If someone described Animal Kwackers to you - basically a regionally-accented Glam Rock slant on The Banana Splits with an ITV budget - you'd assume they just weren't very good at making stuff up. But as @lisaandandrew.bsky.social can confirm, it's all too real... timworthington.org/2025/03/04/t...

A sublime end to Wolf Hall, a painful episode to watch. And I'm glad they didn't show the execution. I'm planning a full rewatch in the not too distant future. #WolfHall

How exquisite are these illuminations of Queen #CatherineofAragon & King #HenryVIII? From Catherine’s Book of Hours by Jean Pichore, c.1509, likely commissioned for her wedding by her sisters. @onthetudortrail.bsky.social thank you so much for showing me! guenther-rarebooks.com/artworks/984...
