AIBU to be drooling at the television as the Horrible Histories men sing a song whilst looking very dapper in RAF uniforms

The one who is playing the Polish pilot... swoon

Third vote over here for Simon! Did anyone else see him in 'Not Going Out' the other week, and the Richard III documentary earlier this year - he was very sweet in that?

DD has a bit of thing for Adam Ant since the highwayman sketch prompted some retro You Tube viewing Grin.

marjproops · 05/06/2013 21:19

yes I saw Simon in those progs.

DC especially going mad when she saw him in the Richard lll prog.

lol theres a prog right now on bbc4 talking bout Caligula!!!! unfortunTly not Simon!

Hes brilliant. love him best as stupid death. he reminds me of a carry on character when hes a roman emperor.

DumSpiroSpero · 05/06/2013 22:34

He was very patient with the woman from the R3 society I thought!

Emz8369 · 05/06/2013 22:41

Matt for me all the way I love him in the dick turpin video

marjproops · 05/06/2013 22:43

what i would have loved in that prog about Richard lll, even though it was awful that they had stuck a sword up Rlll's buttocks, I was sooooo hoping Simon would look into the camera with that cheeky glint in his eyes he has, and say in THAT voice,'' well theres a sketch for STUPID DEATH'!!

MoreCrackThanHarlem · 06/06/2013 23:57

Matt as Charles Dickens as Morrissey

marjproops · 07/06/2013 19:29

its Jim that does it for me in the morrisey/dickens thing! hes so concentrating as Johnny Marr!!!

EagleRiderDirk · 07/06/2013 19:33

My kids rock, they bought me the first 3 series for xmas. They were only 2 and 3months Grin

chillynose · 07/06/2013 22:32

I luv the one with the long hair who does adam ant

chillynose · 07/06/2013 22:37

Matt yum yum Grin

marjproops · 08/06/2013 23:08

Is it just me that finds Greg Jenner quite cute? hes got a wierd but cute nose!

and the guy that was in the last series but havent seen him in this one so far, he was in the 'dont wake the fuhrer' sketch as the guy who came out of hitlers room with the breakfast order and was also in the Agincourt sketch and a couple of others. (you can see i dont know his name!!)

hortensemancini · 10/06/2013 10:14

marjproops would that be Jalaal Hartley? He was in the actually quite funny Touch Me, I'm Karen Taylor.

Alexaaaaaander is my new favourite HH song. The soft rock pastiches are always the best. So much sideways smouldering to camera, and a horse joke.

GreenShadow · 10/06/2013 12:00

Have a son called Alexander, so the the chorus from the song immediately became my ring tone for when he calls me!

(And yes, I think it was Jalaal Hartley too - he was also in the Roman 'Hoo Haa' sketch)

marjproops · 10/06/2013 17:38

Thats the one! thanks, hortence and green

Hortence wonder where you got your name from.....? my name is....my name is.......!!

lolaflores · 10/06/2013 17:47

Now then. I have frequent gusset wetting dreams involving Ben. many. too many to count or mention for fear of making myself look like a complete mad woman.
I have been know to get a bit pissed up and dance with my DH to the charles the II "King of Partying". Its great. Do try it.
This is the last series and I am gutted.
I even stalked them to where they do outdoors filming. I saw the back of Martha's head and then my 3 year old said she was bored and wet and could we go home..poo

marjproops · 10/06/2013 18:54

poundland are selling the HH cartoon ones so got 1 for DC.

shes watching it right now, 'vicious vikings'.

shes enjoying it.......

but.....no, not for me, not the same without Simon, Ben, Larry et al as vikings. especially Simon!

and i like HH for HH but this makes me see just how much all the actors 'make' the show what it is.

gordyslovesheep · 10/06/2013 19:55

BEN - I Love him

gordyslovesheep · 10/06/2013 20:01

Oh and it's Dominique Moore who plays Mary Seacole - we love that song!

minouminou · 10/06/2013 22:53

Ah yes! DS goes mad for her!!!!!
He gets a special look on his face!

BreconBeBuggered · 10/06/2013 23:25

MmmmmMatt. But I have a bit of a thing for Lawry Lewin as well.

marjproops · 11/06/2013 17:34

Lawrys DCS fave. hes cute though i must admit.

but Simon and Jim....oh. Jim just now doing the Tom Jones Grin

marjproops · 16/06/2013 17:56

ALEXAAAAAANNDERRRRR......

they were showing series 5 songs on a loop today on cbbc.

love all the songs but that ones fab. been in my head all day.

also, dont really find Ben all that but must admit he DOES look nice in the Rosa Parks video in the trilby!!

and DCs been with Vikingland all day.

GreenShadow · 19/06/2013 16:45

The Red Button thing is on all week at various times - link to times here.

Been listening a bit in the morning and have found the songs which I didn't necessarily fall in love with on first hearing have really grown on me. My favourites are S&G Vikings and Owain Glyndwr, closely followed by Rosa Parkes and Alexander. Not very keen on Crassus or Joan of Arc and I know everyone else likes the Dickens/Smiths one, but it's not one of my favourites. Haven't heard enough of last night's Grease one to be convinced yet, although it was nice to see all the men singing together.

marjproops · 19/06/2013 17:26

I feel the same about the 'grease' one, weakest song so far for us here.

All the men all seemed very camp in this last episode! in every sketch!

I love the dickens one, re-ignited my 80's crush on Johnny Marr!!

found 'this charming man' on you tube lst night and played it to DC and she loved it!

our faves are th S & G one and Alexander...all of them really.

Just love Simon rapping!!

Ellellie · 19/06/2013 17:33

Oh thank god for that! I thought I was the only sick one!

DS is 15 months. There's no harm in starting the education early is there?
