135 - Tom Williamson - You Stick Them In And They Go FH-DNK

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 historian Tom Williamson, who thinks that the heat is on and the time is right for remembering Going For Gold, Duel by Propaganda, Constructor, the Mr Blobby VHS and The Adam And Joe Show. Along the way we'll be soliciting Gary Lineker's opinion on Napalm Death, debating the advisability of sending a pimped-up Viscount biscuit through the post, studying the phenomenon of the Traditional Scottish Head-Turn Wink, celebrating Mr. Blobby's success rate in exposing 'love rats' and trying to figure out why there were so many Pearly Kings all over Saturday Night TV in the late eighties.

You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/. You can also find Tom on Looks Unfamiliar talking about Knightmare, Samurai Pizza Cats, Add N To (X), Colonization, Mogwai and Life Story here, and on The Golden Age Of Children's TV talking about Blockbusters here.

If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. Do not order it in the pronunciation style recommended by that 'British' voice coach.
