Looks Unfamiliar: Tom Williamson – You Stick Them In And They Go FH-DNK

The Adam And Joe Show (Channel 4/World Of Wonder, 1996-2001) - listen to Tom Williamson 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 historian Tom Williamson, who thinks that the heat is on and the time is right for remembering Going For Gold, Duel by Propaganda, Constructor, the Mr Blobby VHS and The Adam And Joe Show. Along the way we’ll be soliciting Gary Lineker’s opinion on Napalm Death, debating the advisability of sending a pimped-up Viscount biscuit through the post, studying the phenomenon of the Traditional Scottish Head-Turn Wink, celebrating Mr. Blobby’s success rate in exposing ‘love rats’ and trying to figure out why there were so many Pearly Kings all over Saturday Night TV in the late eighties.
