Nik Nak’s Daily teaser — 22nd October, 2018

22nd October, 2018.

Yes, it’s official: if you watch that video, you’re looking at the face of late night blogging.

After last night’s episode of Dr Who?

I finished writing the post at one in the morning.

Hopefully?

That’s not reflected in the post’s grammar.

At ANY rate … ?

With much of a strong opening, closing, writing, acting … ?

With THAT much of a take on social realism?

Rosa is possibly new Dr Who’s best episode …
