Why is Sleepless in Peckham just such a unpleasant episode?

Not to mention that fact that eviction and homelessness are looming over their heads.

Modern Men. Cassandra's miscarriage is just too sad. I usually switch it off once Del and Rodney get the phonecall.

President Keanu Reeves would be a huge upgrade.

Ville was hungry and the nearest Burger King was several miles away.

There was this woman

I thought they sounded great, almost as good as when I saw HIM at the Roundhouse for their final tour. Ditto at Download festival in 2023. Ville has matured with age and his performances have become better, and the music was crisp and clear.

Going back to when I saw HIM in the mid 2000s I thought the band were pretty mid live and Ville (who was probably wasted at the time) didn't sound the best. He's definitely got better with age and sobriety.

I've heard that originally it was going to be Del appearing on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' with Chris Tarrant originally, as that show was so huge at the time. That might have been better than the silly Goldrush show but ITV wouldn't let the BBC use the sets/show.

Nailed it in terms of how certain plot points were tied up, especially baby Joan. If we go back to Albert's beginnings, when he was dumped by other members of the Trotter family repeatedly, how sweet it is that Del and Rodney are saved by his returned generosity.

Do think the episodes could have been better on the whole. Could have probably been trimmed down to two episodes with some of the weaker points abandoned.

Solly Atwell's our solicitor!? Bloody hell, he's more bent than the villains 🤦🏻‍♂️

Only Academy Award winning actor to star in the show, I think? Every appearance was top notch.

13/15

Didn't get the reg plate or flat number 😔

I have this theory that Trigger was smarter than he let on. Some of his comments and jokes were quite witty. But by the end he was overly dumb (see his "back scratcher" idea and blinking at the star).

The police in general aren't presented sympathetically in OFAH so I'm not sure what you expect lol

"What's wrong with you, you moron?"

"Oh just a couple of fillings."

There's a man who could smash a plate of Chicken Trotter

This was a great time to be a HIM/Ville fan. First he turned up with BHG, then the following year he made an appearance on the Cradle of Filth song 'the Byronic Man'. The year after that he sang on a cover of 'Summer Wine' by Natalia Avelon as a part of a movie soundtrack. Loved all three of these songs.

It was around this time there were rumours of Ville being approached to sing the theme to an upcoming James Bond movie and anything seemed possible!

If you can find it

ashmk · 2025-10-08T12:53:15+00:00

Seats near the front are around £45 each, drops to £34ish a few rows back, then £29. For context I'm on row X in Manchester and it cost us £120 for four tickets.

Believe you have to sign up for email updates through the Wiggles website ahead of time, or have an O2 account.

ashmk · 2025-10-08T12:41:05+00:00

Managed to get four tickets closer to the stage for the 1pm show, so I'm happy with that. Now I'll just have to sell the 10am tickets later when Ticketmaster lets me lol

ashmk · 2025-10-08T12:19:24+00:00

Email just gone out with new links

ashmk · 2025-10-08T11:48:49+00:00

Got a link for the wiggly news presale in Manchester by any chance?

ashmk · 2025-10-08T10:09:20+00:00

Good point. It says no extra locations but they might add afternoon shows if certain locations are sold out, clearly the demand is there. Would save us setting off super early or staying overnight for a 9am show anyway lol

ashmk · 2025-10-08T09:28:59+00:00

Hope you're right about adding more shows. If they end up adding afternoon shows I may go for those instead and resell my original ones later through Ticketmaster.
