[markthewhalekiller]

Don't cry. We're from the BBC. It's just a historical reenactment

[koodey99]

Its really wrong "I like to watch children play..."

[KrikXela]

Notice he grabs a kid, throws him in a burlap sack, tells him to stop crying, then returns him to his parents... Soooo.... Reverse kidnapping?

[ExitProducts]

[dathtyler13]

[Jazzi87]

I remember these spoofs from when they were first aired! So nice to watch them again.

[Shanondorf]

Oh my God we watched this in AP Euro history because we were bored! This guy is so fucking creepy! "I love watching children play" as he's hiding in the bushes with binoculars. OMG! It's just so creepy....

[Camunki]

...I've learnt more from this video than ALL my history lessons this year...thanks for uploading!! =]

[sikko90]

[Sanguanboon]

[bluejeckett]

"I love watching kids play, who doesnt." and I

love the placard that says "We Love Simon Shama"

[sammyoneboy]

Does anyone have the vikings one where he drinks too much mead, goes to IKEA and throws up? Priceless!

[Rokushakubo28]

Funny stuff, remember this when it 1st came out. The one about bonny prince charlie is funny, when he takes one look at Derby: "nah, this is s**t" and then walks back in train station, hilarious! and the fact i live in Derby :P

[noofworm]

does anyone have the battle of hastings episode? if so get it up ! :)

[pauliepaul999]

'like a historical zombie... scary. but informative'

[itfcgirl]

I loved this show so much when it was first on! It was what made me a Brigstocke fan. My fave bit was in the episode where he compared the Civil War to a fried breakfast.

[GeckoAnimations]

That's rather good, that - I must have missed it when it aired...

[norsef]

What's that book at the end?

[harpdevil]

Its a book by Simon Schama, he's a historian who has had his own TV series.

[norsef]

So it is.

History of Britain Volume 2.

That's actually quite sweet.

Thank you harpdevil.

Thank you.

[harpdevil]

No problem at all :)

Well look at that, youtube comments being constructive rather than just randomly bashing stuff that have nothing to do with the video :P

[ollieRotax]

they are corkers

[DMEB]

anyone got any more of these??? the battle of hastings one is the best one!!!

[TheOzzaVerse]

LoL Brigstocke's hair is SO DAMN BIG! XDDD

[sainsburys1986]

I love this esp the robin hood one if anyone saw it!

[KillerFridge]

Yes! "Apart from things weve learnt from films, the only facts we have about robbin hood are that he wore green tights, and had an american accent"

[PeterAppleseed]

interesting!

[embu07]

[chezuk]

the past has come to life like some sort of history zombie...scary but informative

[gaslegs]

Fantastic stuff! We need more episodes uploading; can't believe these have never been repeated on the telly... You've got to love David Oxley!

[collie1010]

Excellent!

[machieaveli]

This really was a gem of comedy back then. Briefly shown, but hilarious.
