Recorded recently during his latest tour as The Pub Landlord – Gig For Victory – Al Murray joined Tyler to talk comedy and revealed how The Goon Show formed the foundations of his comic sensibilities. Al explained why he considers Spike Milligan's war memoirs to be among the greatest of their kind – brutally honest while blisteringly funny and as fine a testament to the day-to-day life of soldiers during World War II as anything ever written. It's a conversation which took in a lot of topics including Peter Cook, Denis Norden, Spitting Image, Monty Python, Al's podcast We Have Ways Of Making You Talk, Vic & Bob, Britain's satire tradition and even prog rock.

In a special edition of Looks Unfamiliar, Tim Worthington and Ben Baker take a look back at the show that gave this show its name - Looks Familiar. ITV's light-hearted Denis Norden-fronted nostalgia show is itself the stuff of hazy dust-caked photo-pages-falling-out-of-library-book recollections now, but how does it stand up in a world where irony is more important than accuracy when it comes to 'remembering' things? Tim and Ben watch a couple of editions and have a bit of a chat about the comic potential of endless clips of men dressed as women falling into some water, Richard Murdoch's cameo in The Wire, and the cinematic careers of Alan Cowboy and 'Britain's Rin Tin Tin' Ian The Dog. Plus, find out who we'd book for a revival of Looks Familiar! You can find more episodes of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/
