Every year I award the BAAFTA to the best sheep film from the last year and unless I can think of any others, the nominees are: Frankenstein Hamnet The Testatment of Ann Lee

Hastings: Have you ever heard of wasting police time? Poirot: Have you ever heard of LOVE?

ABC Murders tonight. Agatha you've done it again

A job will have you 24 with a 60 year old best friend like "damn where are Michael and his homunculi at today?"

Finished Small Prophets! Mackenzie Crook has surpassed himself again with the set designs.

On her feast day #otd - the 3rd century martyr Agatha. c. 1500, Vergós workshop, #Spain (Art Institute Chicago)

Susannah and the Elders, embroidered c. 1660 in England. A small menagerie of animals here, including a turkey (Victoria & Albert Museum)

What if I read every book on Gromit's reading list

Bloody hell, even if you know the twist is coming in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, nothing can prepare you for it

Guys you've got to watch Cadfael

At your art institution, there will be someone who says we should rethink the museum label and perhaps get rid of them. It is important that you call this person an idiot.

I forgot that Ghosts series 5 actually started borrowing ideas from CBS Ghosts

I agree with Michael Rosen. AI generated text isn't language, it's just signs.

If Jacob Elordi wins playing The Creature after Emma Stone won for Poor Things, that's creating a clear path to victory for any actor (play a reanimated corpse)

What a shame for anyone bringing out a film this year that they're all going to lose next year's Oscars to Werwulf (dir. Robert Eggers)

I'm honestly surprised the Shakers aren't bigger considering there clearly isn't a shortage of people willing to sign up to religious celibacy, even now.

Anyway, friends, Romans, besties, I feel absolutely terrible (head hurts, body is odd temperatures)

The thing is, while I should seek out all my old Twitter mutuals on here, I don't wanna

Me and my mutuals

Half of posts on Instagram are somebody responding to a statement in quotation marks that no one in the history of the world has ever said

It's definitely healing to watch one really good film every night

The Telegraph have got their very best minds writing about US history

I think it's cool how the ghosts in Ghosts play chess with a physical set and it's never explained how they do it. Leaving a chess board set out and then coming back to all the pieces in the middle game is very creepy

Proof-reading early modern style. 'Printers at Work', 1 of 24 emblems painted for the Jesuit College of Brussels, by Joannes Carolus van Deijnum, 1683. "If the masters were mistaken in their learning, error shall likewise spread upon all their disciples" (V&A, London)

The Fortune Teller Caravaggio, c. 1575 - 1600 (Musée du Louvre)

These sleeve panels were meant to be worn under a gown or bodice with open sleeves. They gave the impression of a lavishly decorated smock or waistcoat under the bodice of the gown but were cheaper & less bulky to wear. #English, 1615-1625 (Victoria & Albert Museum, London)

My childhood cinema was the Blackpool Odeon, which is now closed. Now a town with 140 000 people has no proper cinema

Obsessed with this tapestry which shows just about every heroine from the Bible or antiquity known for killing a man

It's tragic I don't believe in God because I'd make a great vicar or theologian

Joan Baez concert on BBC Four right now btw

Thinking about her

People make fun of Bluesky but Threads is just hot people doing paid promotional material between their dating takes

Oh I NEED this wallpaper

I'm having PHEASANT on Christmas Day. Tudor farmer Christmas here we go

Gave an absolutely legendary medieval-Tudor Christmas themed tour of my workplace on the last working night of the year

A slip: Spray of holly and berries embroidered in tent stitch and French knots on linen canvas. c. 1600, English (V&A, London)

I will say, BBC Radio 2 and 3 have served me much better for musical discovery recently than any algorithm.

Yes I made a new account

Here by (apparently) popular demand: my early modern Christmas playlist open.spotify.com/playlist/74V...

Using my first post on this platform to say how good this was
