FTA-TV Horrible Histories

[imadodgyumpire]

Has anyone noticed this "kids show"? (ABC3 7:30pm, mon-thurs) It's a freakin gem! It may be made under the premise of a kids show and it may not have Sophie Lee hosting, but there isn't anyone that can't enjoy this. Loses points on being educational since, sometimes, I laugh so hard at their clips or I'm left astounded in their use of modern applications/themes to present historical facts, that I forget the info they're showing. If you haven't seen it, these clips won't let you down...

A classic from the late 790's.

I'm guessing it's based off the book series?

Horrible Histories is an amazing series. Their is heaps of videos on YouTube that are worth watching. Their is even a 1 hour stage show called The Horrible Histories Prom, it is YouTube as well

I'd assume so. There was a cartoon series based off the books a few years ago, think it was in the "later" time slot of childrens programming on ABC after school, like 5-6 maybe.

Thought I recognised the name. Looked it up and yep I grew up with the animation series of the book.

You got me. I loved George the Fourth. I will record it. I,m a bit of a history person.
I miss Sophie Lee too. But I certainly need my education improved.

Definitely, you could start with basic English

I watch it with my eight year old, my middle son is obsessed with the books. Favourite segment is "Stupid Deaths"
