Listen Later

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 the guest is Tim himself, who's talking to Stephen O'Brien about the fact that even he has never met anyone has ever heard of The Only Way by Lisa Stansfield, sixties crime caper movie The Brain, Jackanory's adaptation of Starstormers by Nicholas Fisk, the 'There Were Three Of Them, In A Boat...' Public Information Film, the original version of I Was Made To Love Magic by Nick Drake, trashy teen novel Secrets From The School Underground, early Mark Radcliffe vehicle Skyman and forgotten 'fourth' Trumptonshire series Rubovia, not to mention a certain less than reputable unidentified film that used to show up on German cable channels late on Saturday Nights. Along the way we'll be finding out whether Kim Wilde Doing Abba is preferable to Abba Doing Kim Wilde, tuning in for the Welsh Brass Eye, fondly reminiscing about when Billy Elliot exploded (and even then wasn't as good as Musical Youth), and getting annoyed at a fictional schoolboy's opinions on Monty Python's Flying Circus.
