The Best Of Looks Unfamiliar: The Dublin Gang - Infinity War

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.This is a collection of highlights from Looks Unfamiliar featuring Mitch Benn on Channel 4's pre-launch trailers, Ricardo Autobahn on Roadmaker, Donna Rees on The Rise And Rise Of Michael Rimmer, Paul Whitelaw on The Secret Vampire Soundtrack EP by Bis, Ste Brotherstone on TV Tops, Adam S. Leslie on Mystery Train and Bob Fischer and Georgy Jamieson on The Fireworks Code. Along the way we'll be profiling the ubiquity in popular drama of the Glen Matlock Face, waiting eagerly for the repeat broadcast of Three Women Including Juliet Bravo singing that W-O-M-A-N song, playing Make Your Own East India Tea Company and a cardboard remake of Grand Theft Auto, questioning what Margaret Thatcher was doing hogging a double seat at the back of the bus, declining to take style tips from a Karl Howman Mod, celebrating the notorious Video Nasty The Horse Who Came From The Sea, attempting to use ALF as a barometer of celebrity status, debating the optimal costume options for a double-page poster of Arthur English, receiving firework safety advice from the cast of Hot Metal, purchasing a Brian May Firework Assortment from the local supermarket’s John Johnson Counter and trying our hardest not to think about Richard Herring’s imaginary middle of the night television schedules. Plus there's also Tim talking about Harry Secombe on Goon Pod and the build-up to Tim Burton's Batman on Still Any Good? and chats about The Golden Age Of Children's TV with Richard Herring on RHLSTP Book Club and with Andy Miller from Backlisted, and Paul Whitelaw's recollections of watching The Monkees during the school holidays...You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at timworthington.org.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here.
