Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-10-2017: I Love Lucy,

Bleugh … 

It’s incredibly early on a Sunday morning.

And I’d like to ask a question … 

Well, an extra question.

What AM I doing up, this early?

It’s comparatively easy to answer: I’m at work, early.

Oy … 

Veh … !

Have a good day.

*        Lore … ?   I have to admit, that’s a new one on me, Olga‡ … !   The Wikipedia page says it’s an anthology series?   Looks like American Horror Story is having an effect!   (The one Amazon series I have seen is The Man in the High Castle: which is very good!)

†        Oh, blimey, there’s a series I haven’t seen in a while, Debbi^: The Saint!   The Roger Moore version used to get repeated, when I was younger: but the version I grew up on was Return of the Saint: with Ian Ogilvy.   Oh … and the tune by Splodgenessabounds … 

†        I think I read somewhere, Olga, that there were plans for Star Trek Discovery to be an anthology: couldn’t tell you for sure, though.

^        Sounds a bit like The War on Terror, Debbi: it’s been … counterproductive.
