Format:DVD
Couldn't agree more with the other reviewers...this has got to be one of the funniest things on tv i've seen in ages. The series jumps back and forth thru different time periods so you dont get bored on one segment. The 'stupid deaths' bit always has me in stitches. This series is genuinely funny for both kids and adults and thoroughly recommended. My 5 yr old daughter loves it..and most of all....the information they get over thru the sketches, sticks in her mind. They really have tapped into a good way of getting kids interested in history. Favourite sketches...Stupid deaths, the 4 Georges boy band sketch, Henry VIII songs, Helen of Troy sketch, the Mummies sketch ("hello, I'm a shouty man")....there are just so many. Genius! Brilliant! Roll on the next series!

Well written jokes, puns and gags for all ages (I'm 24!), I've seen this twice and both times the jokes have brought a smile to my face, and occasionally full blown laughter. The cast is wonderful, excellent comic timing, a flair for slapstick as well as intelligent jokes, amusing songs, great costuming... can't wait for the next series to come out on DVD!

this is the most brilliant way to teach anyone history and to be able to retain the information. my family have enjoyed it and worth watching over. reminds me of the early days of monty python's flying circus but better. way to go bbc!

It makes me larf
This tickles my funny bone, and I learn stuff. What's not to like? The actors are superb and should have statues made, in funny positions, wearing tall hats, and wax moustaches. Read more

Not a parent? Don't let that stop you.
