Horrible Histories Live! Bob Hale's Jubilee Report 03/06/2012

The one and only, incomparable, Bob Hale reports live from Tower Bridge during the Queen's Jubilee Celebration today.

Sadly, as noted by the airhead who introduced Bob in this clip, this was only one of three, yes three, new HH sketches that were planned, but thanks to the BBC caring more for covering a bunch of boats lumbering down the Thames and their insipid hosts flubbing their lines, this is the only one the crew got to air. Now isn't that a load of poo.

Oh this was the highlight of my evening...when I was actually watching part of the jubilee on the news I was thinking that Horrible Histories should be on it especially with Bobsie here and lo and behold I ind this video!!! Thanks for the upload!!!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, the pleasure was mine. Anything to feed the need of fellow HH fans.

Thanks from the States for posting this so Bob could run that by me again. We saw the flotilla on BBC America. Wonder what the other two "lessons" were about. If enough people were watching here, HH could catch on.

[Lee JS]

It was no trouble at all. I hope it could catch on in the States and everywhere else, it is worthy of the attention and it may help them expand, finally, into a live traveling show or movie. One can only hope.

Thumbs up in support for Horrible Histories!!

[Lee JS]

You are very welcome. Anything with Laurence is upload worthy, especially when he's dear ole Bobsy.

Go Larry!

I'm not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was. The man has weird ideas and regulations concerning his franchise - apparently he hates pupils reading his books as part of class lessons.

Apparently, there were supposed to be other Horrible Histories sketches that day, some of which would have included Mat and Jim, but because of those stupid slow boats they were not shown.

I'm just amazed you can see members of the police and the armed forces there enjoying the show as well. Really goes to show how good HH is.

[scottsinclair1986]

So you lot in America aren't able to see it? That's a real shame because it would probably fly off there if it had the chance. In fact if it did I wouldn't be surprised if there was an American version of Horrible Histories made as well.

All hail Bob Hale!

Is it true that Terry Deary was disappointed with HH sketches being a part of the jubilee celebrations?

Larry / Bob is awesome!

Bob Hale is an awesome history teacher. I found his videos when we watched one of his on youtube in World History class :p

This is just incredible.
