Horrible Histories
The history they don't teach you in school.
Created by Terry Deary
On CBBC
A high-energy, anarchic sketch comedy that makes history entertaining and memorable for children through irreverent humour, gross-out gags, and rapid-fire comedic bits.
Based on the best-selling children's books and liberally splattered with guts, blood and poo, a group of British comedians offer an anarchic and unconventional take on some of history's most gruesome and funny moments, with topics including the Stone Age, the Middle Ages, the Egyptians and the Romans, among others.
