Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-7-2017

Now that’s sad … 

Deborah Watling has died!

The actress played Victoria opposite Patrick Troughton’s Second Doctor: back in 1967 and 1968.

AND cropped up in The Newcomers, Rising Damp and Danger UXB.

She’ll be missed.

~≈Â≈~

Had I thought of it, last night?

Had I thought of it, last night, I’d’ve possible sat in with some of Ms Watling’s Dr Who stories: the only two that survive are The Tomb of the Cybermen and The Enemy of the World survive in complete form.

I didn’t, eventuality.

Instead?

I went for the opening two episodes of The Man in the High Castle.

Hmmm … 

I don’t know if I’m totally convinced, yet.

It is, after all, rather slow.

But is something I’ll be watching more of.

~≈Â≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Well, that’s ME embarrassed, Olga!   Remind me to try and avoid speaking Spanish!   :D   At ANY rate, I managed to catch the first two episodes of The Man In The High Castle, last night. I’m not sure I’m convinced: it IS a bit of a slow burner, after all.   I’m planning to give at least the first series a go, at least.

†        Never seen it, Debbi: although it’s been one of those that’s been floating around for a while.   Apparently, one of Yusuf’s songs — recorded back when he was Cat Stevens — was used in it.
