D'accord, on a eu "C'est pas sorcier". Mais les Britanniques ont eu ça. Je ressens quand même une pointe de jalousie...

講《Horrible Histories》，不能不了解作者Terry Deary的故事。
Terry Deary在學生時期是個不愛上課，而且常製造麻煩的孩子。長大後他醉心話劇，也曾到學校做戲劇老師。他覺得英國學童不愛歷史，是因為教得太悶，因此，他決定用有趣的方式，帶點八卦娛樂及冷知識的方式來重新詮釋歷史，讓歷史變得有趣。他要以人為中心，不是以年份數字為中心的童書；他說要用平民、農民的角度去描繪名人君王。結果1993年他第一本Horrible Histories的童書面世，將歷史臨時演員變成敍事的核心，即刻引來爭議，也好評如潮。
曾經看過Terry Deary的報章專訪。記者問他，為何兒童和少年人對他的書和電視劇愛不釋手？他說：「因為夠顛覆，所以才吸引」（That’s subversion. ...

Guess who likes "Horrible Histories" when he's stoned from the anaesthetic after surgery? 😄
Always love Horrible Histories on BBC, and yes I know it's for children but I do like it.🙂

Ever wondered how you teach kids about Dick Turpin the vicious British highwayman who killed two people? Here’s more from “Horrible Histories”, with Mathew Baynton’s perfect “Adam and the Ants” skit. The ending of this true tale’s quite amazing too, and I must admit I’m rather taken by Martha Howe-Douglas’s rock lute playing!

Teaching kids history UK style. I guarantee you’ll learn more about Charles the Second in the next few minutes than you ever learned at school.
I just love this stuff, and it’s so brilliantly written I’m not surprised the show got an award.
Matthew Baynton at his peak!

This is how you teach English history to kids, and possibly even adults. I come across these songs every so often and their cleverness never ceases to amaze me. You can’t beat a bit of Horrible Histories every so often, and today’s lesson is Henry VII in the style of Blockbuster by The Sweet.
Great stuff, and amazingly well written.
How the hell is “Literally” so far down the #HorribleHistories song ranking from WatchMojoUK? Absolute scandal. https://youtu.be/s-UupzWGzuM?si=eiObiz7yrfUt28oh #ThemThereTroupe

I didn't quite realise how much of a lack of diversity the first lot's names had.
I wanna find all of them now 🤣🤣🤣

I promised a couple, and here’s the second. As catchy a tune as ever, and some great faces on here, including Ben Miller as King John.
The story of the Magna Carta, and how it eventually became enshrined in the constitution of Britain, America and the United Nations.
If you think it all sounds boring, no way, and check this out! You’ll soon be singing along!

You can’t beat a 1950’s Doo-Wop song about the horrors of love and romance in the Stone Age, and I bet you’ll be humming this after hearing it. If only education was like this in my day!
#bbc #television #uk #horriblehistories #funny #entertainment #history #comedy #education #children #childrensbooks #tv
An award that’s overdue and well justified!
What a great show this is (for both kids and adults!) and the number of fab comedians it’s featured is a real eye opener. From Rowan Atkinson to Ben Miller. The songs they sing are so well done, I feel a couple of classic “Horrible History” posts coming on!

‘Horrible Histories,’ British Historical Sketch Show for Kids, to Receive BAFTA Special Award

I got this book on a family holiday to the Isle Of Wight like...25+ years ago. It was like my bible for a good while. I'm absolutely gutted that it was thrown away when I was a teenager who was far too cool for a Horrible Histories book.
We all remember this #DS9 episode for what it is - cringe and annoying and not very good.
What made me laugh was that I watched it last night after many years of watching Horrible Histories. This fella looks like he's straight out of there, like he's about to start crying about the Oracle asking for too much money 😂

New release review: Seize Them!
My daughter, a big fan of #HorribleHistories and #GregJenner, gets so angry that the #LEGO Viking sets have horned helmets.
This is funny though, it's a good recovery from that shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiqY8YK_7pw
There was a sketch on #HorribleHistories in which they were called 'southern necessities'.
⚽️💥 At the inaugural meeting of the newly-formed Football Association in 1863, Francis Campbell of Blackheath FC objected to the banning of “hacking”, warning it would “do away with all the courage and pluck of the game.”
#HorribleHistories Football special airs at 6pm on @[email protected]
📺 Alert your children: tomorrow at 6pm on @[email protected] there's a special episode of #HorribleHistories hosted by @[email protected] all about the history of the beautiful game.
Featuring, among other things, Historical All or Nothing. ⚽️
I have a degree in history, but I still learn things watching #HorribleHistories on iPlayer with my kids. This week I leaned that *each* #zeppelin needed 250,000 (a quarter of a million) cow intestines for use as gas bags.
As a result, during #WW1, the German authorities banned the production of sausages, to stop the intestines being used for sausage skins. Being a German soldier in the trenches must have been miserable enough before someone took your sausages away.
