And that’s us - a big thank you to all of you out there for following @scotsonscreen and engaging with us over the last five years – there were films, there were photos, nuggets of information shared, lots of larks and banter. Let's keep it going at @nlskelvinhall.
👍👋

And finally, the dancing polar bear is back - our most popular tweet of the last five years, helped *just a little* by a retweet from a certain @SamHeughan ….

Yes, we admit it. We did unleash Scary Santa and his reindeer on an unsuspecting world, to be met with a mixture of love and loathing. No, to be honest, it was pretty much all loathing. And probably some fear.

Since we've had so many good responses for the Kelvin Hall motor show cars this morning, here's a bonus. Yes, of course, it's a Renault 5 entirely covered with liquorice allsorts.
Yep, zoom in a bit there - that's what it is.

Another favourite from earlier this year - penguins getting on a bus to go to an art gallery – what’s not to like?

For #WorldPenguinDay here are the penguins of
@EdinburghZoo popping on to the bus for a day out at the Royal Scottish Academy. As you would, being a penguin.

They've just handed out the golden chocolate coins at the children's fair. Guess who's eaten theirs already?

A frog sailing on a toy boat – that’s just what it is – what more can we say?

For those of you who got up this morning and thought, "You know, the best start to this otherwise unpromising week would be to see some film of a frog sailing on a toy boat" - well, we've just made your day.

We are migrating @scotsonscreen to @nlskelvinhall but we promise there will still be top #FilmArchive content, #ArchiveAnimals and the occassional weird GIF.
