115 - Suzy Robinson - Was Limahl Ever Cool?

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 and soprano Suzy Robinson, who's pressing the Magic Button in the hope of conjuring up recollections of Crown Court, Now That's What I Call Music! 4, Nicol Williamson's reading of The Hobbit, Floodtide and Gus Honeybun's Magic Birthdays. Along the way we'll be finding out how Morten Harket accidentally ended up in Dorking, writing in to Stanley Spencer's Magic Birthdays, revealing when BBC Test Card F might actually be your less terrifying viewing option and debating whether J.R.R. Tolkien's prose is better enhanced by deeply ingrained record scratches or by Bernard Cribbins banging his head on the studio ceiling.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. Or you could write in to Gus Honeybun, I suppose, but even though he almost certainly had his own branded mugs where the transfer came off the first time you washed them, I severely doubt he had his own Magic Birthdays Roast.
