HeidiKC Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I am new to this - just discovered a bunch of youtube Horrible Histories segments - awesome! Anyway, I wonder if there is anywhere, any way that I can find a list (chronological would be fabulous, of course) of these. And maybe the youtube videos of the songs that go with the episodes??? I am probably asking for the moon, but thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas! I can't really tell what is all even there, since different people have downloaded them and names aren't standard, etc. Or if anyone can recommend a youtube user that has uploaded these, that'd be great.

JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I often google a show name and episodes to get such a list. Wikipedia, IMDB and a couple other sites often have such a list. Now I must go to youtube and watch these. I wondered how I would find them! Thanks!!

Yes, but I think it's just random people posting these, with whatever name they want to rather than the official one. Right??? What does it look like to you (once you find them!).

KarenNC Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Are these the animated or live ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenangelcat Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 What kind of order? I'm asking because the episodes themselves have no order. There's bits and pieces of different peoples (Romans, Viking etc) in each episode. No regard to time or subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug's Mom Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I just looked on youtube and it's the live-action series. I then googled and found this page which lists all of the episodes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horrible_Histories_%282009_TV_series%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Amazon has them on disc in NON-US FORMAT if you happen to live somewhere else. I would love to see these on disc here in the US. For those who don't know, these are based on a book series. There is a science series as well. If you are interested I highly recommend Ray's Horrible Books. http://www.horriblebooks.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaMa2005 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I found 25 of them here - http://www.youtube.com/user/horriblehistoriesBBC?feature=relchannel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The other problem appears to be that lots of the folks on YouTube are posting parts of shows not whole shows. It gets confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then googled and found this page which lists all of the episodes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horrible_Histories_%282009_TV_series%29 That is exactly the sort of list I was talking about. The YouTube videos seem to be broken down into the sketches listed in each episode. You would probably have to put them in historical order yourself as the series seemed to cover a bit of every thing in each episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiKC Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thank you all! I did find the BBC ones, and then of course from there you can find tons. But I don't think they seem to be organized in any fashion. I've got a notion to create playlists based on time period and/or country and will share if I get around to it!

mama2cntrykids Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Awesome!! My boys will LOVE these. What a fun way to supplement history! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 They aren't organized in any particular fashion, although there may be a common thread with 2 or 3 sketches in a show (like the Tudors song and the song about Henry VIII's wives). If you want to watch the shows on YouTube, I recommend putting "Horrible Histories series 1 episode 1" in your search bar. Some users have uploaded the shows, but they're broken into 3 different segments, so you'd start with series 1, episode 1, part 1. I recommend the DVDs. I bought them and play them on my computer in the US without a problem. The videos are MUCH clearer, and you can select by scene, so if we want to watch all of them "Rotten Romans" sketches on a disc without anything else, we can. I actually put in order some of the episodes/sketches that were pertinent to US history for our history studies this year. I can't wait for series 3 to come out on DVD.

Hannah Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Amazon has them on disc in NON-US FORMAT if you happen to live somewhere else. [/url] They are absolutely worth the £4.85 from Amazon.co.uk. (We have very expensive internet, though, so that comes into play in my decision to buy). The sketches in each episode of the series sets are of different time periods. I don't have them, but the disks that are by time period are apparently animated only and not as good as the live performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfishes Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 We love horrible histories,but we have not found them in historical order,the shows tend to jump from one era to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daysaregifts Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 What ages are these appropriate for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisabees Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I bought them and play them on my computer in the US without a problem. Really? That would be fabulous! :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiKC Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 What ages are these appropriate for? I'd say middle school would appreciate them most. I think younger kids might like some of them, but the accent might be a bit hard for some younger Americans, and I also think the humor might be lost on them sometimes. I plan on having all my kids watch them, though. I showed my 12yo "Lions vs. Christians" and he didn't really get why it was so hilarious, while my husband and I were just cracking up!
