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 and writer Garreth Hirons, who's sitting through the loading screen waiting for any sign of Copper Blue by Sugar, the Crusader Nuts advert, The Hobbit on the ZX Spectrum, Too Sussed? by These Animal Men, Spring 1994 EP by S*M*A*S*H and Ghoulies Horror Bar. Along the way we'll be querying why ZX Spectrum games with 'Way Of' in the title refused to load, catching up on Season Four of The Weird Butcher Man That Comes And Stands Next To You At The Bar, debating whether the New Wave Of New Wave could have been saved by selling more trousers, revealing how Brett Anderson disqualified himself from appearing on compilations and - of course - trying to attack Thorin with the Trolls' Path.
Garreth has also appeared on Looks Unfamiliar talking about The Bigger The God, Food Fighters, Saboteur, The Triangle Of Terror, Sizzlin’ Bacon Monster Munch, and Fun At The Funeral Parlour here, The Yellow Album by The Simpsons, the Frankie Goes To Hollywood computer game, Sweet 75, Linc's, Transformers 'Action Masters', The Way Of The Tiger and Quatro here, The Ghosts Of Oxford Street here and the Futurama Christmas Specials here. You can also find Garreth on The Golden Age Of Children's TV talking about Trap Door here.
If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. We already know Crusader doesn't have any.
