Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th November 2025.

15th November, 2025.

Right … there’s been an announcement!

The BBC has announced that the first two episodes of The War Between Land and Sea will air in the UK on Sunday, 7th December.

With Russell T. Davies telling us that the remaining three episodes will air over the following two weeks.

Going by the publicity I’ve seen, so far … ?

It will air on Disney+, outside the UK: in 2026.

~≈🌊≈~

Now … I have to admit, I’m looking forward to The War Between Land and Sea.

Even though I, like many fans, had issues with the finales of Ncuti’s two series.

Generally?

Russell T. Davies could do very good Whoniverse-theme Spin-offs.

But one thing I have noticed?

Is that this spin-off will air, internationally, in 2026.

I think that difference in dates is going to cause problems.

Is going to cause people to look for the episodes on torrent tracking sites like Pirate Bay.

That’s not something we should be encouraging* …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-11- 2024— International Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organised Crime.

15th November, 2024: International Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organised Crime.   (Phew!)

Right … it’s now Friday.

Which means I’ve had another dose of the Mounjaro medication I’m on.

I find out — after my next blood tests — how it’s helping my HbA1c sugar levels.

But … ?

The medication is said to help a patient lose weight: something I know is useful for me.

Giving I’ve consistently lost weight over the past few weeks?

I feel I can say it seems to have an effect.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-11-2023 — The Day of Eight Billion.

15th November, 2023: the Day of Eight Billion.

Yes: it’s Wednesday.

And?

The day after Tuesday!

You’d guessed that bit, I’m thinking!

At any rate, yesterday saw me looking after my nephew … and his pet rabbit, Mikey!

It’s amazing how noticeable a bunny can be!

~≈¥≈~

Yesterday also saw me finishing a review of “Glasnost”, the series four opening episode of For All Mankind.

The next one will go up, next week!

Doctor Who — The Abominable Snowmen — Episode 2 — A Review

14th November, 2022.

Right at the moment … ?

It’s a Monday night.

And I’ve got potatoes on the go.

Potatoes, vegetables … and chicken.

I’m going for healthy eating, frankly.

At any rate … ?

It’s Monday.

And I’m going to be eating dinner, listening to I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue … 

Then watching the next episode of classic Dr Who serial, The Abominable Snowmen.

Hopefully?

There’ll be a game of Mornington Crescent in the offing!

~≈🚀≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-4-2022 — Brazil.

15th November, 2022: Brazil.

Right … there’s a good possibility there’s be videos, later!

For a start?

I’ve going to have my nephew, Jude, over, later.

And I’ll be posting a review of the next episode of The Abominable Snowmen.

Which looks good: and involves the return of the Ghanta!

Either way?

There’ll be video …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th November, 2021.

15th November, 2021.

You know it was Remembrance Sunday, yesterday?   Here in the UK, anyway.

It’s THE day the Britain commemorates its war dead: from the First World War, all the way to the Conflict in Afghanistan.

It’s ALSO a day that Irish nationalists don’t like.

Many Irish people volunteered to become soldiers in the UK Army during WW1: when something nationalists see as contentious, as they feel those volunteers should have stayed home, fighting for Irish independence.

Indeed, if I’ve understood things correctly?

That’s spurred the Provisional IRA to bomb at least one Remembrance Day parade: in Enniskillen, many years ago.

I believe there’s been other such Remembrance Day Bombings: but don’t quote me.

The reason I mention it … ?

Is that a minicab was deliberately blown up, yesterday: at one minute to eleven, on Remembrance Sunday, outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

Which, I should add, is very near the Anglican Cathedral where the service was being held.

The driver of the cab survived.

His passenger, didn’t.

Three men in their twenties have since been arrested.

~≈💣≈~

Right now … ?

I think it’s dreadful that this has happened.

And can’t help but speculate: that this has got something to do with Northern Ireland.

After all, there’s been discontent — on Unionist sides — about the various Brexit linked discussion: practically since 2016!

There’s also been at least one bus hijacking: blamed on the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

I can’t but think that this was an reprisal attempt by Nationalists.

We probably won’t know until the trials, if any.

~≈💣≈~

JUST as a lighter note?

I caught Once, Upon a Time, last night: the most recent episode of Dr Who.

My written review is here, if you’re interested.

My video review … ?

Well … 

~≈💣≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 2 — Far from Home — A Review

14th November, 2020.

Right … 

It’s a Saturday night: and I’ve just spent the past few minutes, filling in forms on the NHS website.

No, I’m, not going to tell you why: frankly, I’d prefer to keep that one to myself.

It’s one of those rare, slightly embarrassing ones.

And, believe me, there’s not much that embarrasses me!

At any rate … ?

It’s Saturday: and I’ve just seen another episode of Star Trek: Discovery, Series three.

More tomorrow, folks!

~≈†≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th November, 2020.

15th November, 2020.

Yep: it’s official … it’s Sunday!

Which means, frankly?

That there’s not a lot on.

Bar the odd bit of poking about: and maybe some laundry!

Hey ho!

~≈Ç≈~

Jurassic World: A Review

15th November, 2018.

Yep: I’m right, aren’t I … ?

It’s another day: and another dollar …

And yet another post.

Unemployment is … 

Not starting to frustrate me, just yet.

After all, I’ve a little cash for the moment, and something to keep myself occupied.

Were it not for the fact it’s coming up to Christmas?

I’d be using some of the last bit of pay I’m due — tomorrow’s, so you know — to buy some paint: and take the time to redecorate.

As it is … ?

Well.

At any rate … ?

It’s another night off in the hopefully soon to be over rough patch.

I’ve a couple of options.

Stare at a screen saver.

Stare at another screen saver …

Watch a movie.

Yes: I went for watching a movie, in the end.

There’s only so much sitting in front of a screen a body can take!

~≈§≈~

At any rate … ?

At any rate, yes: I managed a movie, tonight.

And, yes: another movie in a franchise: Jurassic World.

You wondering what I thought, aren’t you … ?

~≈§≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th November, 2018

15th November, 2018.

Yep: I’m off job hunting, again, today.

Job hunting … 

And possibly trying to buy a tie: if I can find a plain(ish) one in any of Brentwood’s many charity shops.

I’ve long since lost any I’ve had!

~≈§≈~

In amongst everything else … ?

We now know what’s been rumoured for some time.

There is no Dr Who Christmas special, this year: instead, there’ll be one on New Years’ Day.

Personally?

I’m a little disappointed: I like the special where it was, as practically my whole family would watch, given us some valuable bonding time.

I get the feeling the actual episode will be superb: they have been, so far.

But … ?

New Year’s Day, rather than Christmas Day is something I don’t like the sound of.

~≈§≈~

Just as a last point … ?

I watched a movie, last night.

Frankly?

Given yesterday’s theme, digging up The Godfather seemed just the thing.

~≈§≈~

The Strain — Series 4: Episode 2 — The Blood Tax

15th November, 2017.

Would you mind, awfully, if I yawned at you … ?

Weel … 

Not at you, per se.

I’m just yawning, in general.

After all, I’ve been and gone and done a full day’s work: after having got up at four, this morning, to post today’s Daily Teaser.

I think you’ll excuse me: under the circumstances.

~≈§≈~

At least I hope you will.

At any rate?

It’s just gone nine: in the evening.

Normally?

If I were getting up at four, again, tomorrow?

I’d not be staying up, comparatively late, tonight.

I’m up at seven, tomorrow.

Not taking the perfectly good chance to watch another episode of Series four of The Strain … ?

Would be rude … 

~≈§≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th November, 2017

Thankfully?

Thankfully, I’ve had some sleep.

Although bits of me are trying to convince me otherwise.

But … ?   At least I managed to get some sleep.

AND catch some TV.

I don’t know if you know it, but I’ve been watching The Strain for some time.

It’s not stunning … but is watchable.

Very watchable.

And, on the strength of the first episode?

It looks like the show’s fourth season could be a good one.

~≈§≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-11-2016

You know, I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled.

Last night, at work … ?

I managed to miss finding a job I’d thought I’m managed to put through the system.

But hadn’t managed to track properly, through another.

It’s something I’m mildly kicking myself for.

But being a little forgiving about: as I’m still learning the job … 

~≈Ê≈~

Do you follow the BBC’s technology news?   You’ll probably be aware that Tesco’s banking arm has had its issues: having seen significant amounts of customer’s money taken, a few weeks ago.

Seemingly?

The attack’s been linked to certain forums on the Dark Web.   Whose users claim to have accessed login details for the bank using brute force attacks.

Then?

Setting up Android Pay accounts, linked to the accounts, to pay for as much as possible.

Personally?

I’m thinking this is going to get more common.

I’m also wondering.

I’ve noticed Tesco were warned this was happening: a couple of months before the major attack on Tesco’s system.

I’m wondering what — having been warned — what Tesco were doing …
