Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th October 2025.

6th October, 2026.

Yes, it’s officially official: I have a cheap USB stick, on that I can wave at passing readers!

These day’s … ?

It’s still handy to have a few of them, around: which is why I’m taking it to my weight management meeting, today.

I’ve been asked for copies of things … 

~≈🥖≈~

There’s talk — inevitably — that more lost episodes of Dr Who have been found.

Or, at least, that lost episodes are in the hands of private collectors: and may be made available to the BBC.

I hope so.

With ninety-seven episodes missing, it would be nice to see complete lost stories found.

Marco Polo, The Mythmakers, and Fury From the Deep would be nice to see.

The third episode of The Web of Fear would be great: the animated replacement is awful.

But … ?

I’d love to see The Daleks’ Master Plan, completed.

Ands The Space Pirates!

Its writer, Robert Holmes?

Was one of TV’s finest.

Let’s move on.


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.



Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Q1)        6th October is the feast day of Saint Faith.   She’s the patron saint of whom: prisoners, spies or Germans?

Q2)        6th October is also the day members of the Anglican Communion mark the death of William Tyndale.   Tyndale was one of the first people to translate what into English?

Q3)        Euridice had its premiere on 6th October, 1600.   Euridice is the earliest known what to have survived: opera, play or ballet?

Q4)        The planet, 51 Pegasi b, was discovered on 6th October.   Of which year of the 1990s?

Q5)        Finally … ?   Jarrod Moseley was born on 6th October, 1972.   He plays what: tennis, golf, or Australian-Rules Football?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1)        “Love Me Do” was released on 5th October.   Of which year of the 1960s?

A1)        1962.

Q2)        The song was the first single by whom: the Beatles, the Who or the Rolling Stones?

A4)        “PS I Love You”.

Q5)        Finally … ?   Who produced “Love Me Do”: Joe Meek, George Martin or Trevor Horn?

A5)        George Martin.   (George Martin, rather than George R. R. Martin: George Martin is the producer, George R. R. Martin is the writer behind what eventually became Game of Thrones.)

Here’s a thought …

“This is not meant to have happened to me at all. I am a Sloane, from the Chilterns

Emily Mortimer, (born 6th October, 1971) on her acting career.

And a song …

The next ten question set is on 24th October: it’s about Zambia

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum … !

†        I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, Olga!   I’ve got to head to town, again, for a dentists appointment.   So I’m hoping it rains, neither time!

‡        I’m missing the show, entirely, Debbi!   We still have no news about a restart, or a date for The War Between Land and Sea … and there’s little definite news about missing episodes!

        Heigh ho!
