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 BEST OF LOOKS UNFAMILIAR - THAT TERRIBLE STEREOTYPED EVIL JAMES GALWAY LOOK

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 Shanine Salmon on the 1993 version of the EastEnders theme, Lydia Mizon on Stoppit And Tidyup, Jenny Morrill on The Elvis Special 1983, Al Kennedy on Steve Jackson's Battle Cards, David Smith on Little Clowns Of Happytown, Lisa Parker And Andrew Trowbridge on Furzlin' With Shag Connors And The Carrot Crunchers and Meryl O'Rourke on The International Shoparound Exotic Glamourwear Catalogue. 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’. Plus there's something you might not have heard before - Tim on TV Cream Stays Indoors talking to Graham Kibble-White about Space Sentinels.

058 - SHANINE SALMON - MAYBE HE FELT THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE NEW MODERN HYMN

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 theatre critic Shanine Salmon, who's hoping not to have booked a restricted view for the ill-advised 1993 refit of the EastEnders theme, E4 old vs. new comedians reality show Kings Of Comedy, Channel 5 stand-up showcase Club Class, hard-hitting anti-drug campaigns aimed at schoolchildren, BBC Three workplace game show Sack Race and Jerry Hall's dating show Kept. Along the way we'll be finding out what happens if you play the EastEnders theme backwards, the real reason why Bernard Manning never did Reality TV, how much 'Entertainment' could legitimately be found in The Ian Wright Entertainment Show and why you should always steer clear of women in Marc Almond eyeshadow.

052 - SUZY NORMAN - I KEPT THIS SWEATY SCARF IN MY DRAWER FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS

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 novelist Suzy Norman, who's frantically scribbling references in the margin to Sugar Box by Then Jerico, psychedelic animated musical oddity Hugo The Hippo, inexlicable Welsh family sayings, Jennifer And Josephine by Bill Peet, Arthur Fowler's appearance on fictitious game show 'Cat And Mouse' in EastEnders, and Chambourcy Real Chocolate Mousse. Along the way we'll be disclosing Mark Shaw's cunning scheme for achieving victory on Pointless, debating whether the cruellest parental Christmas Day manoeuvre was timing Christmas Dinner to coincide with Top Of The Pops or forcing you to open your presents in strict order of sibling height, and questioning why it is apparently considered 'Mod' to put salt on Weetaflakes. Plus there's more discussion of early EastEnders than you've probably heard anywhere since Mary The Punk left the show...
