Looks Unfamiliar: Bibi Lynch – Everyone’s A Critic Noel

The Boy From Space (BBC1, 1980) - listen to Bibi Lynch and Tim Worthington chatting 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 broadcaster and writer Bibi Lynch, who’s debating who is the prettiest one on the bus out of The Amazing Cosmic Awareness Of Duffy Moon, a quote from Whistle Down The Wind that she knows despite never having seen Whistle Down The Wind, Look And Read serial The Boy From Space, You Just Might See Me Cry by Our Kid, and Spanish Gold Sweet Tobacco. Along the way we’ll be discussing the least effective methods of communicating with Elvis Presley, playing with the official Amanda Holden Slinky, keeping our fingers crossed that Scarlett Johansson will impress your parents, revealing the hidden link between The BBC Schools Clock and Baron Samedi, and recounting the terrible tale of how Ringo Starr was defrauded by some fish and chips.

Alternately, if you’re just feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee here. The Spanish Gold Sweet Tobacco is most definitely an optional extra though.
