Looks Unfamiliar: Tim Worthington – A Kind Of Home Bargains KLF

Something Outa Nothing by Letitia Dean And Paul J. Medford (BBC Records And Tapes, 1986) - listen to Tim Worthington and Ben Baker 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 time Tim’s the guest, talking to Ben Baker about Something Outa Nothing – the song ‘written’ and performed by The Banned, a group formed by the teenage residents of Albert Square in EastEnders and then released by BBC Records And Tapes as an actual hit single credited to Letitia Dean And Paul J. Medford. Along the way we’ll be speculating on which exotic rare synthetically-furred animal was used to fashion Letitia and Paul’s stage costumes, debating the correct syntax for Jimi Hendrix-based insults, questioning the wisdom of incorporating the word ‘alabaster’ into song lyrics and revealing why people kept handing Nick Berry unwanted plates of fish and chips.
