068 - Mic Wright - A Very Fall Type Sweet

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 journalist Mic Wright, who's noticed that no newspaper front pages include anything about The Adventures Of Pete And Pete, Army And Navy Sweets, Emergency by 999, Rock On by David Essex, the early nineties Thunderbirds comic, and the murky origins of a certain unsavoury playground rumour. Along the way we'll be admiring Jeff Wayne's skateboarding skills, assessing the viability of Ian Pick and Ian Mix's retirement plan, and recounting Melissa Joan Hart's little-known stint as a the Fifth Beatle.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/, You can also find Mic on Looks Unfamiliar talking about I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape by The Times, Clarissa Explains It All , 2000 AD strip Nikolai Dante, Sharky And George, Jeff Lint andThe Game here.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. If there's a trendy fancy hipster Army And Navy Blend, though, please avoid it at all costs.
