from Looks Unfamiliar · host Podnose
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 podcaster Phil Catterall, who's wising up to his fringe-of-the-memory memories of Madballs Comic, Channel 4's youth consumer advice show Wise Up!, the Platoon tie-in computer game, Phantom 2040, a particularly irritating series of adverts for Birdseye Steakhouse Grills and animated Star Wars spin-off Droids. Along the way we'll be debating whether R1D1 is 'canon', revealing when crisps can be considered a vector for healthy living, and noting just which elements of The Untouchables were considered entirely appropriate for a scrolling platform game aimed at children.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/. You can also find Phil on Looks Unfamiliar talking about the Christmas Specials of On The Hour, The Chris Morris Music Show and Lee And Herring here and the Community Christmas Specials here.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. It really is about time we had a specialist 'Pyramint' blend.

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 does. Joining Tim this time is host of the Don't Let's Chart podcast Phil Catterall, who's sharing his fringe-of-the-memory memories of Madballs Comic, Channel 4's youth-orientated consumer advice show Wise Up!, the tie-in computer game of Platoon, ill-advised animated newspaper strip update Phantom 2040, a particularly irritating series of adverts for Birdseye Steakhouse Grills, and long-forgotten Star Wars cartoon spin-off Droids. Along the way we'll be finding out whether R1D1 is 'canon', when crisps are a vector for healthy living, and just which elements of The Untouchables were considered appropriate for a scrolling platform game aimed at children.
