Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-1-2019: X-Ray Specs

18th January, 2019.

Yes: it’s depressingly the case.

I’ve had three interviews in the past fortnight.

And got word, last night, that the remaining company … didn’t want me.

It’s the usual excuse: they’d found other, more suitable, candidates.

It’s depressing.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd July, 2018.

3rd July, 2018.

Yep: it has to be said, I’ve been recording the various episodes of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, now, for … 

Well, a long time.

And have quite a few in my iTunes library.

So missing one … ?

Is a bit of a git … !

Still … ?   I’m listening to the version on iPlayer radio: and my word, it’s good!

Remind me to record the repeat on Sunday: there’s a game of Mornington Crescent involved!

Remember, a few days ago, that a clip was leaked?

One from the upcoming first episode of series 11 of Dr Who?   Jodie Whittaker’s first?

Well, the BBC have asked the first site that aired the clip to produce records to show who uploaded it.

With a view to prosecute.

Fair enough.

It’d be nice to know who did it.

But I’m ALSO thinking that this sort of thing is par for the digital course.

After all, it’s why the US ambassador complained to the Australian government: Australia’s the world’s biggest pirates of Game of Thrones.

It’s why — pre internet — the makers of Dallas made sure the prints of Who Done It? were transported around the world with extremely tight security.

So it’s not surprising.

After all … Aunty’s already prosecuted someone for leaking, before now …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-7-2016

Dear me … 

They’s dropping like flies, from the flies … 

If you’re a film fan in the UK, you’ll have awoken to the news that Michael Cimino — the man who directed The Deer Hunter — has died at the age of seventy-seven.

Not that I’d ever seen it: I should maybe point it on my bucket list.

One film I HAVE seen … ?   Is Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man.   It’s an utter classic: and one, I feel, would be hard to re-make today.    In spite of efforts to do so.

Robin Hardy … ?   Died yesterday … 

When you realise comedian, writer and actress,Caroline Ahearne died, yesterday?

You, like me, are probably wondering who’s next …
