019 - Jonny Morris - What Was Actually In The Dandy?

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 Jonny Morris, who's selecting MODE 2 for writing up his recollections of the BBC Micro Welcome cassette, The Dandy sci-fi strip Jack Silver, non-canonical Mr. Men book Mr. Spendy, The Carmen Ejogo Video Show, Dead Ernest, and Jesta Giggle by The Barron Knights. Along the way we'll be finding out how to estimate James Bond's 'Biorhythms', what the second worst ZX Spectrum game was, how many times it's possible to say 'Padmasambhava' in one sentence,and why The Barron Knights should have covered T.V.O.D.. Also, we solve two mystery half-recollections live on air!You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/. You can also find Jonny talking about Galaxy Gold by Neil Norman And His Cosmic Orchestra, Battlestar Galactica action figures, the disastrous second season of Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, H.G, Wells’ The Shape Of Things To Come, Fall Out by DATA and Space Wars – Fact And Fiction on Looks Unfamiliar here and Crackerjack! on The Golden Age Of Children's TVhere.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. I'm fairly sure The Barron Knights would have an amusing song to hand about how it doesn't taste like real coffee.
