Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th April, 2022.

18th April, 2022.

Right … I managed to catch Legend of the Sea Devils, last night.

My written review will go live, later tonight: the video review, not long after.

But … ?

I was caught by the teaser trailer at the end: for Jodie Whittaker’s last episode.

A couple of the cast of the episode caught my eye.

Yep: it looks like Sophie Aldred and Janet Fielding are back, however temporarily, as Ace and Tegan.

According to the Daily Mail, Dr Who fans are ‘hyped.’

I’m not!

I’m just looking forward it.

I’ll tell you something else, too.

I’d love to see the Behind the Sofa for this one!

*        Hello, Mum!

†        The UK version’s been going for years, Debbi: its original leader, Screaming’ Lord Sutch, was the UK’s longest serving party leader at one point.   The group caused the old SDP to disband: the Raving Loonies beat them in a local election.

        Now … about the Republicans … … … 

‡        You know, I don’t know that the Warm Home Discount is means tested, Trevor: I think you’d qualify because of what benefits you’re getting: rather than how much.   But I’ll take you’re word for it.

        Nice to know vote spoiling’s catching on.   (My ward’s also got the usual three suspects.)
