'orrible 'istory Lessons

Post by Rowan » Wed March 7th, 2012, 2:00 pm

Okay since I think there are a number of fans of the Horrible Histories books and are familiar enough with the sketches on CBBC, I thought I'd start a thread where you can share your favourites.

I found this one on medieval war and find it very Monty Pythonesque...

Very funny and, as you mentioned, quite an homage to the Pythons.
