Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd October, 2018

23rd October, 2018.

Yep: it’s another day, another dollar … 

And another day thinking I should be watching Rosa, again.

That was one HELL of an impressive episode.

And one that’s seen a lot of discussion on Twitter.

Something I know for myself: having seen the reaction to my write up about it … 

OK, @Dark_Blue_Box @AuthorSJB @debbimack @DWfan9 @whofalldifan @wtr240175 @DaftPhully @Greebobek @dsmom09 @SirJakeB

I don’t THINK there’s spoilers.

But don’t read my write until you’ve seen #Rosa, hey?https://t.co/cx4QALOgnY

Nut? I THINK I’ve just seen NuWho’s best episode

It’s fascinating stuff to be part of … 

If you’ve read it, or commented … ?

Thank you!

Oh, JUST as a thought … ?

Apparently, there’s now more fast-food places on our streets.

As someone who’s over weight?

I agree, it’s bad.

The frightening research shows the more take-aways, the higher the obesity levels.

The problem IS … ?

Most of the ones around here are fairly cheap.

On my money … ?

A hot dinner that’s cheaper than a healthy sandwich … ?

Is an attractive option …

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.

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

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …

Here’s a thought …

“But if I was sitting around, as the majority of actors and actresses are today for an acting role to come along, then I’d never work unless I did horror films and sex films.”

Diana Dors, 23 October 1931 – 4 May 1984.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Oh, I’m planning a good old fashioned siesta, at some point, Olga: my head would be yawned off if I didn’t … !   (As you can tell?   Rosa’s had a lot of reaction …)

†        Rosa’s strong stuff, Debbi: I’m still thinking it’s possibly the best episode of New Doctor Who ever made ….  As strong as Rosa is, Arachnids in the UK looks like it’ll focus on Yas, which is about time.   (Spiders, again … wouldn’t be the first tome the show’s looked at spiders …)
