Horrible Histories

I'm with the other reviewers here in being: a) adult and b) hugely admiring of the "Horrible Histories" concept in general, and the way these particular actors put it into effect, in particular. However, I am not sure if the other reviewers have fully cottoned on to the exquisite way in which the work can at times rise to being both funny and moving at the same time. Cases in point are the "We fighter pilots..." song (about the Battle of Britain), and now recently the Magna Carta song (produced in time for the 800th anniversary thereof). Both songs are attractive visually, catchy as musical creations, funny, informative and ... distinctly moving! That's a nice and clever and unusual trick if you can pull it off, and these guys certainly can! Much-deserved congratulations to them, therefore. Their world-beating work fusing education with entertainment offers us yet another reason to be "proud to be British".

I first watched this series in 2015 and fell in love with it, the funny sketches,the unpredictable comedy and the lovable actors and their characters.

However the best part about the early series was the songs. The show took samples of famous songs and changed the flow and lyrics to something catchy and enjoyable.

However, in series 6, the original actors left and the show took a drop in quality. Even though it wasn't as good as the first 5 series, the celebs portraying the character performed well, there were occasional funny moments and there were often cameos from the 6 idiots.

Sadly, series 7 - 10 of the show is unwatchable. The writing is boring and unfunny, the characters are not likeable, the show is packed with unfunny fart jokes and the songs have terrible writing and some are unwatchable (it's time for bed,nature song)

Blood, guts and excrement. Words to make you sick, I meant. Show this to your children and rejoice, toilet calls - there is no choice!

Sorry, didn't rime properly. Bad viking me.

Amazing show. I cannot believe how they market this as a children's show. The humor is quite pythonesque and the pop-culture references are pretty subtle (for a child to understand).

On the minus side there are some historical inaccuracies. E.g. Caligula wasn't murdered by his niece. And there are some more, but who cares. It's fun.

There really are some gruesome moments.. mostly involving feces. Amazing educational show, you silly Brits!

I have recently revisited the brilliant TV show that is Horrible Histories and still found it as amusing as before, it is a brilliant comedy show with originality. To say that the TV Show has some disgusting bits in it is an understatement, it is a fun-packed half an hour, each episode, of blood, gore, vomit, farts, burps and laughs. Whether it's HH TV Sports, HH TV News or the Scary Stories, it will bring a laugh to the darkest of people. If your child of whatever age has not seen this brilliant TV Show then they are missing out on lots of things, if your child thinks that Cartoon Network's Uncle Grandpa is the prime of all children's television or Teen Titans Go is the pick of the bunch then show them this TV Show from start to finish and they will see what they are missing out on. Truly Enjoyable for any ages, this will show people that Michael Macintyre is not funny.

The first 5 season are exceptional. Some of the funniest British comedy sketches I've ever seen and the original music is first rate . I rate seasons 1-5 as 10. Unfortunately the subsequent seasons fall off a cliff. The sketches are drawn out and boring and the music is uninspired.
