Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th November 2026.

11th November, 2026.

Yes: it’s officially official.

I’m being followed on Instagram by Ken St. Andre: the brains behind Tunnels and Trolls.

As someone who played the game when I was younger?

That’s made my morning!

Back in October, I wrote how an unnamed celebrity had been seeking a court injunction: to stop themselves being named in a joint report from ITN and The Guardian, as the alleged perpetrator behind some serious sexual offences.

The celebrity was threatening suicide, if revealed: something I felt was an effort to avoid problems.

I felt it was an attempt at blackmailing the court to not name names.

That attempt has failed: and, as the court has lifted the injunction, the celebrity has been revealed to be comedian and writer, David Walliams.

Some of his alleged victims were between fifteen, and seventeen.

I’m … not surprised by the reveal.

Especially as Walliams faced similar allegations, last year.

I note that Walliams is denying things.

I think that’s par for the course.

And can only hope a trial happens soon.

The sooner cases like this are brought to trial, and perpetrators convicted, the better.

Let’s move on.

“Give me knowledge or give me death!”

Kurt Vonnegut, November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007.

And an earworm …

The next ten question sets are on the 19th, 25th, 29th November and 6th December: they’re about Quatermass and the Pit, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, the Grand Ole Opry and The Wicker Man.

Your comments, and today’s answers, will be published in tomorrow’s Teaser.

AI is used to suggest themes for some dates: but avoided when writing the questions.

Answers are as accurate as possible, at the time of writing.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (It was 1929 and 1930, Mum, rather than 1930 and 1931.)

†        You’re right, Debbi: World War One wasn’t exactly cheerful!
