Looks Unfamiliar Episode 59

Looks Unfamiliar Episode 59

"Once upon a time Gyles Brandreth was quite a cool name..."

Recently, Tim Worthington threw caution to the wind and invited us to make a return appearance on his wonderful podcast 'Looks Unfamiliar'.

It's always an interesting challenge to try and come up with six things that nobody else is likely to remember, but this time we went for a deliberate collision of cultural artefacts.

So, two computer games ('Pitfall!' and 'Stonkers') line up alongside Marion Chesney's 'Six Sisters books.

'Nicholas And The Gang' gives us another fondly-remembered book and 'So Haunt Me' flies the flag for slightly forgotten archive telly, just to keep the spirit of 'Round The Archives' in the mix.

But the real wildcard this time is in the form of 'Shag Connors And The Carrot Crunchers', whose album 'Furzlin' is currently propped up next to our signed Neil Innes poster, which at least proves our somewhat eclectic tastes in music.

During recording a good time was definitely had by all, and we think that this comes across in the finished version.

Happy listening!

You can listen to Episode 59 of 'Looks Unfamiliar' here.

And you can still catch our earlier appearance on Episode 11 ('He Looks Like A Normal Boy With A Nose') here.
