Looks Unfamiliar Christmas On 4 Extra: "I Don't Want To Get All Sepia Tinted Here"

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 for a special festive edition is writer and musician Garreth F. Hirons, who's ransacking his advent calendar for tangible recollections of Channel 4's 1991 Christmas Day oddity The Ghosts Of Oxford Street, a musical history-based documentary featuring Malcolm McLaren, Happy Mondays, The Pogues, Kirsty MacColl, Nick Cotton from EastEnders and many other equally unlikely names. There's also room for a look at some of Channel 4's other peculiar Christmas Day offerings over the years, as well as revealing who was Q Magazine's House Diva Of Choice, celebrating the career of 'DJ Ron', defining what constitutes a 'New Console Christmas', and discussing why Tom Jones would not have been a good choice for a Doctor Who assistant.
