Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th July, 2021.

26th July, 2021.

Yes: it’s officially nice, bright, sunny, and positively tropical, out.

He says, turning up the irony knobs to eleven.

It’s actually looking distinctly overcast: with the possibility of a lot of rain.

Saying that?   I don’t think my part of Brentwood’s had more than five minutes of drizzle all of yesterday.

Which is odd.

Especially when you consider parts of London — which isn’t that far away — were flooded, yesterday …

You’re possibly aware I’m a Dr Who fan: and have been for years.

One who’s currently ripping the blu-ray box set of the shoe’s twenty-fourth season: Time and the Rani to Dragonfire, so you know.

The set has two discs for each of the four stories.

I’m just finishing Time and the Rani: and it seems typical of the set.

The first disc has scaled up versions of the broadcast versions of the stories, plus a lot — a lot — of extras.

The second disc — or, at least, the second disc of the Time and the Rani discs — has extended versions of the story.

Plus both raw studio and location footage.

Seven hours worth of raw studio and location footage!

I know some will be happy to see it.

Personally?   I think that much footage is possibly pushing it!
