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 is a collection of highlights from Looks Unfamiliar featuring Lisa Parker And Andrew Trowbridge on Plug Comic, Toby Hadoke on the Cabana bar, Carrie Dunn on The Isle Of Wight Waxworks Museum, David Smith on Stranger In This Town by Richie Sambora, Al Kennedy on The Golden Cagoule and Lydia Mizon on Ceefax Backchat. Along the way we'll be assessing Plug’s chances of survival in the pre-Alternative Comedy standup scene, debating the Cabana-related exceptions to libel laws and finding out how Ally Sloper invented Teletext. Plus there's something you might not have heard - an extract from Tim's commentary on the Bluray release of legendary spooky ITV children's serial The Owl Service...
You can find the full versions of all of these shows and lots more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.
If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. If you've got access to a time machine, one of those coffee bars that Gillian Hills hung out at in Beat Girl would be worth a try.
