Looks Unfamiliar: Vikki Gregorich And Jeff Lewis – No It’s Just A Radio That’s Been Left On

The Secret Cabaret (Channel 4, 1990-92) - listen to Jeff Lewis and Vikki Gregorich talking to Tim Worthington 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 are Game Developer Jeff Lewis and Board Game Collector Vikki Gregorich, who are going back three spaces in the hope of finding anyone else who remembers animated sporting movie Animalympics, Conrad’s War by Andrew Davies, satirical graphic novel The Last American, fantasy author Paul Biegel, Harry Harrison’s Deathworld series and Channel 4’s goth/industrial magic show The Secret Cabaret. Along the way we’ll be evaluating the lack of viable life choices for anyone named ‘Ulysses S. Pilgrim’, debating the identity of ‘soft lad who stood on a pole’, and perusing adverts for Genuine One Hundred Percent Legal Generic Seeds.
