyrics and revealing why people kept handing Nick Berry unwanted plates of fish and chips.

THE LOOKS UNFAMILIAR BOX OF DELIGHTS - STEPHEN O'BRIEN - WHETHER THEY HAD A MILLION POUNDS OR ONE POUND, THEY'D ALWAYS GIVE IT A GO

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.

In this special Christmas edition, writer Stephen O'Brien joins Tim on a a trip back to 1984 for a look at how the BBC's acclaimed adaptation of The Box Of Delights was received at the time by its target audience - long before it started to find itself recognised as a 'Television Classic', and when in many ways it was just another children's programme. There are plenty of tales about the unexpected resonance that The Box Of Delights has taken on since then, taking in adventures in hunting down television tie-in paperbacks in somewhat less than upmarket bookshops, searching for the The Box Of Delights theme single and then in turn the album that the theme single was extracted from in even more bizarre surroundings, trying to impress dates with your intricate knowledge of John Masefield's more arcane historical references, and attempting to wrestle the soundtrack of an episode from a video cassette onto an audio cassette in the days when the chances of actually owning a copy of The Box Of Delights in any form seemed as remote as Arnold Of Todi's island hideaway. There's also room for discussion of many similar serials that the BBC broadcast in a similar timeslot around the same time including Aliens In The Family, The Moon Stallion, The Children Of Green Knowe and - uh-oh - Billy's Christmas Angels...

Along the way we’ll be finding out what happens if you play the EastEnders theme backwards, how to cope with an anxiety dream about The Fiddly Foodle Bird, why you would need to pass a wordsearch test in order to become an Elvis Presley fan, whether there is such a thing as a Non-Advanced Combat Card, how many different ways Shag Connors can spell his own name, why less underwear costs more, and generally trying not to think too much about the operational logistics behind party invites reading ‘Graham is bringing his porn’.
