Has anyone seen the Horrible Histories take on WDYTYA? Yes I know HH is on CBBC but I like it.

The interviewer was telling George 3 that he was descended from royalty, which he knew, and that his gt gt grandfather was a king, yes he knew that. George said why don't you come and meet my relatives and took the interviewer to his family vault ...where he opened tombs and introduced them.

Wouldn't it be easier if we kept ours in boxes in the garden with their names and details.

OK so you don't think its funny - its the way they do them really. not my forte.
But if Stephen Fry is going to be doing the programme, it's good enough for me.

Hi Georgina

I saw HH today, some of the sketches are quite funny, I liked the 'Oliver'
one with the kids singing.

It would be easier if we could all have family tombs :-)

Wish they'd had programmes like Horrible Histories when I was small!!
My 9 year old grand daughter loves the programme - and her favourite lesson - History!!!
There are some good games related to the programme on the internet too!!!
