Horrible Histories (2001)
From the woeful World Wars, the miserable Middle Ages and the savage Stone Age to cut-throat Celts, groovy Greeks, rotten Romans, vile Vikings and awful Egyptians, history has never been so naughty. Irreverent in tone and approach, these are the stories from history that your mischievous uncle told you about; the gory, smelly bits that your teacher wouldn't approve of.
