Horrible Histories

The Stuarts are confused by the newly discovered drink tea, a Viking funeral ends in a massive fight, a child evacuated in the Blitz thinks farm animals are monsters, and some cowboys sing about life in the Wild West.

This week opens with the "Slimy Stuarts" and looks at some of their bizarre cures in Historical Hospital. The history of how, in 1656, strange dried leaves were first introduced to hot water in the UK to make the first cuppa is also revealed.

HHTV Sports follows the sideline antics of a Viking family feud between the Olafons and the Battleaxes. A contestant from the Forties lines up to tell of his demise in Stupid Deaths and, continuing with the Woeful Second World War, a young city-based evacuee has a moo-ving and frightening encounter when he is placed at a farm.

The Incredible Incas display their unreliable messaging system and Bob Hale provides the low-down of the Incan Empire in 90 seconds.

Finally, Horrible Histories saddles up and heads to the "Awesome USA" for an advert on the many uses for a bandana and a toe-tapping medley about Cowboys.
