044 - Chris Hughes - The Mr. Wilmott-Brown Of Chocolate Bars

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 Chris Hughes, who's 'moving house' to BBC1 in search of evidence of the existence of Ceefax-derived Saturday Morning oddity Buzzfax, Hector The Help The Aged Dog, Home Computing-themed comic Load Runner, The Gilette Video Show, novelty confectionery The One-Two Bar, impenetrable satirical cartoonist Mordillo, Inspector Morse-themed dance record Morse (He's A Mystery To Me) by Codex, and The British Banknote Keyring. Along the way we'll be finding out how to insult Noel Edmonds via Teletext, why Elton John shimmying between two pianos in mid-air was embraced by mid-eighties Action Movie audiences, and what you'll need to establish your very own Gonch Gardener lookalike agency.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, why not help to support the show by buying us a coffee here? I do actually own a Buzzfax mug if that helps.
