Benjamin Bathurst I will kill you

On this day:

THE BAFFLING BENJAMIN BATHURST

On November 25, 1809, Benjamin Bathurst, secret British envoy to the royal court of Austria, traveling incognito as a wealthy merchant, went out into the street where his coach was being prepared to leave, walked around the front of the horses, and vanished into oblivion, never to be seen again. The incident took place as the obsessed Napoleon Bonaparte was conquering Europe with military force. Bathurst, immersed in diplomatic espionage, was gathering allies to oppose the self-crowned French emperor.

Anxiety had Bathurst carrying two pistols, his valet and secretary armed, and more guns stashed in his carriage in case of attack. Upon arriving in Perleberg, he went to the local garrison and pleaded for armed guards before entering the White Swan Inn for something to eat. The envoy was noticeable in his sable overcoat with its violet velvet lining and large diamond stickpin. A woman guest at the inn later commented that he was extremely nervous and unable to drink his tea without the cup shaking and tea spilling.

Lanterns provided only dim street lighting as Bathurst left the building. The hostler was finishing up with the horses, and the valet was loading baggage at the rear of the coach. The secretary was standing in the inn doorway, and soldiers were stationed at each end of the street. Bathurst was observed to have walked around the head of the horses, and that was the last anyone ever saw of him. The valet and secretary saw only each other as they circled the carriage. The secretary swore Bathurst did not return to the inn, and the soldiers had let no one pass. All of Perleberg was immediately searched, but no trace of the envoy was ever found.

Some sketches I did of Naps over the years-- as a dashing young officer and later as a DILF. He had so many looks, so many eras. VOTE FOR NAPS

Benjamin Bathurst

(admin note: even if you don't vote for him, his mysterious disappearance is a fun rabbit hole)

Propaganda: “have you SEEN him? glorious regency-dandy perfection -- that hair, that nose, those lusciously thick sideburns! he was a spy as well, and we all know that spies are magnificently fuckable… and also he disappeared mysteriously, leaving behind only a fur coat and an exciting legend! what's sexier than that!!”

Napoleon I

Propaganda:

a. “It’s the Napoleonic wars! He’s the main guy here!” b. “Everything. Just, everything.” c. “He has something wrong with him (affectionate)” d. “I don’t know how to write propaganda, so I’ll just say this: Napoleon was a cutie, a world soul, a revolutionary emperor, and a great social and legal reformer. On the subject of physical appearance and attractiveness: He could pull off any look. Whether he was wearing a general’s uniform while riding a galloping white horse or wearing a laurel wreath in the Notre-Dame Cathedral or cuddling up in a large grey coat, he was cute af. He was a short king (above average height for the time). People fainted in his presence (I’m not even kidding, this did actually happen). He went so hard they declared war on him. And that’s pretty neat. He had beautiful hands. For some reason, there are multiple sources commenting on how pretty and gorgeous his hands were. And that’s a weird but cool trait to have. He was beautiful. His eyes were very pretty. Described as both crystal-like and fiery during different instances. His smile (which you can’t really see in any painting) was supposed to be one of his most charming features. His voice was described as “musical and deep” (from the diary of Bertie Greatheed). Personally, I think he looks like a fluffy panda or a baby seal. As a person, he was a very sweet, affectionate and unusually forgiving (maybe even naively so). He was also a funny and witty person. He enjoyed telling ghost stories, singing along to opera (badly), reading reports (for fun), taking baths, gossiping with his wife, and going to the library.”

Man, 27, Charged After Threatening Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators With Nail Gun in Thornhill

Arrests can really be made for people who try to harm protesters. In many places, it's against the law to hurt or threaten others, even if they're protesting. The police are there to keep everyone safe and protect people's rights to express their opinions peacefully. If someone tries to harm protesters, they can be arrested and charged with a crime. It's important for everyone to respect each other's right to protest and express their beliefs without fear of violence. By following the rules and treating each other with kindness and respect, we can work hand in hand to create a safer and more peaceful community for everyone.

The Mysterious Disappearance of Benjamin Bathurst

[frankenshane]

This led to some “backstairs by which the necessary woman uses to go in and out for the cleaning.” Anne herself had never gone down this way before, and even at this moment of extreme tension could not help noticing that the walls were very shabby. One of the first things she did on reaching safety was to send directions to Sir Benjamin Bathurst that they should be repainted.

Johnny Sekka (born Lamine Sekka, July 21, 1934 – September 14, 2006) was a Senegalese actor. He was born in Dakar, Senegal, the youngest of five siblings; his Gambian father died shortly after his birth. When he was still young, his Senegalese mother sent him to live with an aunt in Georgetown in the Gambia, but he ran away to live on the streets in the capital, then known as Bathurst. During WWII he found employment as an interpreter at an American air base in Dakar. He then worked on the docks. When he was 20, he stowed away on a ship to Marseilles, France, and lived for three years in Paris. He arrived in London, England in 1952, and served for two years in the Royal Air Force, where he first received the nickname "Johnny", but then Caribbean actor Earl Cameron persuaded him to become an actor, and he attended RADA. He became a stagehand at the Royal Court Theatre and appeared on stage in various plays from 1958. He had a small part in the 1958 film version of Look Back in Anger. He took a leading role in the 1961 film Flame in the Streets. He met his future wife, Cecilia Enger. He continued in British films during the 1960s, portraying stereotypical roles, such as a manservant in Woman of Straw, and in other films, such as East of Sudan, Khartoum, and The Last Safari. He appeared on television, in programs such as The Human Jungle, Z-Cars, Dixon of Dock Green, Gideon's Way, Danger Man, and an episode of The Avengers. He played the lead role in a West End production of Night of Fame. This was the first time that a black actor had played a role written for a white man in English theatre. He moved to the US to get better roles. He had a minor part in the films A Warm December and Uptown Saturday Night. These roles led to the role in Good Times, where he portrayed Ibe, Thelma's African love interest. He starred in the movie Mohammad, Messenger of God. He appeared in Hanky Panky and played Banda in Master of the Game. He secured a role in Roots: The Next Generations, playing an African interpreter. He is known among science fiction fans for his role as Dr. Benjamin Kylein in The Gathering. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CgRYo3bu-kLLvrEtOH4XXbefEo4qPJZQDpDSwU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Friends, enemies, comrades, Jacobins, Monarchist, Bonapartists, gather round. We have an important announcement:

The continent is beset with war. A tenacious general from Corsica has ignited conflict from Madrid to Moscow and made ancient dynasties tremble. Depending on your particular political leanings, this is either the triumph of a great man out of the chaos of The Terror, a betrayal of the values of the French Revolution, or the rule of the greatest upstart tyrant since Caesar.

But, our grand tournament is here to ask the most important question: Now that the flower of European nobility is arrayed on the battlefield in the sexiest uniforms that European history has yet produced (or indeed, may ever produce), who is the most fuckable?

BBC and Bad Wolf today announce a stellar cast and crew line up to join Academy Award winning director Tom Hooper in Jack Thorne’s adaptation of Philip Pullman’s acclaimed series of novels. Principal photography has begun in Cardiff.

Dafne Keen takes on the lead role of Lyra, the young protagonist of the story who lives in Jordan College, Oxford. Placed there at the request of her Uncle, Lord Asriel (James McAvoy) she lives a sheltered life amongst the scholars and college staff while under the watchful protection of The Master (Clarke Peters) and Librarian Scholar Charles (Ian Gelder).

When the glamorous and mesmeric Mrs Coulter (Ruth Wilson) enters Lyra’s life she embarks upon a dangerous journey of discovery from Oxford to London. Here she meets Father MacPhail (Will Keen), Lord Boreal (Ariyon Bakare) and journalist Adele Starminster (Georgina Campbell) at a glittering society party where she first hears about the sinister General Oblation Board.

Lyra is subsequently thrown into the nomadic world of the boat dwelling Gyptians - Ma Costa (Anne-Marie Duff), Farder Coram (James Cosmo), John Faa (Lucien Msamati), Raymond Van Geritt (Mat Fraser), Jack Verhoeven (Geoff Bell) and Benjamin de Ruyter (Simon Manyonda) who take her North in her quest.

Once in the North she meets charismatic aeronaut and adventurer Lee Scoresby (Lin-Manuel Miranda) who joins them on their epic journey and who becomes one of Lyra’s closest allies.

Talented young actors joining the cast include Lewin Lloyd as Roger Parslow, Daniel Frogson as Tony Costa, Tyler Howitt as Billy Costa and Archie Barnes as Pantalaimon.

Philip Pullman says: “I’m delighted that the production is under way, and I’m looking forward immensely to seeing how it looks. Bad Wolf has assembled a wonderful cast and I’m sure every HDM reader is as keen as I am to see it all coming together.”

Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, says: “The vast, complex and deeply imaginative landscape of Philip’s novels requires a world class but quintessentially British band of creatives to bring them to life. The BBC is proud and privileged to be the host to such visionaries. Thank you to Jane, Jack, Dan, Joel and Tom and of course to Philip for entrusting us with their work and sharing the journey of seeing His Dark Materials come to life”.

Bad Wolf founder and Executive Producer, Jane Tranter says: “The calibre of our cast and directors is a testament to the brilliance of Jack Thorne’s scripts and also the sheer bravura, depth and imagination of Philip Pullman’s original novels. Our determination is to sound every note of the books in a series that will fully explore the many worlds and concepts in Philip’s work. Bad Wolf has assembled a world class production team at Wolf Studios Wales in Cardiff who will bring Philip’s incredible works to life for a whole new audience.”

Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, This is England ’88) is a Bafta, Tony and Olivier Award winning screenwriter and playwright.

Thorne says: “His Dark Materials are the most beautiful set of books, taking us into a world of constant imagination. Reading them I was a massive fan, in adapting them I've increasingly felt in awe of them. It's the constant invention, the way the story never sits still, and that the characters constantly surprise you. It's been a joy being part of a creative team for this; from Tom's incredible analytic mind and amazing eye, to Joel's beautiful world building, to everyone else involved. And then there's the cast, which has proved to be the cast of dreams, we are so lucky to have been able to entice them in.”

Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, Les Miserables) will lead as director and helm the first two episodes with Dawn Shadforth (Danny Boyle’s Trust, Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You Out of My Head) directing episode three and Otto Bathurst (Robin Hood [2018], Peaky Blinders) directing four and five, with other directors to be announced.

Production Designer Joel Collins (Black Mirror) says: "I wanted to be part of a show that would challenge every bone in my body. I was looking for something that would be a true test of my mettle. The hardest thing in fantasy is trying to show a mass group of people what they’ve only previously seen in their minds.”

Dan McCulloch (Victoria, Endeavour) is Executive Producer and Laurie Borg (Peaky Blinders, Black Mirror) is Producer.

In its first foray into British television, New Line Cinema is producing the series with Bad Wolf for BBC One.

The design team is led by Joel Collins (Black Mirror, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) with costumes designed by Caroline McCall (Downton Abbey, Hyde Park on Hudson) and hair and make-up design being led by Pamela Haddock (The Terror, Sherlock). Director of Photography for block one is Justin Brown (The End of the F***ing World, Sixteen) and casting director is Kathleen Crawford (I, Daniel Blake, Filth).

Framestore takes the role of VFX creative partner on the show: managing and executing VFX throughout, and working closely with the production team to ensure the awe-inspiring work can be achieved on budget, and on time.

Michelle Martin, Head of Television, Framestore says: "We could not be more excited to partner on His Dark Materials, a televisual event of truly epic proportion. It’s a hugely ambitious project, but one we at Framestore take on confidently, knowing our award-winning teams will successfully see it through."

His Dark Materials is produced by Bad Wolf and New Line Cinema for BBC One in association with BBC Studios Distribution and Anton Capital Entertainment, S.C.A. The series will be filmed in Cardiff at Wolf Studios Wales.

His Dark Materials is one of the supreme works of imaginative fiction for both children and adults published in the 20th century. After series one, which covers the first instalment of Northern Lights, the story continues in The Subtle Knife where Lyra is joined on her journey by Will, a boy who possesses a knife that can cut windows between worlds. As Lyra learns the truth about her parents and her prophesied destiny, the two young people are caught up in a war against celestial powers that ranges across many worlds and leads to a thrilling conclusion in The Amber Spyglass.

His Dark Materials has been published in more than 40 languages and has sold worldwide close to 18 million copies.

Since first publication in 1995 of Northern Lights, the three books have been acclaimed worldwide and have won many awards. In 2001 The Amber Spyglass was the first and only children’s book to win the Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year Award, in 2007 Northern Lights won the Carnegie of Carnegies and in 2005 Pullman was awarded by the Swedish Arts Council, the children’s literature equivalent of the Nobel Prize, The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.

Nicholas Hytner’s stage production of His Dark Materials was produced in two parts at the National Theatre in 2003-4. In 2006 New Line released a film of The Golden Compass starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra.

Bad Wolf is a UK/US production company founded by Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner and co-sited in South Wales and Los Angeles. The company is responsible for co-producing award-winning The Night Of for HBO and A Discovery Of Witches for Sky One. His Dark Materials is New Line Cinema’s first move into British television.

His Dark Materials will be Executive Produced by Dan McCulloch, Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner for Bad Wolf, Philip Pullman, Jack Thorne, Tom Hooper, and Deborah Forte, Toby Emmerich and Carolyn Blackwood for New Line Cinema, and Ben Irving and Piers Wenger for BBC One.

BBC Studios is the international distributor for His Dark Materials.

There he is! Isn’t he dashing? I modeled him on Benjamin Bathurst! 

We've hit the first stretch goal! Now the previously planned portrait miniatures representing different classes will all be paired.

We already have the first pendant - the very handsome aristocrat pictured above! I cannot wait to see what @suburbanbeatnik comes up with for the other four.

If you haven't joined in on the Kickstarter for Dandies & Dandyzettes yet, it's right here! The book will be available in a bunch of different formats and different price points, so it works for any budget.

The next stretch goal, which we'll be reaching soon, will be a detail map of the city of Bath to facilitate games or stories set there. Can't wait!
