Horrible Histories Makes History in the Telegraph’s Top Three
We’re thrilled to see Horrible Histories recognised as the third best children’s TV show of all time in The Telegraph’s list of the 50 greatest children’s TV shows.
Since first hitting screens in 2009, Horrible Histories has transformed the way children engage with the past, combining sharp comedy, brilliant performances and genuinely fascinating history. Produced by Lion Television, the series has become a much-loved favourite across generations, proving that learning about history can be every bit as entertaining as it is educational.
A huge congratulations to Richard Bradley, Simon Welton and the entire Horrible Histories team, whose creativity and talent have helped make the show such an enduring success.
