Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-5-2021: Audrey

4th May, 2021

Did I mention I like snooker?

I like snooker … so you know.

And was watching the final of the World Championship, last night.

I went to bed: when Mark Selby was ahead, 17-13, against Shaun Murphy.

With the thought then Selby would’ve won, by the time I got up.

Lo, and behold … ?

He had.

I love being able to do that … 

~≈Ê≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

Let’s see how they, and you, does with today’s questions, shall we?

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

“I never thought I’d land in pictures with a face like mine.”

Audrey Hepburn.

And a playlist: that Audrey’s not in … …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Well done, him, then Trevor: they’re notoriously picky!   And we’re getting wind, alright: it’s looking blowing, out …

†        I’ll keep my fingers crossed for Little Anna, then, Olga: the consequences could get nasty.

The Savoy’s supposed to be quite a venue: a lot of these old theatres are.   I don’t think it — or the Dominion, where I worked — have caverns like the Paris Opera House¹ supposedly has, but they have all sorts of corners.

‡        Happy Birthday, Mum … !

^        You’ll have to sit Rick down with Genesis of The Daleks, and The Talons of Weng Chiang, Debbi.   They’re generally seen as THE classic stories.   The confrontation between the Doctor and Davros in episode 5?   And the ‘Do I have that right,’ scene in Episode 6?   Burnt themselves into my head, forty-six years ago, and are still there … (Oh, I thought I’d do something different, today …)

ª        Oh, didn’t he just, Edith?!   And Michael Crawford did it all himself: he didn’t have a stunt double²!      (Cheers, Edith: I’m glad I’m doing something right!)

¹        Apparently?   The real Palais Garnier has no caves under it, Olga: there’s what Wikipedia calls a cistern, under the stage.

²        I don’t think they could film that scene, today, Edith: I think the insurance would be too expensive.
