It’s a festive-packed episode of First Look Gnomes as we dive into everything from Christmas prep to retro gaming nostalgia.

This week we share practical Christmas tips for parents, explore The Retro Room in Belfast for a blast of classic gaming fun, and count down our Top 5 Arcade Games of all time — from pixel legends to button-mashing chaos.

We also take a first look at Labubus, the collectible craze popping up everywhere, and ask the important questions: what are they, why are people obsessed, and should parents be worried?

If you love Christmas planning, retro arcades, classic video games, toy trends, and funny, relatable parenting conversations, this episode is for you.

Perfect listening for dads, parents, gamers, and anyone who loves a nostalgic first look at what’s trending right now.

Join the First Look Gnomes for another week of hilarious and unexpected discoveries! We kick things off with a first look at Whitewater Brewery — one of Northern Ireland’s most loved craft breweries — before heading to the beautiful seaside town of Newcastle, County Down for some family-friendly exploring.

Things get weird (in the best way) when we drive the famous “Magic Road” at Spelga Dam, where your car appears to roll uphill. Optical illusion? Witchcraft? Gnome mischief? We investigate.

Back home, we dive into the chaotic fun of Power Hungry Pets, the card game currently taking families by storm, and then switch gears with a look at the hugely popular kids’ show Grace’s Amazing Machines.

If you’re into Northern Ireland travel, quirky road trip spots, craft breweries, family games, or kids’ TV reviews, this episode is packed with first looks worth checking out. Grab a cuppa (or a pint) and join the adventure!

This week on First Look Gnomes… we’re everywhere at once.
From nursery drop-offs to the madness of tradespeople turning a “quick job” into a two-week saga, we dive into the most relatable parts of real life — gnome-style.

Then it’s onto the screen:
💥 The Boys – the characters causing chaos, and why it’s still one of the wildest shows on TV.
🚔 Blue Lights – our first look at one of the most talked-about police dramas in the UK.

Whether you’re a parent, a TV binge machine, or someone who’s still waiting for a tradesperson to “pop back tomorrow,” there’s something here for you.

🎧 First Look Gnomes: discovering life’s firsts one laugh at a time.

Two dads swap a maddening tradesperson no-show story for the simple joy of TV escapes and a proud first look at nursery life. We talk clear communication, childcare costs, Belfast pride via Blue Lights, and the small wins that keep families steady.

• contractor missed appointments
• comfort TV as stress relief and connection
• The Boys, Gen V, Celebrity Traitors, Blue Lights
• Belfast locations and local pride
• nursery settling strategies
• colds, immunity, and realistic expectations
• childcare costs, policy gaps, and work balance
• Mario Kart moments and finding joy in small wins
