Looks Unfamiliar: Gary Bainbridge – This Is Like Mousetrap In Reverse

Googi The Liverpool Duck - listen to Gary Bainbridge 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 Gary Bainbridge, who’s searching for the next instalment of the comic strip serialisations of Googi The Liverpool Duck, Big Bubbles, No Troubles by Ellis Beggs And Howard, stunt-riding action figure for girls Derry Daring, Looney Tunes and DC Comics stage crossover Bugs Bunny In Space, The London Connection, Cliff Richard’s dance record as ‘Black Knight’, DJ Spuddles Original Gourmet Fries, The Shinsei Miracle and Shut Yer Gob by Lee Brennan. Along the way we’ll be debating whether it’s acceptable to play Paddington Bear in ‘bearface’, revisiting lost rock genre Rod Jane And Rogercore, rifling through Billy Butler’s collection of white noise recordings, listening to Barry Cryer’s cover of Scott Walker’s Tilt, and pondering why so many children in seventies mail order catalogues looked like Matt Berry.
