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 writer James Gent, who is using 'computer graphics' to link hazy archive recollections of The Golden Oldie Picture Show, When The Wind Blows by David Bowie, Beeb Magazine, T-Rex 'Greatest Hits' albums with none of the hits on them, Children's BBC clip show Boxpops, and the Montreux Special of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Along the way we'll be finding out what Clive Dunn being Grandad as Grandad looks like, where the whistling from Never Let Me Down was 'borrowed' from, and exactly where you can find an alarming amount of detail about Michael Sheard And His Pet Dogs.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, why not buy me a coffee here? Wonder if they ever did a Boxpops on the theme of ‘coffee’, with bits from a Panorama on global trade and an argument in the cafe in EastEnders or something?
