Getting kids interested in History or any other subject for that matter is hard. So if this show can help bring it to life for them in an engaging way then I'm all for it.Even for adults this is an entertaining show, with actually more laughs in it than some of the prime time sketch shows that litter the schedules.I can see why it's struck a chord with kids and adults a like because it's a well made and entertaining show. I hope schools have latched onto it and start using it as a resource. It would make a change to 'Blackadder'.Long may it continue.

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.

We're really not liking it. It doesn't have that flow. The old cast had a good rapport & worked so well together. This new cast is very wooden. It's like they're playing their role, but not living it. The old cast really looked like they were having FUN! I don't know why CBBC decided to do this. It's completely turned my family off the series. Perhaps it's the writing The episodes are just too disjointed to hold a child's attention. Each episode is focused on something specific in history - Napoleon, the Magna Carta, Henry VII. It looks like it should flow, rather than the old method of skits of many different historical facts, but it doesn't. It's too dry and not jaunty enough. The cast just looks so uncomfortable and out of place.Very sad to see the series go like this. Up till now we have loved it.Horrible Histories RIP.

for years, I've cringed at TV programming for children. Either the content is boring, politically correct or has no educational value. Horrible Histories is educational, funny and takes risks. It's also wonderful to see great representation by men and women in a balanced way (it's almost unheard of ... Although I'm turning a blind eye to the sexist "girl power" song that never should have been included - if you're not willing to say boy power, don't do girl power: you just demoralize young boys by doing so). The acting and writing is excellent. The historical facts are both fascinating and humorous. As a parent, my 10 year old squirmed through a number of gags (which is good - it is "horrible" after all). I often had to explain how things were mis-represented (eg. Caligula wasn't an idiot - he was very dangerous. People would have taken his lunatic ideas seriously for fear of death). Another example was the "take a seat" gag for the Stone Age sketches. I felt the need to dispel the fallacy that Stone Age means stupid. That's simply modern arrogance that we are only smart today. I was very happy to see a later episode showed Stone Age as not-so-stupid. Also, the show harps on about Vikings killing monks - it got very repetitive after the same point was repeated continually. But, don't let these small details put you off. The acting and writing is brilliant. It gets kids interested in history. It challenges our understanding of our ancestors. It's very entertaining for young and old. If you love Monty Python, you'll almost certainly love Horrible Histories. Keep an eye out for Master Chef, Tudors and Ancient Greece. The series deserves all the accolades it's been given.
