Delighted to be invited by the @HistCovTrust to talk about my new book in the Anglican Chapel in the beautiful London Road Cemetery, Coventry on the 3rd of October @uniofwarwick @warwickengages @WarwickFilmTV @TeleHistories https://t.co/dciIq7wNCj

Thanks to friends & family from far and wide for coming to @CovCathedral to celebrate the launch of Television/Death this evening. It was lovely to see everyone. Ellie made me book biscuits which were the absolute cutest! @warwickengages @WarwickFilmTV @TeleHistories @EdinburghUP

Do you want to know how important television drama is? Watch Breathtaking from @ITV - television truly doing what it does best. Telling human stories. Bringing (very recent) social history to life. Highlighting injustice. I have cried angry tears all the way through it.

Yesterday, at our Television Histories in Development seminar, @hmwheatley and @richarddhillon spoke about the very beginnings of their new (respective) projects. 📺 @WarwickFilmTV

Broadcast historians. Something I discovered (you may already know) - BBC Genome will not return plurals if you don’t search for them separately eg canal will not return canals. This hadn’t occurred to me so I thought I’d share! Apologies for the niche post everyone else 😊

Carry On on the box. 📺

A call for papers on Carry On's televisual iterations.

Come and join us for our Conference next year, either to present, participate or spectate 😊

Surprise arrival - was completely baffled to receive this from the @BFI and then figured out that they had reproduced some old liner notes I’d written for the episode ‘Stigma’. They’ve given me a super old job title, but still, it’s very nice to be included 😊 @TeleHistories

Ah, we'd love this new colleague to be a television scholar - is there anyone out there who would love this job?

Planning on being anywhere but in front of the telly next weekend? Or looking forward to a coronation viewing party? You’re not alone. Henrik Ornebring’s history of TV viewing in @hmwheatley’s ‘Re-Viewing Television History’ tells the story of coronation audiences in 1953

[Helen Wheatley @hmwheatley]

Was a delight to record this podcast with @bethmichaelfox and @Renske_Visser. Spoilers for my new book contained within! @warwickengages @TeleHistories @WarwickFilmTV

Centre for Television Histories games cabinet coming along nicely. Please feel free to add your telly games, Centre members (in the FTV academic studio on floor 1 of the FAB). Games night coming soon!

[Centre for Televison Histories @TeleHistories]

@drdjohnston I like the idea of a hybrid event which is part symposium, part games night! Let’s do it (Derek - this is @hmwheatley by the way 😊)

[Centre for Televison Histories @TeleHistories]

@drdjohnston Ooh, interesting idea…. Gaming in television, games of television, game adaptations on tv….

[Centre for Televison Histories @TeleHistories]

@drdjohnston Gah! Visitors also welcome at games night - perhaps we can lure you back??
