Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th May, 2024.

4th May, 2024.

Right … it’s the last Saturday before the start of Doctor Who.

That’s next Saturday, so you know: when BBC 1 airs the first two episodes*.

We’ll have to see how that goes, when it comes to the reviews!

I’ve finally finished my most recent Star Trek Discovery review: both written and video.

I hope they’re enjoyable.

And an song …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        The talk is that the third episode of the new series — “Boom”, by Stephen Moffat — will see the Doctor, standing on a landmine.

        The last time I saw something like that?   Was in 1975’s “Genesis of The Daleks”.

†        I’ll be honest, Olga: I based the question on this entry on Wikipedia.   That tells us the various bits of paperwork — including the L’Enfant designs — were laid out between 24th January and 9th September, 1791.

        Twiglets are definitely popular!   I haven’t had a pack for years!

‡        Happy Birthday, Mum!

§        I think you’re ahead, Debbi!   And you’d think it would twinned with London, wouldn’t you … ?
