The Daily Teaser …

I know, I know …

But I couldn’t resist it … !!

After all, you’ve probably worked out I’m a bit of a DoctorWho fan, hadn’t you?

Tough, if you haven’t!

And, given that today marks the anniversary of the show’s first broadcast, back in 1963, I couldn’t resist putting something together, for the Teaser.

I just hope no-one has too much trouble with it …

He says, grinning, evilly … !!

But my regular Teaser fans can be reassured that’s still something there for you.

But before I get to the meat of today’s set, I think everyone gets congratulated for getting 10 out of 10, in yesterday’s teaser, with Trevor getting the Official First-In Clap; for the third day in a row, if I’ve got it right!
