Horrible Histories (2009 TV series) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

A new series of Horrible Histories, one of my favourite television programmes of all times is back on CBBC today. The programme is based on the popular Terry Deary book series of the same name.

If you haven’t heard of Horrible Histories you are seriously missing out!

The programme is hilarious and manages to make history fun, through sketches and catchy tunes. Horrible Histories should be part of the school curriculum. No, I’m being serious. Start watching it, I promise, you won’t regret it.
