Best Show on TV for anyone
Horrible Histories is a gem I found through clips on YouTube. Thanks to Amazon people in the US can finally see the full episodes.
Yes, it is an educational program. Yes, it's considered a children's show. But you wouldn't think about that after watching a few episodes.
It is like Monty Python decided they wanted to do an educational program. The wonderful cast and writers bring history alive with humor. It is based on the books by Terry Deary. They keep the books ability to explain history through poo, silly incidents, and satire. The humor is geared for kids and adults.
This particular episode is a Savage Songs Special. Yes, they do songs through the series and at the end of the season gather them in one episode. The songs are often parodies, pastiches of a particular style or artist, and extremely catchy. If you are thinking Barney like songs, there is nothing like that on this show.
Examples:
The Stone Age Song: jazz like song...
Horrible Histories
Very funny, complete with costumes. A little too much potty and vomit humor,
but that's British humor, not so much American humor.
