Horrible Histories

For most over the age of twenty, you will be forgiven for believing that I am referring to the wonderfully graphic books that offered much literary entertainment during your youth.

In a sense, yes I am referring to the Horrible Histories series of books.

However, I am particularly referring to the new, up-to-date, magnificent television series that is an adaptation from the books.

It is shown on CBBC (don't let that put you off) and is truly marvellous and clever.  I urge you to give this show a whirl as I think most of you will find it very appealing.

The actors involved are tremendous in delivering a history lesson that is fun, funny, and...fundamental for a pub quiz(?)!  (What better way to remember historical events than with a sketch or a song?)

Ah, talking about the songs...

These are primarily the best factor of the show.  It is difficult for me to express just how fantastic they truly are, so I have offered some links to a few YouTube videos which should convince you much more than I possibly can:

 Dick Turpin - Highway Man

Vikings (Literally)

King Richard III

As an added bonus, the guy who plays Dick Turpin is incredibly hot, and becomes more so the more you watch him...

Enjoy!
