- Horrible Histories is pretty good. The reboot is not good. King John... maybe the worst. And Magna Carta... the best? Genghis Khan... GOOD?!
And BBC copyright... definitely bad.

You didn't even point out how the song says Magna Carta is what you're taught at school, even though Horrible Histories is supposed to be stuff they don't teach you at school.
THANK YOU. ive been thinking this since they rebooted it
Gets even worse when the episode probably teaches less than what a school would teach about the Magna Carta so that's 100% against the point of the show
We used to learn about the magna carta, before they decided they want to lower the reading age so the public couldn't scrutinise toe rag politicians as effectively.
If given the choice between the old HH and the new it would be the old one every day. Its a shame they couldn't find the rite replacements for Mathew Baton and the 6 idiots.
The only good thing about this episode was that it introduced to me "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers.
I remember watching the sixth season for the first time in 2018, when it was dubbed into Portuguese alongside with the fifth (final 2009-2013) season. At that time I had already disliked the dubbing itself for the fifth season, but when I got to watch the sixth, I was really embarrassed and shocked with disappointment,
Dumb songs, dumb costumes, stories that come from nowhere and go to nowhere. I mean, if you write a sketch programme, like the original series, then there's nothing wrong with one sketch being dissociate from the other, but when you try to write a programme based entirely on a character, and there's no connection between the scenes and the general argument, then there's something pretty damn wrong with what you're trying to do.
I watched it still, because there wasn't really anything else for me to do in the afternoons, when it was aired on TV.
The seventh, eighth and ongoing seasons, nonetheless, I think I'll never watch. They were never dubbed, but even if they were, I would still not watch them. I tried one of the new episodes last year on BBC iPlayer, but everything felt so wrong and out of place. The songs are lacking a good production, the lyrics are too infantilized, they don't really tell anything, there are innumerous dialogues and small talks that lead you to nowhere. My impression is that the show is now viewed as some sort of a cartoon, where the characters are always silly, colorful, making faces and running around the same ideia until the episode is over. You summarized quite well when you said that the sketch about King John in the fourth season had the same amount of (or more) information than the whole episode in the new series.
It's a shame that such a wonderful programme had to end like this. I wonder if even the children like this new format, for me, it's unbearable.
I must say, I loved this, and wouldn’t mind more ripping up HH Reboot stuff, because it is, well, horrible.
When they could have cast anyone as King John, maybe someone who would be especially recognized by kids, why Ben Miller? I’m American and though I consumed a lot of British media, I was an adult already, even when the OG HH aired. Only other kids show I’ve watched was Peppa Pig, which my husband and I actually enjoyed even without kids watching with us. I watched OG Horrible Histories with my nieces though, because I’m a huge fan of history and wanted them to be, too.
Miller might have more recognition in Britain than the rest of the world as he was the main lead of Death in Paradise for some time, but I’m not sure how recognisable that would make him for children, and I think in general across Series 6 the guests only get more obscure so you can see why they eventually turned to bringing back members of the old casts or established talent like Rowan Atkinson.
Pretty good analysis of why the reboot is pretty mid! I know you probably won't make any more videos talking about the reboot in case you might die of cringe, but it'll really interesting to hear your thoughts on the rest of the episodes/season!
Oh, I'm definitely making more! I plan to do all of series 6 at least but I think doing the whole show would be interesting. Probably not for a bit though, because it took my 2 weeks to get this one uploaded because of copyright issues. But I will do more eventually!
Well done mate, this was an absolutely brilliant video. Top drawer 👍
