@Circa1350BC Lewis I feel like you're partially responsible for all that. He was under your watch!

Just caught up with the episode and it was awesome to see my horrifying friend here making television history (and terrifying audiences) for a second time 📺

Anyone recognise this face? Our object of the week will be familiar if you tuned into Saturday’s episode of Doctor Who – but don’t worry, our Stookie Bill figure is safely stored away out of the Toymaker’s reach.

@reggitsti Most of our exhibition's budget goes on re-enforced glass cases. We tell people it's to protect the objects, but it's to protect us

Is that a thing anyone would want to see?

Lewis Pollard 🌈@Circa1350BC·6 Eki

Maybe I'll do a retrospective/lessons learned from half a decade of generated tweets about museums?

I only just realised that @MuseumGenerator stopped posting back in April, I guess due to changes to how this platform works now. Thanks for 5 years of museum nonsense, you beautiful bot 🏦🤖❤️

Just watched @YorkshireFilm 's new film 'Cost of Living.' A really powerful and uncomfortable look at past times of economic hardship that mirrors what many people are experiencing right now. I won't say more because the film speaks for itself: youtube.com/watch?v=23gNHS…

@ktbellers Amazing! Though why would anyone want to use this for fishing and not for narrating your own nature documentary in your best Attenborough voice?

@Circa1350BC amazon says yes!😅

'Some New Uses for Television,' 1928 I don't think we lived up to the promise of television tbh. I want my television fishing device! 📺🎣

It's #BurnsNight again, so time to retweet the traditional 'Man walking a haggis (tame)' photo from @MediaMuseum (and celebrate 5 years since the first time one of my tweets went viral!)

Lewis Pollard 🌈@Circa1350BC

For #BurnsNight2018 I'd like to share my favourite ever photo from the Daily Herald Archive @mediamuseum 'Man walking a haggis (tame) on Burns night, 1967'

@arranjrees You've inspired me. Now I'm going to have to put a funding application to SMG for 'Blobby's Big Tour' and I'm quoting you in it!
