007 - Ben Baker - Just A Bit Massively Stereotypical

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 broadcaster Ben Baker, who's simultaneously hoping to roll a six and hoping not to roll a six on his not exactly widely shared memories of Children's ITV magazine show Toksvig, The Whizzkid's Handbook, Mysteries Of Old Peking, Mo-Ho-Bish-O-Pi, post-Tarantino shock-comedy Go and the entirely sensible hobby of making your own TV listings magazines. Along the way we'll be taking some advice from a Charcoal Jeremy Beadle, finding out why Ben had to hide his secret drawings of the Yorkshire TV logo, assessing whether Sandi Toksvig was at risk of exploding at any moment, and revealing which Shane Meadows film is not as good as a hat.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.
