The Daily Teaser — 1-12-2013

Hmmm … 

That’s sort of nice to know … 

I have to admit, it was rather naughty of me to post a copyrighted clip to YouTube.

But the clip in question … ?

The clip in question I called Mind Bending: and it’s the scene — from The Brain Of Morbius — that shows Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor facing the monstrously revived evil genius, Morbius, in a mind wrestling match.

What with the recent Day Of The Doctor special having stirred up the discussion on the amount of Doctors, the clip’s seen a few comments posted.

Feel free to add another … 

At ANY rate?   Let’s move on …

Woody Allen, born December 1, 1935.

*        I will, Debbi, when I see her: I’m expecting her to drop some leaflet’s off, this month.   Oh, this is the book I was talking about.

If you come across a copy in a car-boot sale or thrift shop, it’s probably worth picking up: for starters, it’s worth a LOT more than the 2 shillings and sixpence cover price.
