124 - Joanne Sheppard - A Billy Butler For Every Region

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 book reviewer Joanne Sheppard, who's writing in to an early evening BBC magazine show for confirmation that she's not just making up Fax, rival human-ape hybrid thrillers First Born and Chimera, Next Of Kin, Mother Love, I'm Your Number One Fan, BBC Schools show The History Trail, The Yolk Folk, Angela Rippon's Victoria Plum and ITV's attempt at televised Cluedo. Along the way we'll be stocking up on Mark Phillips And His Horses merchandise, declining to eat some fifty year old corned beef, debating which lasted longer out of Whither Tarrant? and Whither Oddie?, finding out what would happen if you described Mark And Lard to your grandparents and finally explaining the ending of Life On Mars via a series of clues relating to Gene Hunt's thumb.
