Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-5-2017: May Day

Hang on, hang on … 

We’ve got what … ?

I’ve got the Today programme on.

And just heard the news.

Parliament … ?

Has just appointed Camelia Parker … as the 2017 election artist.

Apparently, one of her best known works was Cold Dark Matter: basically, a garden shed she’d blown up, then hung around a light source.

What ever tickles your fancy, I guess.

But I’ve got one question.

Who cam up with the idea of an election artist?

~≈Â≈~

Oh, have I mentioned Dr Who, yet?

I saw this week’s episode, Thin Ice, last night.

And was seriously impressed with that.

I’m thinking Peter Capaldi, at his best in the show?

Does his good acting work with his face: The Husbands of River Song tells us that, with River Song’s big ‘Fall in love with a sunset’ speech.

I don’t know if it’s Capaldi’s best episode … 

But, in allowing him to show us that side of the Doctor?

It’s certainly a candidate.

Dr Who — Series 10: Episode 3 — Thin Ice

30th April, 2017.

Where do I start, tonight … ?

Where … ?

You’ve worked out I’m a fan of Dr Who.

At least you have, if you’ve been following me for a while.

You’ll possibly have guessed I’ve been watching, and enjoying, the rebooted version of the series ever since it started, back in the day.

Following the twists and turns of a series for a decade or so.

Of course, working Saturday nights has its downsides.

It means I get to watch my favourite show …

On Sunday nights.

Frankly?

I’ve seen possibly Peter Capaldi’s best episode.
