Her tale of #HezekiahMoscow was seen by Hannah Walters & #StephenGraham, who saw his potential for TV and the rest, as they say, is history. Don't miss!

I've said it before & I'll say it again: @oispooky.bsky.social is one of the most underrated public historians out there! Her work on Victorian wrestlers and boxers is fascinating. I can spend hours on her blog. She is also a historical consultant on the TV series #AThousandBlows. Give her a follow!
What are the chances that an unmarried, childless, Jamaican former sailor stabbed and murdered in his squalid Whitechapel boarding house in 1885 got a gravestone we can still find and read today?
Never underestimate the 1880s East End boxing fraternity!

But the whole tour sold instantly - mostly to #Ticketmaster.
Fans missed out despite going online seconds after tix were released.
Scandalous & shameful.
