What this episode covers
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 writer and musician Garreth F. Hirons, who tells us about his hazy yet definite recollections of indie band The Bigger The God, unlikeable action figure range Food Fighters, ZX Spectrum game Saboteur, short-lived wrestling sensation The Triangle Of Terror, Sizzlin' Bacon Flavour Monster Munch, and BBC3 sitcom Fun At The Funeral Parlour. Along the way we'll be finding out why professional wrestlers should never attempt topical satire, revealing what caused ZX Spectrum owners to live in fear of Ian Durell, and assessing Piers Morgan's personal responsibility for the decline of the maize-based snack industry.
