    Hello, I’m an Art Historian who specialises in decoding symbols. I have a private jet ready to take me to the Vatican any moment, a collection of beautiful women running around in peril with me, and can get into any museum or gallery with no security checks. I do no teaching.

    Hello, I'm a bookshop in a movie. My books are charmingly higgledy piggledy and mainly leather-bound, my staff are the perfect blend of nerdy and good-looking, you'll never see anyone actually buy a book but we're the perfect meet cute/portal to somewhere fantastical.

    Hello, I'm a Canadian in a movie. I'm slightly less skilled than my British and American colleagues but make up for it with my politeness. Don't get too attached to me, I'm bound to die before anything important happens. Sorry.

    Hi, I'm a history professor in a movie with long, unkempt hair. I wear ties and suspenders and leather jackets. I'm always running around with musty old books under my arms and I perform in class rather than lecture, and I...wait...that's, that's actually how I am.

    The UK will “flourish and prosper” even if it walks away from the EU without a deal, has insisted. This from the man who promised us the safest and most compassionate health service in the world before leaving it with some of the worst performance figures on record.

    Hello I'm a northerner in a movie. I say what I like and like what I bloody well say. Sometimes I leave my terraced house to climb a large hill & gaze off into the distance/future, dreaming of one thing: London. But who will look after my kestrel/mithering pregnant girlfriend?
