Tina Pittock Presents….

Hello! 

I’m Tina. I love history, and I’d always wanted to work in museums (which I now do, as curator at the Royal Signals Museum in Blandford). I also love writing, and dressing up. Now I am finally getting to combine all three with my historical role play videos. 

I hope you will enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed creating them. 

Thank you for visiting – I hope you’ll come back!

Curator’s Role Play Videos

Since July, 2020 I have been writing and producing role-play videos based on different periods in British history set at roughly ten-year intervals. I hope you will enjoy watching them as much as I loved creating them!

Huge thanks to Shirlee of The Dressing Up Shop in Aldershot, who provides many of the elements of my costumes. Thank you, Shirlee!

Olive, circa 1920

Olive works for the GPO (the Central Telegraph Office was GPO) and during WW1 served in the Waacs. Here she describes her work, and listening to the very first musical radio broadcast.

Ida and the Solar Eclipse, 1926

It’s 1926. Ida comes from a wealthy family and doesn’t need to work but you won’t find her distant. However, she does have a bit of mystery about her. Did she travel overseas to observe the total eclipse or is she just telling you about it from what she heard? You can decide for yourself here
