029 - Phil Norman - Salvador Dali's Scalextric Set

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 animator and writer Phil Norman, who's hoping that someone else other than himself and Sir Featherskweek remembers S-S-S-Single Bed by Fox, ITV schools show Leapfrog, The Country Life Christmas Box, Humrush by KMD, rock musical drama Body Contact, Oscar The Rabbit In Rubbidge, Erasmus Microman and jaw-dropping Anthony Newley film Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humpe And Find True Happiness?. Along the way we'll also be speculating on what actually went on in the Chock-A-Block factory, revealing Fred Harris' secret Video Nasty links, chronicling the rival warring factions of the 'puppets on a black background' phenomenon (none of whom were responsible for an Off-The-Peg Ian Paisley), and trying our hardest to avoid talking about a cannibalistic emulsified cross between Last Tango In Paris and Straw Dogs. And if you can help in finding three seconds of Sylvester McCoy being hit with planks of wood, please let us know!You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/. You can also find Phil on Looks Unfamiliar talking about Over The Moon, Amityville (The House On The Hill) by Lovebug Starski, I Am The Cheese by Robert Cormier, WFLA Milkshake, Spy Trap, Mediamind, The Black Tower, Soul Train by Swans Way and Paul And Peta Page’s ‘Hot Dogs’ here, and talking about Pipkins on The Golden Age Of Children's TV here.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. I really, really hope there was never a Gold Blend Christmas Box.
