  • Universal Studios in the UK? Season 3 Ends with Big News & Bad Jokes
    May 15 2025

    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. Email your first looks and feedback to firstlookgnomes@outlook.com – and if you want to reach our traveling gnome, just put "Willy" in the subject line!
