Looks Unfamiliar: Ros Ballinger – I Can’t Remember If It Was The First Leg Or The Second Leg

Microsoft Explorapedia (Microsoft, 1995) - listen to Ros Ballinger and Tim Worthington talking about it in Looks Unfamiliar.

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 comedian Ros Ballinger, who does her best to convince everyone else of the existence of children’s comedy crime serial Henry’s Leg, sci-fi radio drama Waiting For Aliens, Those Ice Creams That Had Real Fruit In Them, a Safety Video for schools starring Hannah Taylor Gordon, Microsoft Explorapedia, and reading your dad’s copy of The Adventures Of Fat Freddy’s Cat while he’s not looking. Along the way we’ll be finding out how to unsuccessfully smuggle Skittles into school, studying the art of the ‘Archers Sigh’, and learning which specific varieties of Smiths Crisps to avoid discussing if you want to dodge getting detention.
