About this episode

Tim Worthington talks to Georgy Jamieson about various nostalgic topics and cultural references that are often forgotten.

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 broadcaster Georgy Jamieson, trying to distribute heat evenly between her recollections of the ECKCO Hostess Trolley, Terry's Spartan, A Sharp Intake Of Breath , John Cleese's How To Win Holes By Influencing People , Charlie Chester's Sunday Soapbox and the lost art of tuning your radio in to the television signal. Along the way we'll be declining to try Heston Blumenthal's Bouncing Casserole, finding out when Ronnie Corbett looks more like Ronnie Corbett than Ronnie Corbett, trying not to think about what a 'Super-Bath' might involve and watching what happens when Peter Cook takes John Cleese's advice on how to write a letter to Bob Fischer... You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/ . You can also find Georgy on Looks Unfamiliar talking about Indoor League , Re-Joyce! , the Animals In The Box sketch, the Paul Squire Fan Club, Pippa Dolls, Pig In The Middle and Good Winter Telly here and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home , Go For Broke…
