059 - Lisa Parker And Andrew Trowbridge - Once Upon A Time Gyles Brandreth Was Quite A Cool Name

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 are podcasters Lisa Parker and Andrew Trowbridge, who are heading back round the archives again in search of spooky BBC sitcom So Haunt Me, ZX Spectrum strategy game Stonkers, Atari Indiana Jones-riffing side-scroller Pitfall!, Furzlin' With Shag Connors And The Carrot Crunchers, Marion Chesney's 'Six Sisters' novels and translated comedy book Le Petit Nicolas. Along the way we'll be querying how many different ways Shag Connors can spell his name, reading about Barbara Cartland's trip to Borley Rectory, and debating which is more of an ocular irritant out of the Ken Dodd's Diddymen Annual design aesthetic and Mr. T on Sesame Street insert film that someone has deliberately trodden on.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/. You can also find Lisa and Andrew on Looks Unfamiliar talking about Big John Little John, Virtual Murder, The Jaws Game, Matchbox Cascade, the Bobby Brewster novels and Enid Blyton’s Mr. Pinkwhistle here and Big Terror Movie Themes by Geoff Love And His Orchestra, Plug Comic, The Swish Of The Curtain, Dinosaurs, Arthur C. Clarke’s& Report On Planet Three and Profiles Of The Future and Are You Being Served Sir? by John Inman here.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. Yes I know it's probably a bit modern and metropolitan and sophisticated for Shag Connors but even so.
