Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23-11-2020: Dr Who

23rd November, 2020.

It’s official: I’ve seen episode three of Star Trek Discovery’s third series.

And, it has to be said, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it!

Keep your eyes peeled for it, it’s rather good.

The downside to me finishing the video fairly late in the evening?

I still feel shattered this morning.

Which is awkward: it’s pay-day.

Which means trudging into town to stop, pay bills, and make phone calls!

~≈¥≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor*, Olga†, Mum‡ and Debbi^ putting in their answers: with Olga, Trevor and Debbi scoring five out of five, and Mum on four.

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 …

“We’d better keep an eye on him. He seems to have a knack of getting himself into trouble.”

Ian Chesterton (William Russell) in Episode one of The Daleks.

A song …

A theme …

And a very familiar sound effectª …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Through the old Brunel subway, Trevor?   I think I vaguely remember going through it, myself, many years ago.

Say hi to Penny for me, next time you see her!

†        I’m keeping my fingers crossed, Olga!   And yes, I had seen that chap’s story: a feel-good story’s always good!

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        Nice to know, Debbi!

ª        It’s not often you get to hear the complete sound effect in the modern series.
