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 writer and author Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, who’s hoping history won’t be too horrible about high concept BBC Saturday Morning show Parallel 9, The Llŷn Peninsula Earthquake, the 2002 film adaptation of The Revenger’s Tragedy, Terry Pratchett computer game Discworld Noir, Feed The Tree by Belly and Irish-themed alcopop Craic. Along the way we’ll be finding out how many cartoons about Rude Dogs there were, querying where Matt Goss might actually have watched a very old wall crumble, and enjoying the great taste of freshly mown grass.
