Ok, so just to be clear on this before you read the rest of this post, I haven't gone mental or regressed to a child but one of the best programmes on TV has been the hilarious Horrible Histories! They are currently airing their third series and with each new forray into the historical backwaters that the history books prefer to gloss over it becomes more and more wonderful.
This show is not just for kids. Bursting with witty sketchs and rib achingly funny comedic performances from the entire cast; this series needs to be watched by all!
My personal highlight of the series are the fabulously silly yet downright genius songs which are, if you pardon the pun, as catchy as the plague and will having you singing along with the like of Charles the 2nd and Dick Turpin the Highwayman.
The latest series is on every Tuesday afternoon on CBBC or you can find them all on Iplayer and their spin off series hosted by Steven Fry instead of the annoying rat is on every Sunday on BBC1.
Below is the dangerously funny Dick Turpin/parody of Adam Ants 'Highwayman' song; enjoy!
omg i love this song almost too much! is that possible? anyway best show on the telley by far!!!!!
