Don't See What All The Fuss Is About
21 January 2013 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Horrible Histories received extremely positive reviews and even won a British Comedy Award despite being a children's sketch show. When Horrible Histories started I was 7 and watched series 1 from start to finish and even then I did not understand what all the praise was about. I laughed once if I remember correctly no doubt at a joke about poo. I am now 12 and the series is still going and receiving even more critical praise. Monty Pythons Flying Circus came to my attention over the summer of 2012 and has changed my life. But HH has angered me when one of the actors said that series 3 was going to be very Pythonesque! (like Monty Python) I watched series 3 and did not find anything even remotely pythonesque or funny about it. I bestow a rating of 5/10 and 2 stars ** for Horrible Histories.
