Looks Unfamiliar

109 - Mitch Benn - Spaghetti Star Wars


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.

Joining Tim this time is musician, comedian and writer Mitch Benn, who's standing behind one of those big studio microphones clutching his headphones while telling everyone about all-star Heavy Metal famine relief fundraising single Stars by Hear'n'Aid, Gerry Anderson's Into Infinity. The Humanoid, A Man Called Sloane, Playmobil clones BusyBodies and The Kids Are Alright by The Pleasers, Along the way we'll be debating the efficacy of an army of giant robot replicas of Keir Starmer, discussing the suitability of Noel Edmonds hairstyles for secret agents, finding out when Brian Blessed is not actually Brian Blessed and assessing the physical plausibility of the angle that eighties television presenters would crane their necks by to get noticed by cameras filming charity singalong choirs.
