madi b @RT75587668 Oct 16 Horrible Histories is an iconic show. It creates interests in history due to its fun concepts and segments. The segments target all audiences, specifically young adults, as the way that the humour is delivered and how the segments are parodies of popular British shows ( 'X-Factor' and 'Come Dine with me'). This TV show raised me and has benefited me within history classes because of the songs and memorable episodes. You will never get tired of re-watching this show!
