The Daily Teaser …

Phew!

It’s another early start, today.

And for the same reason’s as on Tuesday: I’ve got an interview, today.

Although this one’s in Chelmsford, rather than than Kentish Town, and sounds — as of here and now — a touch more legitimate than Tuesday’s one …

But I’m burbling, aren’t I?

And rather nervously, at that …

Oh, well, here’s hoping …

Let’s get moving on, shall we … ?

Yes, let’s … !

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor and Andrea both getting 7 out of 7 — and getting me checking me sources, I’d had Twin Peaks down as an answer — and @MamaAlfy admitting she was stumped, again!

Maybe today, Angela!

Trevor, Andrea, Simon, what do you think?
