Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th May, 2022.

10th May, 2022.

Yes: you’re right!

I’m up early, again.

I’ve got a dentist appointment.

Just a check up, so you know: but it’s early enough that an early start seems appropriate.

If I end up with all my teeth, and end up with toothpaste, I’ll be up on the day.

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        The new Doctor Who, you mean, Olga?   He’s going to shake things up, a bit.   We’ll have to see what happens in 2023, when he takes over.   I don’t know if there’ll be a Christmas/New Years special with him, though.

        I know what you mean about boilers!   Mine took a while to get replaced!

        The sad thing … ?   I never actually heard Sir Terry’s radio show: but DO remember the TV show.   The David Icke interview is notorious!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        He’ll do well, I hope, Debbi.   I’m just wondering who they didn’t hire!   Oh: I think Jodie’s last episode will air the weekend of the 16th and 17th October.   The BBC’s centenary is on the 18th October, this year: which is a Monday.   Whether we get a Christmas/New Years special?   Is a whole other matter.
