Looks Unfamiliar's Box Of Delights - Richard Marson - I Suspect The Binmen Were Probably Not In That Year's Review Of The Year

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 for a Special Assignment is writer Richard Marson, author of the definitive history of Children's BBC Box Of Delights - not to mention Doctor Who Magazine veteran and former Blue Peter Editor - Richard Marson. We'll be hearing some of the stories behind the making of Jackanory, Play School, Multicoloured Swap Shop, Grange Hill, John Craven's Newsround and Blue Peter as well as our own memories of watching the shows as younger viewers - including which Kenneth Williams-read story was wiped before it could be repeated, the shocking truth about Hamble's Cage, the betting odds on who would 'win' out of Giant Pandas and Giant Hogweed and the uninspiring saga of The Caring Binmen.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here.
