Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-2-2020: SFTV

11th February, 2020.


Yep: I officially need to clean my socks.

Strange: but true!

Frankly, you can tell the lack of a job’s getting to me.

When the most exciting thing I have to do … ?

Is laundry!

Well … 

Apart from my bedtime reading.

Orwell’s The Lion and the Unicorn, since you ask.

Granted, I’m taking my time with it: the last time I mentioned it was at the end of January.

What caught my eye, last night?

Was simply Orwell’s description of government officials.

He said they had ‘prehensile bottoms.’

Well … it made me smile!

As another quick thought?   One that seems appropriate, given the theme of today’s Teaser.

Was simply the most recent episode of Dr Who, Can You Hear Me?

I mentioned one scene, in my review: where Ryan (Toisin Cole) and Yas (Mandip Gill) end up discussing their travels with the Doctor: whether they the going the right thing in staying.

Which got me wondering all sorts of things.   I wondered if — given how similar that scene seemed to others* — whether the pair would be staying on, beyond this season.

I didn’t make much of it: beyond publicly speculating when any pay off would come.

I’m not the only one wondering about that … 

It’s seems the Daily Express has been thinking the same way.

We’ll have to see what happens, won’t we?
