Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th November 2025.

15th November, 2025.

Right … there’s been an announcement!

The BBC has announced that the first two episodes of The War Between Land and Sea will air in the UK on Sunday, 7th December.

With Russell T. Davies telling us that the remaining three episodes will air over the following two weeks.

Going by the publicity I’ve seen, so far … ?

It will air on Disney+, outside the UK: in 2026.

~≈🌊≈~

Now … I have to admit, I’m looking forward to The War Between Land and Sea.

Even though I, like many fans, had issues with the finales of Ncuti’s two series.

Generally?

Russell T. Davies could do very good Whoniverse-theme Spin-offs.

But one thing I have noticed?

Is that this spin-off will air, internationally, in 2026.

I think that difference in dates is going to cause problems.

Is going to cause people to look for the episodes on torrent tracking sites like Pirate Bay.

That’s not something we should be encouraging* …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14-11-2025 — World Diabetes Day

14th November, 2025: World Diabetes Day.

Bugger!

I had an extremely funny introductory video done for today’s post!

One full of wit, humour, and satirical observations about politics!

But … ?

But I managed to bin it, and empty the bin, before Time Machine managed to back up my system, and save it.

Remind me to no kick myself: I’d miss!

~≈⏰≈~

The BBC’s been covering it all morning.

Seemingly?

Sky TV are to start broadcasting a UK version of the venerable US comedy series, Saturday Night Live: and are assembling the team as we speak.

It may do well … 

But … ?

I think Saturday Live/Friday Night Live— the UK series that made stars out of many UK comics — has been forgotten in all the excitement.

~≈☭≈~

Just so everyone knows?

I’ve got two ten question sets due: on the 5th and 17th, of December.

And have just finished the twelve question review of 2025: due on the 31st December.

Hopefully, you’ll enjoy them!

~≈⌘≈~

As a final thought … ?

You’ll remember I’ve objections to the Government’s proposed Digital ID scheme?

I’ve objections to the Government’s proposed Digital ID scheme: mostly based on cost.

There’s some good news about it: the petition on the UK government’s website has had something of an effect.

The proposal will be discussed in the House of Commons on 8th December, this year.

Hopefully, the whole silly idea will be scrapped.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th November 2025.

13th November, 2025.

Yep: I’ve got Radio Four’s Today programme on.

And, yes, the show’s reporting an interesting historical note.

According to an upcoming programme on Channel Four, DNA testing has been what’s left of Adolf Hitler.

Apparently, he had a condition that meant he was more likely to have various neurological conditions.

And an undescended testicle.

If true?

It means we can start singing Colonel Bogey … … 

~≈⚽️≈~

Apple — the computer company — seems to generate rumours.

One of the latest?

Is that it’s supposed to be releasing a low end, budget, MacBook: with an A-series system-on-a-chip.

I wouldn’t expect to be able to afford such a thing: even if it is Apple’s budget option.

But … ?

A body can dream.

After all, it would be nice to own a mobile Mac … and be an improvement on the iPhone sock … 

~≈🍎≈~

As a last thought … ?

There’s a magazine called MacWorld doing the round: it’s been available for many years.

And … ?

One of their infomercial pieces floated across my timeline, a couple of days ago.

Apparently?

You can, with their help, get a dollar-denominated copy of Microsoft Office at just under sixty dollars ($60).

About forty-five pounds (£45), in real money.

Personally?

I’d be turning that down, even if I had the cash.

There’s more than enough free software around, software that opens MS Office files, to make spending the money a stupid move.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-11-2025 — Plymouth.

12th November, 2025: Plymouth.

Wouldn’t you know it … ?

I got my dates mixed up!

I had thought my gas safety check was due, yesterday.

It wasn’t until I opened my emails, yesterday, and got a reminder … that I realised the thing was supposed to be today.

Where do I put my face … ?

~≈🤦🏼‍♂️≈~

As it turns out … ?

Nowhere!

Robert Heath — my landlord’s boiler contractor — have just phoned.

Apparently, their tradesman is off, for some reason.

So they’ve rescheduled for two weeks time.

Ho … … … hum!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-11-2025 — The Armistice

11th November, 2025: the Armistice.

Right … I’m officially indoors all morning.

Yes: you’re right.

It’s the laughing, happy time of year, when my landlords sent around a man: to do my gas safety check!

Ho … hum … !

~≈♨️≈~

Did I mention I caught Wizards, the other night?

I caught the Ralph Bakshi directed film, Wizards, the other night.

And … ?

Well, I think my written, and video, reviews could something things up better than I could, right now.

I know this, though: it was nice getting comments, so quickly.

~≈🧙🏽≈~

Oh, I’ve just had a quick look at the Essex news section of the BBC’s news site.

Apparently?

A team lead by a University of Essex researcher has discovered what the team refers to as a ‘carnivorous death ball’ in the Antarctic Ocean.

Which is nice: possibly.

But … ?

I can’t help but think ‘carnivorous death ball’ sounds like a cheesy heavy metal band …
