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 musician Paul Abbott, who's frantically trawling defunct search engines for any mention of VHS-only documentary The Compleat Beatles, the Cadbury's Smash spin-off Zeeb And The Martians books, short-lived CBBC puppet Crab E. Crab, Rock Lords spin-off action figure range Narlies, high concept home computer the Commodore Plus/4, Signal Radio's The Late Night Funster Show, and a couple of extra surprises involving Dudley Moore and Paul's family record collection. Along the way we'll be finding out what the rare John Lennon Transformer turned into, recalling the only joke ever told on The Comedians, debating the correct pronunciation of 'Adrian Mole' and spelling of 'Compleat', and definitely not finding out what time Crab E. Crab is on. Plus there's a live appearance by a Narlie!

If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, why not buy us a coffee here? Please don’t give any more caffeine to Crab E. Crab though.
