Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-4-2024 — The Spying Game

13th April, 2024: The Spying Game.

Argh!   I’m having a morning!

I was going to tell you I’d done a video review of the most recent Star Trek Discovery episode … 

Then tell you that:

• Varada Sethu — Cinti, from the Disney+ series, Andor — has been cast as a new companion: for Dr Who’s second season/15th series.
• Star Trek Strange New Worlds is to have a fourth season.
• Star Trek Lower Decks’ fifth season is to be its last.

Which is definitely sad to hear: Lower Decks is funny!

At any rate: I was going to tell you that … 

Buy YouTube decided to hide my Teaser playlist for today: so I’ve had to make a new one!

Ho … … … Hum!

Let’s move on, shall we?


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


 Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

“In March 2024, Teixeira pleaded guilty to six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information; he will be sentenced in [ … ] 2024§.”

From the Wikipedia entry on Jack Teixeira.

A Was Not Was song …

And an earworm …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Yes, you did mention, Olga!   I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’s nothing serious.   Just make sure you stay off the coffee, OK … ?

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        I’d imagine that IS a downside to the place, Debbi: the cost of courses, there.   I think both my sisters are glad they went to Uni in Liverpool: the living costs are lower, if nothing else!

        I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, then!   Hopefully, being a scientific guinea pig will pay off!

§        I hope I’m using those brakes, correctly!
