1804. Oceans are now Battlefields. In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French. It should be a massacre. Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

Saw Sinners again last night and I think it was even better this time. One thing I missed the first time: the vampires sing folk songs as a group but Slim, Sammy and Pearline all do original numbers. This has definitely affected my interpretation
