Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th December 2024

29th December, 2024.

It’s officially Sunday … and I’m really thinking I should have more sleep … !

Let’s just said I had a late night phone call, shall we?

And leave it there!

In other news … ?

I’ve finally managed to post my written and video reviews of this year’s Dr Who Christmas special, Joy to the World.

The written version is here.

The video version is embedded, below … 

Hopefully?

My belief that Joy isn’t the companion will get a comment or two …

Dr Who Anniversary Specials — Wild Blue Yonder — A Review

2nd December: an introduction.

Right … 

Any minute now, I’m going to be eating a bacon sandwich: for lunch.

This evening?

I’ll be having an early dinner … then watching “Wild Blue Yonder”, the next Doctor Who 60th anniversary special episode.

I’ll have this review done, by tomorrow night!

Hopefully?

You’ll be back to read it: or to watch the video review!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-7-2023 — Bernard Cribbins.

28th July, 2023: Bernard.

Right … I have to confess to feeling a bit … stressed.

Although maybe I should add some emphasis, there, and right it as stressed.

Today is, after all, the day I’m due to have my Pay-as-you-Go utility meters replaced.

I am as nervous as anything.

After all, for me, these things are very new technology.

~≈¥≈~

At any rate … ?

The engineer’s due, today.

Between now, and twelve.

Here’s hoping it’s quick: and easy to set up.

~≈¥≈~

Either way?

If this post is up late?

It’s because The engineer’s turned off the electricity …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th December, 2022.

29th December, 2022.

Thursdays always seem to be the day for it, don’t they?

No specific its.

Just its in general.

Or possibly it’s.

At any rate … ?

I’ve got to make sure I stay in, this afternoon.

I’m expecting a call about the results from my last blood tests.

And expecting a delivery: the Dr Who series 2 bluray box set, and The Iron Legion, the collected first stories from Dr Who Weekly.

Here’s hoping they’re over and done, quickly.

The Daily Teaser — 29-12-2015

Good lord, Lemmy’s died … !

I don’t know if you’re ever one for some of the … uhhh … harder forms of rock music.

But over the years?

You, like I, wouldn’t have missed Motorhead: quite possibly the fastest, loudest, heavy metal band on Planet Earth.

You’d’ve probably also heard a few of Motorhead’s songs.

Once heard … ?   Not forgotten.

The man behind both the vocals, and basslines?   Has died.

The world will be a quieter place.

Sadly.

RIP, Lemmy.

Just a thought …

Just as a quick; – I’ll admit I’m looking forward to the “Doctor Who” special, “Planet of the Dead”, tonight.   But you’d guessed that, hadn’t you?

I’ll probably post up what I think about, it, later, but I was listening to the Jonathon Ross show, on Radio 2, this morning.   Which had David Tennant and Catherine Tate, as guest presenters.   So while they didn’t give away much of the plot, they did do a nod to the show’s oldest semi-regular guest actor, Bernard Cribbins.

By playing his 1963 hit, “Right Said Fred”.

Which was fun to hear, again.

But, here’s what someone managed to put on YouTube …

I want to know is just one simple thing.   What on Earth were Bernard, Fred and Charlie trying to shift?

No, seriously, what was it?

Nobody I know, knows …

But, at any rate, I’d also recommend you check out Planet Gallifrey; Jesse does seem to dig hold of some good stuff.
