Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th April, 2021.

30th April, 2021.

Right … 

First things first: I caught the news, last night.

It seems actor, director, producer and Dr Who star, Noel Clarke?

Has had his membership of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, BAFTA: and had an award he won, at the recent BAFTA awards.

The allegations?   Are listed in an article on the Guardian’s website: and have been made — anonymously — to the Academy, itself.

The Academy say’s emails have given no evidence.

If proven true?   It’s a terrible shame: as Noel is an authentic film talent.

We’ll have to see.

Did I mention I’m ripping a box set?   Of the twelfth series of classic Dr Who.

I’m ripping a bo … yeah, you can see where that sentence is heading!

It has to be said: the CGI replacement effects in Revenge of the Cybermen look good.

Here’s hoping the rest of the set look as good.

Wonder Woman ’84: A Review.

28th December, 2020.

Right … 

It’s late — is — on a Monday night: and I’ve just seen a rather enjoyable movie.

One I’m going to tell you more about, in the morning.

But?

Yes: I have seen Wonder Woman ’84.

And yes: it’s enjoyable!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th April, 2018

30th April, 2018

Yes: it’s a Monday, it’s the start of the week … 

And it’s the start of a week where I’m working every day of it.

Yes.   That’s not necessarily the best arrangement.

I am, after all, going to need some time off!

Right at the moment … ?

Working stupid hours is a case of ‘needs must.’

Especially given the seasonal nature of the job: where I never know what my shifts are, until the week before … 

~≈§≈~

Whilst I’m here … ?

I’ve a confession to make.

Or something I feel I should remind you off: as it caught my ear, today.

By default, I always have BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on, at this time of the morning.

Its mix of reporting, analysis and opinion — and habit of giving interviewees a serious grilling* — is very comforting … and less distracting than the BBC news channel.

But occasionally, they have an odd moment.

A few years ago?

They were the people who first mentioned who this Youtube thing … now was home to what was then the world’s most watched video.

What’s they’ve managed to mention, today?

Is simply that one of the Jack the Ripper letters — one sent to Ealing Police station, in 1888 — is being auctioned off.

Personally?

I’ve a feeling the thing’s a hoax, as many of the Ripper letters must be.

But I’d be interested to hear how much it sells for.

I’d be even MORE interested … if someone actually found definitive proof of who the Ripper was …

Wonder Woman: Not Perfect, but very watchable

5th October, 2017

You know, I’m feeling vaguely rushed, tonight.

Rushed … and nervous.

Frankly?

I’ve had the day off, today.

And was expecting a rather important call.

Which hasn’t happened, yet.

So I’m expecting all sorts!

On top of that?   I have an early start, tomorrow.

Ideally, I should be getting an early night, because of that.

But … ?

I did want to tell you I’d seen something, tonight.

That’s right … 

Wonder Woman.
