Erastes posted one of what are called the Horrible Histories (humorous vids about English history), and then tempted me most vilely to continue exploring them. So far, my favorite is "Wife Swap: Spartans and Athenians." LOL!

A strong warning: Do not go to the YouTube search page for Horrible Histories without time to kill; I can't bring myself to stop watching!

Horrible Histories are great. I think I had the complete series of books when I was about 8.

They're, ah, mostly accurate too.

My kids love series you've been watching - the new series has just started here, but because of that and it being half term CBBC has been showing them rather a lot. I have the 'Stupid Death' song stuck in my head at the moment :p

I love the Spartan/Athenian Wife Swap one, too :)

I had never heard of these before. Thank you for pointing to them. I've managed to spend a couple hours watching various episodes. I love the King Henry the VIII one.
