  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: The casting of Andy Serkis as Ian Dury in the recent film. He even re-recorded several old songs with the Blockheads themselves.
  • Ear Worm: Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse:
    • To the surprise of the promoters, the Blockheads turned out to be the breakout stars of the Live Stiffs tour rather than Elvis Costello.
    • Within the band, bassist Norman Watt-Roy has practically been the Face of the Band since Dury's death (mainly because he's a very good player).
