Try watching Horrible Histories on CBBC.

Yes, I know it's a kids programme, but it's brilliant.

It's coming to primetime tv later this year, with the (sometimes) ubiquitous Stephen Fry involved.

My grandson loves it .I didn't know what it was all about but he was watching it over my house and yes it is very educational and easy for younger ones to understand.

We all watch it in our house Hopkirk. One of the best children's programmes on telly.
