If you appreciate witty, intelligent, ingenious comedy - this is for you.
My children love HH; they learn, laugh and and enjoy every sketch.
Truly brilliant, a BBC programme made how they used to be, before the onslaught of real-life/celebrity dross.
There isn't one part of this DVD that doesn't disappoint - well done to all involved with it.
Can't wait for Series 3!!!

HELLO! I'm a Shouty Man, and I'm here to tell you about ... the superb creation that is the BBC's Horrible Histories.
The cast clearly have as much fun making this programme as we do watching it. The songs are gems in their own right. From Charles II rapping about the Reformation, to the rock ballad Vikings, there is much that adults can learn as well as their children.
This is history made wonderfully accessible, yet not dumbed down. Series one was a triumph, and series two is every bit as good.

If series 1 was very good, this one is even better, a truly excellent piece of television, clever and funny in equal measures. We enjoy the programmes as a family: my husband and I, and our two sons (nearly 9 and 3 years old). Even our youngest sings "Stupid deaths, stupid deaths...". Our particular favourites are the brilliant Savage Songs, some of them absolute classics (Spartan School Musical, Viking rock ballad, Charles II rap, Pachacuti, Boudicca, ...), and we're working hard to know all the lyrics off by heart. Learning about history has never been so cool or this much fun. Horrible Histories alone is worth the licence fee in my opinion, well done to all the writers, cast and crew involved, we would like to nominate you for every television award going! Keep up the good work, and we look forward to series 3, 4 and 5!
