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.

Along the way we'll be pondering the difference between a Square CD and a 'Square' CD, attempting to steer a 90Mph Dalek, averting a Radio Times listing for Starved Robin Askwith, evaluating a proper professional synthesiser against one demonstrated by 'the man' in Tandy and securing Jon Pertwee's autograph only upside down.
