I am becoming dangerously obsessed with the incredibly addictive, Monty-Pythonesque Horrible Histories. Here are a couple of several songs from the third series, which is currently airing in the UK.
These are so interesting! There are certainly worse things to be addicted to! I loved the Kings & Queens of England song, just wish it was easier to remember. And love how William Wallace and Dick Turpin are "rocking out" with their cohorts in the songs. I'd never heard the story of Dick Turpin so now I'll have to go do some research on him!
Wonderful post, as usual. I just wanted to thank you for all of your excellent opinions and reviews. You inspired me to read Jane Austen, and I just finished watching Pride and Predjudice (the version with Keira Knightley, is that your favorite?). So thank you, for inspiring me to read a wonderful story.
Oh, I'm so glad that you liked that one! It is wonderful! I'm still trying to get my hands on the version with Colin Firth. Oh, and be sure to check out my blog (I just did a post on P&P, don't forget to comment!). I've read all about your thoughts on the version with Firth, but I loved Macfayden as Mr. Darcy. I don't know if anyone will be able to top his performance, but we'll have to see!
Oh, Elise! I always enjoy your blog! I only had time to watch the Kings & Queens video, but mercy, that was HILARIOUS!!! I live in the U.S, so I am quite bereft of U.K.TV shows. Thanks! ;}
I *love* Horrible Histories! So funny! Have you seen Born 2 Rule and Alexander the Great? Those are my absolute favorites and me and my siblings are always quoting/singing them. :)

Aw, thanks, Brooke! Yes, the controversial Keira Knightley version is my favourite. I am so glad you enjoyed reading P&P! :-)
Abby, you are so lucky to be in the UK right now. . .
Thanks, Traxy and Laurie!
