yanbu i love their songs!

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 26/07/2011 11:26

They only have audiobooks, and DVDs, but we want the songs!

Also, is it wrong to have a bit of a thing for the dude who 'does' Dick Turpin? Blush

It's bloody brilliant, my second fav kids programme. My first being Diddy Dick and Dom Blush

Spuddybean · 26/07/2011 11:30

i love it to. i was crying laughing at the Pachacuti Incan song.

I know one of the actors (he used to have a crush on me at college) and he is still in touch with a friend.

Would IBU to get back in touch with him so i can ask him all about the series?

molepom · 26/07/2011 11:30

I want the songs too.

My favorite has to be Charles the Second. Had me laughing all the way through no matter how many times I've seen it.

If you're really desperate or have lots of spare time you could always try:

They are doing a Horrible Histories Prom at the Albert Hall this Saturday . . .
more details here

bandgeek · 26/07/2011 11:38

I love the songs! I was looking them up on iTunes the other week to see if they were on there but sadly no. Pachacuti and Literally are my favourites. I really fancy the actor that plays Pachacuti Grin

Maybe we should start a campaign to get them released!

CarrieOakey · 26/07/2011 11:39

I've just double checked itunes too. They definitely need to bring out a cd. It would be on all the time in our car!!

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 26/07/2011 11:40

Tickets for the prom sold out pretty much instantly:(

I'm using an iPad so can't really use audio capture either:(

As for my favourite? Has to be HighwaymanGrin

Would do we write to?

housemum · 26/07/2011 11:40

The songs just stick in your head, loved the boy band King Georges and Spartan High School Musical. 8yo DD2 lives the programme, and 18yo DD1 watches it too (we called it revision for A level ancient history!)

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 26/07/2011 11:42

Band geek, check out the new series, he is dick Turpin too. I might have recorded that section of the showBlush

CarrieOakey · 26/07/2011 11:43

who do we write to? Blush

piprabbit · 26/07/2011 11:44

The songs are all on the CBBC website. You can download the lyrics too - so you can sing along Grin.

Here then click on Watch Clips.

I'm not picky - I'd snog any/all of them.

bandgeek · 26/07/2011 11:49

Ooh I'll have to have a look at Dick Turpin!

Would it be CBBC? I'll have to have a wee look Smile

CarrieOakey · 26/07/2011 11:51

I want to download them onto my ipod though so we can singalong in the car!!

piprabbit · 26/07/2011 11:52

Yes - it's on CBBC (not that I spend too much of my time on there, oh no. I haven't watched all the behind the scenes stuff either Blush).

DMCWelshCakes · 26/07/2011 11:56

YANBU. I'd buy it and DiddyDragon & DiddyCakes are far too young to appreciate it.

The Pachacuti song actually gave me rib ache I laughed so hard. Matthew Baynton is a comedy genius. Grin

merryberry · 26/07/2011 12:05

look at their big balls in the dance masterclass

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 26/07/2011 12:06

Did anybody see the Stephen Fry episode? I may have had a suffusion of fangirl squeeing:)

I sense a MN campaign brewing. I love it when a campaign comes together!

Bramshott · 26/07/2011 12:09

The seated tickets for Sat are all sold out, but there are still 1000 promming tickets for sale on the day. If we weren't off on holiday the following day I'd definitely be tempted to go.

Empusa · 26/07/2011 12:10

We don't even have kids and me and DH love horrible histories! Blush

Must get the DVD's

NearlySpring · 26/07/2011 12:11

I think I enjoy HH more than the kids! The sons are the best! I LOVE pachacuti, Boudicca and Black Beard! :) and Im just about to go and watch Dick Turpin.
