I can't stretch this far enough..
You must watch Horrible Histories. I absolutely love this show. The sets, the music, the writing, all of it is charming and brilliant. And the cast is some of the best I've ever seen. From the Shouty Man (Jim Howick) to Queen Elizabeth I (Martha Howe-Douglas) to the gorgeous scientist, Brian (Lawry Lewin), each and every one of them is absolutely ingenious. The only problem is, you have to rewatch the episodes a few times to actually see just how talented they are. But it's worth rewatching the episodes.
This show has the perfect humour for little kids to enjoy, and the perfect wit for adults as well. Don't ever derive yourself of Horrible HIstories. It just might be the biggest mistake of your lifetime.
