004 - STEPHEN O'BRIEN - THE CLASSIC 'FOUR CALCULATORS' SKETCH

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 Stephen O’Brien, who’s wondering why he gets blank looks all round whenever he mentions Steven Moffat sitcom The Office, early ‘lad mag’ LM, eighties puzzle cash-in paperback You Can Do The Cube, KLF-affiliated early Stock Aitken Waterman act Brilliant, The Beachcombers and other last-minute ITV emergency schedule replacement standbys, and The Morecambe And Wise Board Game. Along the way we’ll be finding out how many issues of ‘Razzle And Wise’ were published, how many characters Stefan Dennis can play on stage at once, and which seventies action serial is slightly less preferable to actually being at school.

003 - MARK THOMPSON - I'M QUITE HAPPY WITH MY PASSPORT COLOUR TO BE HONEST

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 political commentator Mark Thompson, who's wondering why nobody else ever does 'WHACKO!'-accompanied high fives over computer-fixated eighties action series Whiz Kids, Crash ZX Spectrum Magazine, ITV Night Time reality show Night Shift, Public Information Film family The Blunders, late nineties dystopian thriller series The Last Train and Hanna Barbera horror-adventure animation The Drak Pack. Along the way we'll be finding out why there should be more government warnings about the dangers of hallucinating a disdainful Emma Bunton, how to distinguish an American teenager on a BMX from Arthur Mullard in a school cap, and when it is and isn't appropriate to address Colin Bennett as 'Vince Purity'.

002 - GARRETH HIRONS - PIERS MORGAN, I WANT MY SIZZLIN' BACON BACK

Along the way we'll be finding out why professional wrestlers should never try their hand at topical satire, revealing why ZX Spectrum owners lived in fear of Ian Durell and assessing Piers Morgan's degree of personal responsibility for the decline of the maize-based snack industry.

001 - PHIL CATTERALL - HERE IS PYRAMINT, BUY PYRAMINT

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 does.

Joining Tim this time is podcaster Phil Catterall, who's sharing his fringe-of-the-memory memories of Madballs Comic, Channel 4's youth-orientated consumer advice show Wise Up!, the Platoon tie-in computer game, Phantom 2040, a particularly irritating series of adverts for Birdseye Steakhouse Grills and animated Star Wars spin-off Droids. Along the way we'll be debating whether R1D1 is 'canon', revealing when crisps are considered a vector for healthy living, and noting just which elements of The Untouchables were considered appropriate for a scrolling platform game aimed at children.
