@OxfordYasmin Hi Yasmin! I'm hoping to get in touch about a new BBC show I'm working on, but struggling to find the best email contact. If you're interested would you mind giving me a follow or replying to this tweet, please? Would be great to chat. Thanks

@erinacean Hi Lesley! I'm hoping to get in touch with you (and your historical expertise) for a new BBC show I'm working on, but struggling to find an email contact. If you're interested would you mind giving me a follow or replying to this tweet, please? Would be great to chat!

RT @tweeter_anita: Couldn’t share the news with you before, but Princess Sophia Duleep Singh will finally get the recognition she deserves.…

Do a history degree and for the rest of your life, you'll never be able to watch period dramas without shouting at the screen.

@LouBell I watched this a few months ago after not realising it existed! The corny bit where they reveal the not-Rachel-Weisz Evy is so funny! (The whole movie though...😬)

Right, how am I watching a 3rd film in The Mummy series that I didn’t know existed (Tomb of the Dragon Emperor)?! And someone different is playing Evy?!

@LMBD1418 I'm so sorry Lucy! Ivy always seemed like a top-notch doggo. Hope you're doing okay.

@stacey_liezl Keanu / Jonathan is just there to soak up some of that 'traditional' east European culture! 😂

This thread really captures one of the things I love the most about the Coppola movie, which is the way Keanu Reeves is just waaay too chill about how much of a weirdo Gary Oldman is (cc. @Larquick)

Very cool to show students how borders have changed over time… @TMHistoryIcons

Here's a long-shot question for the world of Twitter: Can anyone out there talk to me about the real history behind 'thieves oil', please? It's for a documentary I'm currently working on. I will be forever grateful. #twitterstorians #History #HistoryTwitter

@stacey_liezl Does he mean people who are enthusiastic about unattractive cats or unattractive people who are enthusiastic about cats? Either way, NEITHER apply to you and Chewie, my friend.

To be fair to him, he's understood my brand completely (even if he understands literally nothing else).

@stacey_liezl ...I'm speechless!

Cc. @Larquick 😍

Here's my new time management technique: every half an hour is broken into 25 minutes writing, 5 minutes staring at my cat while she sleeps. I call it the ...pawmodoro technique.

There's nothing like writing about the dark dark history of the British Empire while also getting excited seeing all the Union Jacks ahead of the Jubilee to create some seriously conflicting emotions! #BritishHistory

@EllieRogersDir I still can't hear that phrase without rapping it in my head!

Can confirm. 100% accurate (historically and just... generally)

@gabrielledrolet @justheseplease Thought you'd approve (no worries if not though).

no worries if not!!

I don't mean to brag, but I just spelt 'archaeology' right first time.
