Episode Synopsis

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 writer and broadcaster Ben Baker, who's putting a big circle round the listings in TV Times so he doesn't miss Mr T's Christmas Dream, Kid Creole And The Coconuts musical There's Something Wrong In Paradise, Adam Buxton's Christian Rave documentary God In The House, Christian Metal tour movie To Hell With The Devil, Highway, The Flint Street Nativity, the 1990 Bullseye Christmas Special, Adam And Joe's Fourmative Years and - uh oh - TFI 1998. Along the way we'll be discussing whether Jesus could have improved This Life +10, setting the video for Michael Moore's TV Mayhem and Paul Shane Infinity War, questioning what would happen if an edition of Bullseye simply refused to stop, and studiously avoiding going to see One Love In The Sky - A Stone Roses Musical.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.If you're looking for more Looks Unfamiliar with a Christmas twist, you can find Ben talking about Bernard And The Genie here and the unsurprisingly long-forgotten original version of Now - The Christmas Album here and The Goodies: Snow White 2, Roland’s Yuletide Binge and Grange Hill For Christmas here, and chatting with me about the Nativity module of BBC Schools show Watch here. If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. Festive Lattes are very much accepted. Especially in a 'Red Triangle' mug.
