009 - Martin Ruddock - I Made A Plasticine Harold Macmillan

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 Martin Ruddock, who tries to get a show of nostalgic hands for Children's BBC Sherlock Holmes-spinoff The Baker Street Boys, Eagle comic strip Doomlord, techno-powered toy range Robotix, Commodore Amiga game The Fairy Tale Adventure, dubbed German drama serial The Legend Of Tim Tyler and Britpop band Thurman and their somewhat mysterious past. Along the way we'll be finding out why history has failed to recognise the Baker Street Girls , why Slough's playing fields are to be avoided at all costs, and why a song called 'Evil' might not quite have the intended effect on its target audience.

Alternately, if you’re just feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee here. You can always send The Baker Street Boys round to get one. I'm sure they won't be doing anything important.
