081 - Grace Dent - We Fed A Lot Of These People After Midnight

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 author, restaurant critic and broadcaster Grace Dent, who's refusing to eat anywhere that doesn't remember Magic Smile by Rosie Vela, a mystery clown who appeared on the television from nowhere, the BBC's 1986 Domesday Project, Puddles In The Lane by Alan Parker, ITV stunt cycling show BMX Beat, BBC Scotland summer holidays children's programme The Untied Shoelaces Show, gritty ITV teen drama Going Out, eighties backing vocalists extraordinaire The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts, eighties video shop favourite Wacko and That's Life! trying to whip up a bit of panic about raw kidney beans. Along the way we'll be recounting Phil Redmond's ascent to superstardom in the Netherlands, gauging The Beastie Boys' impact on social statistic analysis, betting on a pay-per-view smackdown between Esther Rantzen and Delia Smith, and finding out just how many people it's possible to fall out with over a black and white portable television.

You can also find Grace on Looks Unfamiliar talking about Woolworths' Christmas ads, The Weekenders, John Peel's Festive Fifty, Sky Star Search, Snub TV, Chas'n'Dave's Christmas Knees-Up, Peter And The Test Tube Babies and The Max Headroom Broadcast Signal Intrusion here.
