The Best Of Looks Unfamiliar: This Car Has Abilities Beyond The Capabilities Of An Ordinary Car

Rachel Stevens in S Club 7 - Back To The '50s (ITV, 1999) - listen to Sophie Davies 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.

This is a collection of highlights featuring Justin Lewis on the original Only Fools And Horses theme tune, Jane Hill on His Land, Gabby Hutchinson Crouch on The Llŷn Peninsula Earthquake, Carrie Dunn on Too Close To The Sun, Tom Williamson on Samurai Pizza Cats and Bob Fischer on Eighties Tabloid Celebrities. Along the way we’ll be finding out what evasive manoeuvres to take if Cliff Richard’s guitar starts falling over in church, querying where Matt Goss might actually have watched a very old wall crumble, puzzling over how New York can be ‘The Citiest Of Cities’, recalling Joan Collins’ scandalous affair with Ian Revolution 9-Smith, and holding a Bad Musicals Support Group meeting during the interval of another bad musical. Plus there’s something you may not have heard before – Tim on It’s An S Pod Thing! talking to Sophie Davies about S Club 7’s ridiculous feature-length time travel escapade S Club 7 – Back To The ’50s!

Buy A Book!

Help support Looks Unfamiliar by buying one of Tim’s books! Higher Than The Sun is the story of Screamadelica by Primal Scream, Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub, Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne and Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, and how, long before Britpop, Creation Records took on the world and very nearly won. You can get Higher Than The Sun in paperback here or from the Kindle Store here.

Alternately, if you’re just feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee here. Just please don’t order one from S Club 7’s time-travelling diner. That would just be impractical.
