GREAT NEWS! A brand new series of HORRIBLE HISTORIES starts on CBBC on 31st May 2010!! In the meantime... Another sketch from the brilliant CBBC sketch show Horrible Histories, based on the best selling books: Captain Scott checks his equipment before setting off to the South Pole... just to make sure it's completely useless.

Are you stupid or haven't you paid attention in your historyclasses? England had several colonies all over the world, therefor the spreading of the language. The first democracy was in greece. The USA didn't join WW2 until the end.

[Jeremy Clarksom]

"Until the end"? If the end was in 1941, yeah..

Pearl Harbor - December 7, 1941

I thought the USA joined in 1942, after Pearl Harbor was bombed.

Weren't the people that became native americans, aztecs and eskimos and mayans already there when the vikings arrived , so how did the vikings find it first , oh were the first European's , who the hell cares about the runners up , the number two's

True, i think the Vikings found America 500 years before anyone else

They didn't wear leather boots like they showed in the clip, but Finesko--reindeer hide boots that needed drying out every time they made camp. And they did have sled dogs, but Scott was alarmed at how poorly they coped and generally mistrusted their usefulness from the start (not to mention that the seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere, the Siberian dogs began to shed their wintercoats in may/june/july, which is the height of antarctic winter!) so they weren't used to get to the pole
