The Daily Teaser — 11-2-2015

Hmmm … 

Did I tell you I’m something of a fan of the TV eerie, Gotham?

You’ve possibly worked that out.

Something that’s annoyed me is the simple fact that the US tv channel that makes it has put on a mid season break.

Which annoys the life out of me.

However … ?

I did notice a tweet go past on my timeline: from actor, Sean Pertwee, who plays Alfred in the series.   This one … 

Winging my way home to @Gotham at the crack of dawn.. Enjoy 'Scarecrow' tonight #theymeet @robinlordtaylor @mister_CMS

Seems as if the series is back on, in the US.

But on, over here.

@seanpertwee @Gotham @robinlordtaylor @mister_CMS why can't I find out when #Gotham is back on @channel5_tv @Channel5Press

As that tweet shows.

Still … ?

Nice to know things are moving onwards.

Here’s hoping!

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To

, License and video …

Q5) Finally … 11th February, 1929, saw Italy sign the Lateran Treaty: with whom?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

I’ll leave you with this thought …

Mary Quant, born 11 February, 1934.

And this tune … 

Have a good day.
