I've been meaning to mention that my son has been a keen reader of the Horrible Histories series of books over the last year or two, and is now very happy to watch the TV series being shown on ABC2.
The TV show is pretty good, even for adults. It's got high production values, and most sketches are at least amusing, if not laugh out loud.
I see the books have been going for much longer than I expected, and have attracted some controversy in England on occasion.
All in all, it's a good product to see out there, even if I would hate to see it result in a surplus of unemployed wannabe historians in their 20's, roaming the streets, begging passers by for any tidbit of local historical interest.
