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 comedy writer and author Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, who’s trying to thoroughly rinse out her memories of Cricklewood by The Goodies, Harry Hill’s Fruit Fancies, nineties theme park The American Adventure, Rockstar Games’ L.A. Noire, Wella Shaders And Toners and her School Ghost ‘Catherine’. Along the way we’ll be giving out fashion tips for anyone who wants to look like a low budget Phyllis Off Coronation Street or a Non-Copyright ‘The Rachel’, refusing to go on the Lee Anderson Rollercoaster, debating the minimum qualifications for a ‘Beast’ and submitting topical one-liners to an Analogue Week Ending.
