Looks Unfamiliar: Sophie Davies – We Can Blame Biggins For Everything Now

AD/BC: A Rock Opera (BBC Three, 2004) - 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.

Joining Tim this time is writer and podcaster Sophie Davies, who’s not stopping and never giving up on the hope of finding that someone else remembers short-lived pop sensation *allSTARS, ITV variety spectacular The All Star Impressions Show, InseKtorS, BBC Three sci-fi sitcom Clone, The Grott Street Gang by Terry Deary, and Matt Berry’s religious opus AD/BC: A Rock Opera. Along the way we’ll be assessing the role of incorrect capitalisation in pop music, ranking celebrity impressions of the Jamaican Louis Walsh, and debating whether the Sorry! theme is in fact a gateway drug to Acid Folk addiction.
