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.

055 - LYDIA MIZON - THERE WAS NO DICAPRIO RHYME

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 QI Elf – and Only Connect champion – Lydia Mizon, who’s hoping that the klaxon buzzer thing doesn’t go off when she mentions Stoppit And Tidyup, Acorn Archimedes game Fervour, Children’s ITV programme Alphabet CastleRoseanne And The Magic Mirror by Virginia Ironside, VHS-assisted board game Party Mania, and a book about a girl called Lydia who hated cress. Along the way we’ll be finding out how to cope with an anxiety dream about The Fiddly Foodle Bird, recalling Hale And Pace’s classic ‘Irony Virginiaside’ sketches whether they actually existed or not, trying to work out what rhymes with Leonardo Dicaprio, and definitely not playing the The Weakest Link PlayStation game.

You can also find Lydia on Looks Unfamiliar talking about Look Around YouMongrelsKarma Hotel by Spooks, The Smurfs Go Pop!, Lift OffSecret Agent: The Hunt For Red Rock Rover, Math Rescue, Ceefax Backchat and 4-Tel MegaZine here.
