anteros_lmcIt's Friday. Time for something silly. Many of you will already be devotees of cbbc's Horrible Histories which is quite possibly the finest history series ever broadcast on television. Most of my knowledge of the Georgian period outwith the Royal Navy comes from Horrible Histories Gorgeous Georgians sketches*. This is one of my favourites, and the only way I can remember the correct sequence of monarchs. Allow me to present the Four Georges singing Born to Rule.

and Deer Club - oh! and the Witchfinders!
Oooh I haven't seen those ones, I've only seen the ones that are on tv at the moment. I'll have to look them up :)

I told a friend of of mine who studied history like me about this, and the day after she knew all the clips about the English kings and queens by heart. And keeps singing songs about English kings at me. D: This is a highly contagious plague!

Of course it is! But it's not fair that I should be the only one to suffer ;)

Date: 2011-01-21 09:30 pm (UTC)Well most of my knowledge of the Royal Navy circa the Napoleonic Wars comes form this programme that used to be on ITV1 on a Sunday night, what's your point? :P
