103 - ROSE RUANE - BY LEAVES, FOR LEAVES, MAYBE NOT ABOUT LEAVES

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 artist and author Rose Ruane, who's applying liberal splashes of pink paint to liven up her recollections of plush toy dog Poochie, leaf-based animation Windfalls, Charmkins, Beautiful Sunday stationery, Haunted Children and The Ghost Within by Alison Prince and Tinkerbell Cosmetics. Along the way we'll be revealing the secret ink-based code of penpal hierarchy, reluctantly meeting a forgotten terrifying TV Clown, debating which members of The Get Along Gang vote Conservative and revisiting The Manic Street Preachers' early 'Poochie' phase. Plus there's also a mystery television drama about an unlikely romance between two unlikely teenagers...

090 - HILARY MACHELL - IF YOU'RE REALLY LUCKY YOU MIGHT GET SOME MARVEL AFTERSHAVE

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 Hilary Machell, who’s searching for anyone with the same name as her who remembers Noah And Nelly In SkylArk, Wombles T-Shirts, Enamel Bedroom Door Nameplates, the correct spelling of 'Kerb', Children's ITV magazine show CBTV and the mysterious and sinister disappearance of rissoles and corresponding rise of quiche. Along the way we'll be celebrating those much-loved children's television favourites The Selbmow, sending off for The Funny Richard Nixon Buzzer ('you never know when it'll do Watergate next!'), hitting the town in Mickey Mouse t-shirts with lenticular eyes and assessing the financial viability of Postal Quiche.

089 - JULIET BRANDO - AN ADORABLE SERIAL KILLER

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 and artist Juliet Brando, who’s trying not to get anyone expelled courtesy of hazy recollections of Gideon, Escaping by Asia Blue, The Cuckoo Sister, The Telebugs, Slapwrist Bracelets, Tottie: The Story Of A Doll's House and Tab Clear. Along the way we’ll be finding out which crimes are worthy of incarceration in Doll Alcatraz, evaluating which Roxette single will most impress your teenage crush, discussing how to react if you suddenly hear your voice in the background of a bleak American drama series and debating whether a school trip ever actually happened if nobody randomly fell into an oxbow lake.
