First Look Gnomes
Two Dad's doing Silly Things.
Everyone wants to learn something new, but only some people want to sit down and read a bunch of nonsense - so why not listen to some instead? Chuck in some random facts and a couple of Dad jokes, and you'll be full of (potentially useless) knowledge in no time.
Whether all of it is true is part of the gnomery.
Join Cornishman "Walliams" in the shed at the bottom of his garden in Cornwall and Wulfrunian (a man from Wolverhampton apparently) "Mr Hodgkiss" from Belfast as they take a "first look" at the relatively unknown, learn some stuff and chat about life as Parents.
Dive into the First Look Gnome Universe every month and learn about random things you didn't even know you wanted to learn about! Fill some of your day with something interesting, engaging, and funny.
Welcome to the bottom of the garden.......'But what about the Gnomes?' I hear you cry!
Good things come to gnomes who wait. And ones that rate, review and subscribe :)

Do bedtime routines really affect how well you sleep? In this archive episode, we talk about everything from Mini CPAP devices, sleep apnoea, snoring and bedtime habits to the voices that help us drift off—including why so many people fall asleep listening to Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter.
We also revisit one of our funniest adventures at the London Beer Festival, where our beer ratings become increasingly generous as the evening progresses. Then it's off to Belfast for a memorable music festival experience as one of us takes his nearly 70-year-old mum to her first outdoor concert to see Lionel Richie and The Human League.
Elsewhere, we discuss the risks of buying random sleep gadgets online instead of seeking proper medical advice, before diving into the surprisingly addictive world of SoundFonts—where famous songs are recreated using classic video game sounds.

• Mini CPAP, snoring and sleep apnoea
• Bedtime routines and the best podcasts and audiobooks for sleep
• Stephen Fry's Harry Potter audiobooks

What starts with anime, big bikes and dad jokes quickly turns into one of our most relatable parenting conversations yet.
In this episode, we discover One-Punch Man and discuss why anime is becoming our latest obsession. We also look ahead to the summer cinema season, debate the challenges of creating new stories in the shadow of Star Wars, and share some of our favourite pop culture discoveries.
But the heart of the episode is parenting.
We talk about helping a child move up to their first "big bike", teaching gears for the first time, supporting children through homework and transfer test preparation, and the emotional realisation that our kids are growing up much faster than we'd like.
Along the way we discuss confidence, team sports, resilience, and the challenge every parent faces when trying to balance encouragement with pressure.
In this episode:
• One-Punch Man and our first steps into anime
• First mountain bikes and teaching children to ride with gears
• School homework and transfer test preparation
• Confidence, team sports and trying your best

What starts with a tongue-in-cheek chat about pink flamingos and rumour culture quickly turns into a deeper look at identity, heritage, and how stories shape what we believe.
In this episode, we unpack surprising DNA test results, explore Celtic ancestry, and discover unexpected links to Southern Ontario settlers that reshape family narratives. It’s an honest, funny discussion about what ancestry percentages really mean — and why they’re clues, not labels.
We also explore:
- Cornwall, national pride, and cultural context
- The debate around classic children’s books and whether context matters more than edits
- A first look at The Blue-Footed Booby by Rob Biddulph
- Using ChatGPT for creativity, writing, and overcoming creative blocks
- Social media platforms imagined as pubs
- And a very serious Easter egg debate (Cadbury fans, assemble)
If you’re interested in DNA ancestry results, family history discoveries, children’s literature discussions, AI tools like ChatGPT, or cultural commentary with humour, this archive episode delivers thoughtful laughs and practical insight.
Perfect for curious minds who enjoy culture, books, identity, and tech — with friendly chaos included.
Ever notice how a pink flamingo can start a rumour? We open with the folklore of swinging symbols and the way small, silly signals become “truth” once enough people repeat them. That playful start sets us up for a surprisingly heartfelt turn: one of us shares fresh DNA test results that map a Celtic-heavy mix with a twist—genetic ties to Southern Ontario settlers—and a newly discovered family connection that reframes old stories. It’s identity with a wink, proof that percentages are clues, not labels.
From there we wander (with purpose) into the places we come from and the histories we inherit. Cornwall’s past stirs a chat about national pride, rugby songs, and why context matters more than erasure when we hand classic children’s books to the next generation. We make the case for notes and guidance instead of edits that sand off the edges. Along the way, a first look at The Blue-Footed Booby by Rob Biddulph reminds us that picture books can be clever, warm, and wildly re-readable.
AI gets its moment too. We talk about using ChatGPT to break creative blocks, sharpen lines, and ship better work faster—without surrendering judgement or voice. It’s honest, hands-on, and grounded: prompts, iterations, and why the human still decides what’s good. Then we lighten the load with a tour of social platforms imagined as pubs, and we crown the winner of a very serious LinkedIn poll on the best Easter eggs—spoiler: Cadbury by a mile.
Come for the laughs, stay for the curiosity. If you enjoy a mix of culture, ancestry, books for kids, and practical takes on AI—served with friendly chaos—you’re in the right place. Tap follow, share this with a friend who needs a smile, and leave us a quick review to help others find the show. What surprised you most this week?

🎧 In this episode of First Look Gnomes, we take a first look at two worlds that couldn’t be more different — but are both hilariously unforgettable.
👉 First up, it’s the 90’s! From Tamagotchis and dial-up internet to baggy jeans and Britpop, we dive into the nostalgia that defined a generation. If you grew up in the 90’s, you’ll be nodding (and laughing) along.
👉 Then we switch gears to the chaos of potty training — the parenting milestone that’s messy, unpredictable, and full of funny stories. Whether you’re in the trenches right now or remembering the struggle, you’ll relate to the wins, fails, and everything in between.
It’s a mix of retro nostalgia and real-life parenting mayhem, served with the usual Gnome humour.
Two dads share their latest "first looks" while navigating parenthood, 90s nostalgia in 2025, and a special celebrity appearance from a children's TV legend.
• Mr Hodgkiss experiences a strange time warp as 2025 brings back Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, King of the Hill, and Oasis

🎧 In this episode of First Look Gnomes, we’re taking three very different trips into live entertainment — from belly laughs to big riffs and even a festival with helicopters!
👉 First up, we explore Peter Kay’s Tour, the long-awaited comedy comeback that’s packing out arenas and proving why Kay is still the king of observational humour.
👉 Then, it’s time to crank up the volume with The Darkness Tour — glam rock, falsetto vocals, and a show that’s as outrageous as ever. But does the nostalgia still hit as hard today?
👉 Finally, we shine a spotlight on Helifest in Cornwall, a family-friendly music festival supporting the Cornish Air Ambulance. With live acts, local community vibes, and an important cause, it’s more than just a festival — it’s a celebration with heart.
Whether you’re into stand-up comedy, rock concerts, or UK festivals with a cause, this episode gives you a first look at it all.
After weeks in renovation hell learning about specialised vacuum cleaners, we finally escaped for some much-needed entertainment with a two-for-one special of live shows. Sometimes you need Peter Kay and The Darkness to remind you there's more to life than HEPA filters and plasterboard dust.
• Peter Kay's show feels like a "greatest hits" tour with the comedian doing a tribute act to himself
• Phoenix Nights perfectly captured the characters and atmosphere of British working men's clubs
• The Darkness proved they're much more than a one-hit wonder with impressive guitar solos and rock performances
• Brazilian sweet "Rapadurhina" gets a cautious review as a first bite
• Helifest in Cornwall combines helicopters, emergency vehicles, and festival fun for families
• Skip crowded pubs after concerts and head to hotel bars instead for quicker service and comfortable seating
• Regular dental check-ups save money – £125 per filling adds up quickly when you've avoided the dentist for decades

The Gnomes are back with a fresh first look — and this time, we’re diving into two wildly different, but totally relatable, topics.
First, we tackle the hematoma — that mysterious bump or bruise (often on the shin!) that shows up after a knock. Is it dangerous? How long does it last? When should you worry?
Then, we switch gears to something every parent will understand: toddlers who are obsessed with YouTube videos of Brio trains and toy playthroughs. Why are kids so mesmerized by strangers playing with toys online — and what does it mean?
It’s a weird, wonderful, and informative return to regular Gnome programming.
We're back with our usual mix of personal mishaps, parenting adventures, and random facts as we dive into Season Four, Episode Four.
• One host details an impressive home renovation injury - a lemon-sized hematoma from falling onto a fence post while building a wall
• Children's YouTube channels featuring wooden train sets and toy cars emerge as unexpected parenting discussion topics
• Struggles with parents trying to use technology to listen to podcasts provide comedic relief
• Tips shared on finding affordable Brio train sets for toddlers, though they apparently hold their value well
• The podcast is mysteriously ranking for search terms like "children's television" and "historical curiosities"
• Parenting advice: YouTube can be good in moderation, but monitor content carefully

Season 3 Grand FINALE
Join us at the bottom of the garden for a first look at;
- Universal Studios London
- Beast Games
- Switch 2
- E-Bikes
and the usual , Fishpond of Feedback, Gno-it-all Gnome and.... the bad jokes!
In the grand finale of Season 3, the First Look Gnomes celebrate with a spectacular (and spectacularly bad) Eminem parody that has everyone in stitches. "Lose Your 12th" might just be Williams' magnum opus as we wrap up twelve episodes of gnomish shenanigans!
The Fish Pond of Feedback reveals exciting news – our listeners have spoken, and the Gno-it-all-Gnome has received a resounding 67% vote to stay. But there's a twist! Our beloved gnome announces he's embarking on a worldwide journey in search of companionship and new experiences, dubbing it his "Wisdom is Lonely, Love Yourself" (WILLY) tour. While he won't be a regular fixture in Season 4, he promises postcards and voice notes from exotic locations around the globe.
Technology and entertainment take center stage with our First Looks. The Nintendo Switch 2 has been announced, promising GameCube compatibility that might reunite old friends for online Mario Kart Double Dash sessions. Meanwhile, Universal Studios plans to build a massive theme park in Bedfordshire by 2031, sparking debate about whether British customer service can match the American theme park experience. We also dive into the ethical dilemmas presented on Beast Games – would you take a guaranteed million dollars for yourself or risk it all for your team?
As we close the season with some genuinely terrible jokes, we tease upcoming e-bike adventures and potential format changes for Season 4. Whether you're a longtime listener or just discovering us, there's never been a better time to subscribe and join our gnomish community.

Ever wondered what happens when two dads combine their love of gardening, sports, and beer with the daily adventures of parenthood? Our latest episode takes you on a journey from a hilariously disastrous beer opening to ambitious Japanese garden designs and the quiet triumph of growing your first cucumber.
Williams shares his adventures at Plymouth Hoe and Britain's largest aquarium, where his two-year-old son's wide-eyed "hiya" greetings to fish remind us all how children transform ordinary experiences into magical discoveries. Meanwhile, our other host reveals plans for an elaborate Japanese garden complete with Acer trees and koi ponds—a project reflecting the patience and long-term thinking that parenthood often inspires.
The episode delivers surprisingly practical wisdom for fellow dads: gardening isn't just about plants, it's about finding rare moments of uninterrupted solitude. "If I'm outside gardening, I can get three to four hours without seeing any of them," one host confesses, while explaining how children need nothing more elaborate than pebbles or bits of food to fuel their boundless imagination.
Perhaps most touching is the moment when a lifelong dream comes true—Newcastle United finally winning a trophy after 30 years of waiting—only to be immediately overshadowed by a toddler's encounter with a table corner. This perfect encapsulation of parenthood's priority-shifting power reminds us that the greatest victories are sometimes the smallest ones.
Join us for laughter, insights, and the kind of authentic dad conversations that make you feel less alone in your parenting journey. Whether you're designing gardens, visiting aquariums, or just trying to open a stubborn beer can, we're right there with you.

Walliams takes the plunge with a robust 8.4% double IPA from North Brewery, while Mr. Hodgkiss opts for something less intoxicating.
We then whisk you away on a fantastic, ice-filled adventure to Disney on Ice in Belfast, where the magic of childhood classics gets a fresh spin. You’ll hear all about the antics and costs of enjoying a Disney spectacle with family, including the shock from a Maui hook that could rival a small fortune. As a bonus, we throw in a quick jab at "The Masked Singer," a show with a format so baffling it makes us nostalgic for simpler TV pleasures. It's family fun and puzzling TV in equal measure.
Finally, prepare for a trip back in time to the days of "Thomas the Tank Engine" and "Stars in Their Eyes."

Ever sprained an ankle while playing with a dog or tried moving a sofa through a too-narrow doorway?...
In our grand finale of season two, we share the hilariously unplanned and chaotic moments that have shaped our journey. From savouring the rich flavours of Vocation Brewery's Double Tonka Frappe Coffee Stout to recounting our mishaps and near-disasters, this episode is a rollercoaster of humour and camaraderie. We also take a moment to appreciate our loyal 'Fab 50' listeners and our growing international audience, including new friends from Kensington, Germany, and Cairo.
As we ponder this and other reasons for our season break, we look forward to launching a website and bringing in a Forbes-listed guest for season three. We're also planning a meet-up in October, where we might record some special audio snippets for you. Amid the banter, we discuss the logistical challenges of moving house while balancing parenting, the value of good beer, and the quirky joys of life. Plus, we've got some nostalgic stories about past injuries and humorous dad anecdotes that you won't want to miss.
Finally, we wrap up with some unexpected first looks, including a luxurious sailing yacht, All Saints' first African store in Cairo, and the UK's first Museum of Illusions in Manchester. Amid the playful critiques and last-minute scrambles that shaped this episode.
We share some wholesome dad jokes to leave you in stitches. As we bid farewell, we express our heartfelt gratitude for your support and remind you to stay in touch via email or Instagram. Until next season, stay tuned and keep the laughter alive!

Ever wondered if an AI could outshine Shakespeare in the poetry department? Well, we put it to the test .....
This episode is a tapestry of laughter and nostalgia, from the art of crafting poems with a technological co-pilot, to the absurdity of British beer names – and yes, we've got a pint of 'Piddle' in hand to prove it. We're your friendly neighbourhood gnomes, conjuring up verbal spells and raising our glasses to the weekend vibes that make every recording session a treasure trove of giggles and jest.
Have you ever marked a personal milestone by peeling a banana? That's exactly what happened in one of our conversations.
Join us for a jaunt along the picturesque North Cornwall coast, complete with a furry companion and the infamous scone debate – because whether cream or jam comes first, it's a matter of delicious importance.
As we wrap up, we venture into the curious world of children's television, where the surreal escapades of Baby Jake become a springboard for our own zany show ideas. But it's not all fun and games; we also take a moment to respond to our listeners' heartfelt dilemmas, offering fatherly advice and sporting predictions with our signature blend of humour and sincerity. So settle in for an episode that's as comforting as a family gathering, as surprising as an unexpected fact, and as rich in character as the cosiest Cornish cream tea...

First Look Gnomes TEASER TRAILER
Everyone wants to learn something new, but not everyone wants to sit down and read a bunch of nonsense - so why not listen to some instead? Chuck in some random facts and a couple of Dad jokes, and you'll be full of (potentially useless) knowledge in no time.
Whether all of it is true is part of the gnomery.
Join Cornishman Dan Williams in the shed at the bottom of his garden, in Cornwall, and Wulfrunian (a man from Wolverhampton apparently) Craig Hodgkiss from his kitchen in Belfast, as they take a first look at the relatively unknown and learn some stuff from each other and chat about life.
Dive into the First Look Gnome Universe every month and learn about random things you didn't even know you wanted to learn about! Fill some of your day with something interesting, engaging, and funny. That bit is a promise!
Welcome to the bottom of the garden.......'But what about the Gnomes?' I hear you cry!
Good things come to gnomes who wait. And ones that rate, review and subscribe :)
