A Perfect Looks Unfamiliar Christmas: Tim Worthington - You're Not Doing Toast Properly

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 time Tim's joining guest host Joanne Sheppard for a festively-tinged chat about Merry X-Mess by Rotterdam Termination Source, The Wassailing Song by Blur, BBC2's A Perfect Christmas, Victoria Wood With All The Trimmings, Victor Lewis-Smith's Bumper Christmas Cracker Cliché and The Hudsucker Proxy. Along the way we'll be debating how 'latex lampoonery' can work in audio only, discovering how Terry Collier invented AI, providing Richard Herring with some Ftone Fuftenance tips, watching Merchant Ivory's A Door With A Hinge, explaining why Ernie Wise was basically every panellist on every panel show ever and taking bets on how would 'win' out of Howard The Duck and The Signalman
