Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th November 2023.

16th November, 2023.

Right … it’s now Thursday: the day before Friday.

When BBC 1 will be airing it’s Children-in-Need Telethon.

Frankly?

The Dr Who special that’s due to air, as part of it, looks interesting.

Especially as one featured character looks like he’s wearing a Genesis of the Daleks era uniform.

A Genesis of the Daleks era, Kaled, uniform.

This could be interesting.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        I think that’s always the thing with politics, Olga.   Whatever they do, someone’s not happy!   There was a big vote in the House of Commons, last night: about the Gaza situation.

        Quite a lot of shadow Cabinet members resigned, as they didn’t agree with Keir Starmer!

‡        Glad I could help, Debbi!

        Oooh … I think this video will grab you …
