''Hope you enjoyed'' Horrible Histories!|'''Theme'''}}
''Horrible Histories'' (2009-2013) is the hit live-action [[Sketch Comedy]] adaptation of Terry Deary's [[Horrible Histories|eponymous books]]. Now on its fourth series, the half-hour show airs on CBBC in the UK and the BBC Kids cable channel overseas.
Lifting its premise, content and general [[Black Comedy]] sensibilities directly from the books, ''HH'' the series is hosted by a puppet sewer rat and romps irreverently (but always with conscious accuracy) through all the strangest, silliest and most bodily-fluid-intensive moments on the road to Western Civilization. Live-action sketches -- which frequently parody current UK TV programs and personalities -- are intercut with quizzes, short animations, and at least one [[Educational Song|music video]] per episode, likewise usually a parody of a classic pop/rock genre or song.
