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.

056 - MERYL O'ROURKE - THE SOUP OF THE UNDERWEAR WORLD

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 comedian Meryl O’Rourke, who’s literally rooting through her drawers as we speak in search of BBC Schools programme Sam On Boff’s Island, early portable television the Roadstar, early word processor the Canon StarWriter, Thames Television’s kids club magazine Telereporter, LWT magazine show The Six O’Clock Show, Tom Hanks sitcom Bosom Buddies, and The International Shoparound Exotic Glamourwear Catalogue. Along the way we’ll be estimating how many pills make Michael Rosen larger, failing to impress Russell Harty in a lift, considering the audience Venn Diagram for Dramarama: Spooky and Button Moon, puzzling over why less underwear costs more, and trying not to think too much about the operational logistics behind party invites reading ‘Graham is bringing his porn’.
