Looks Unfamiliar: Danny Kodicek – The Bergerac-Pullover Crossover

Pullover (ITV/Pullover Productions, 1982) - listen to Danny Kodicek 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 actor Danny Kodicek, who’s listening well to Grandpa Fox’s stories of Fox Tales, Pullover, Simon Bates doing a live action version of Our Tune as part of Good Morning With Anne And Nick, Radio 5 youth shows WICR and Brassic and defunct puzzle website Time Hunt. Along the way – after we’ve finished taking a look behind the scenes at The Saturday Show – we’ll be revisiting Jamiroquai’s duet with some puppet caterpillars, hunting for the Bootleg Pullover Millions and recalling the epochal cultural impact of ‘Terry’ from Grange Hill.
