145 - Tim Worthington - A Standard Issue Sweary Three-Year-Old

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 the guest, joining Mark Thompson for a chat about Secret Valley, Let My People Go-Go by The Rainmakers, The Grimleys, Whatever Happened To Harold Smith?, Where Did It All Go Right? by Andrew Collins, Britain's Best Drives With Richard Wilson, Sarah Millican's Support Group and the mysterious absence of Cherish by The Association from the Pretty In Pink soundtrack album. Along the way we'll be debating whether Lottery Love Rats are worse than regular Love Rats, 'remembering' Kate Thornton 'remembering' Mark Gatiss 'remembering' Stuart Maconie 'remembering' David Quantick 'remembering' Andrew Collins 'remembering' falling in some mud, finding out what The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn And His Friends crossed with Whose Line Is It Anyway? In America sounds like in musical form, sending BBC2 on a Samatha-Vipassanā retreat and revealing who would make the best Looks Unfamiliar guest out of Scarlett Johannson, Hayley Atwell and a Trumpton Puppet of Prince.
