Default Horrible Histories Charles Darwin Song

OK this is way cool. And a very interesting way of getting a message across.
Annie found this whilst looking for education resources.

It's awesome.



And seeing as I am a mod keeping an eye on this area, I get to make decisions on off topic stuff. Great!!

Can't see it as I'm at work but pretty sure seen it before on.....Horrible Histories.

It's a fucking awesome show and a great educational show to boot, I recommend it for adults and kids alike. I know I would have loved it if it was on when I was a kid.........wait wut? I am still a kid!

As many of you will attest to

Oh ABC 3 I think, it's on pretty regularly.

You're onto it. I've only been watching it because I have a 10 year old. ABC3. Classic British satire. They only got hired because they can keep a straight face. The numbers, love the numbers.

I have the boxed set and the boys in my class love it. They are always milling around the set and asking to borrow one at the beginning of silent reading. Anything that motivates them that much has got to be great!

Its an added bonus that religions get no favours or special privileges in this series and their histories aren't glorified, for want of a better word.

I intend to get the Horrible Science set soon.
