106 - Bob Fischer - The Thinking Man's Custard Pie
Manage episode 366937949 series 1402484
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 broadcaster and writer Bob Fischer, who's roaming the streets doing vox pops asking if anyone remembers Grange Hill spinoff Tucker's Luck, post-punk bin-clatterers Pookiesnackenburger, We Wanna Be Famous by Buster Gobsmack And Eats Filth who are not in any way the That's Life! team in disguise as 'punks', game show contestants' occupations being booed by the studio audience and the lost ancient art of the paper plate and shaving foam Custard Pie. Along the way we'll be meeting a Trade Union Uncle Fester, listening to a Polite King Kurt, trying to avoid being scammed by a Sicilian Jeremy Corbyn and a Blue Diana Dors, watching Jack Rosenthal's Play Your Cards Right, and debating whether Pearl Jam would have been improved by a well-timed plate of shaving foam in Eddie Vedder's face.
You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/. You can also find Bob on Looks Unfamiliar talking about The Tom O’Connor Roadshow, Giant Hogweed, Can’t Get A Ticket (For The World Cup) by Peter Dean, Glee Bars, J. Edward Oliver’s ‘Abolish Tuesdays’ and How To Be A Wally here and Eighties ‘Tabloid Celebrities’, Accidentally Kelly Street by Frente!, The Two Ronnies’ ‘Mileaway’, Rude Food, Suggs On Saturday and School Folk Songs here.
If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. Although if you're Alan from Tucker's Luck, you probably haven't got enough ten pences for one.
There's more about the weird world of BBC Records And Tapes in Top Of The Box, available in paperback here or from the Kindle Store here.
