I have a confession to make...despite being an adult I love the Horrible Histories series. As a kid I always loved the books...but put off watching the TV series as I thought it might be childish and patronizing (kids TV in the 90's was soo much better) but having seen the 'remixed' version on BBC1 I was hooked. Its not only informative but funny and not patronizing at all. And as a fan of classic comedies I do find myself spotting nods to shows like monty python. I've got series 1 & 2 on DVD and waiting for series 3 to be released hope they do a series 4.
Some of my fave sketches are those from Regency and the Roman ones. Regency:

I also love the pastiche/parody songs that earworm you...The Kings & Queens song came in handy when watching some documentaries lately and me thinking so who came after George 4th?
But my fave pistache of a song has to be the Dick Turpin Highwayman one.
