List of Horrible Histories (2015 TV series) episodes (original) (raw)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Episodes of the revived British children's sketch comedy television series
The following is a list of Horrible Histories[1] episodes from Series 6 onwards, based on the book series of the same name.[2]
This was the first series to dedicate each episode to a special subject or theme. Series 6 took a look at some of history's most Rotten Rulers, a selection played by guest stars. The series began with King John for the day of Magna Carta's 800th anniversary.
The Specials II (2016)
[edit]
In 2016 three special episodes were produced and shown throughout the year, each marking a historical milestone. This included 400 years since Shakespeare's death and 350 years since the Great Fire of London, as well as a special for the BBC's 'Love to Read' campaign.
Series 7 (2017–2018)
[edit]
In 2017 another full-length series of fifteen themed episodes began airing, the premiere a month ahead of the rest of the series. The last five episodes were not aired on TV until the following spring but were available on DVD from November.
Between September 5 and September 23, the BBC ran a competition to write a sketch for Horrible Histories[6] with the winning entry by Abigail Innes (age 8) from Hull being filmed as part of the seventh series.[7] Her sketch was shown in the last episode of the series.
