Horrible Histories series 5 n starting next monday! AND Gory games!

[marjproops]

DCs going MAD! like at Christmas, she can't wait.

mind you, nor can I.

and gory games straight after that. love rattus and dave Lamb together.

Anyone elses DCs (or anyone else!) waiting in anticipation?

[Gracelo]

Yes, glam rock that's it. I couldn't remember any of the band names.

[GameSetAndMatch]

That Abba spoof was clever wasnt it? especially Jim on the table 'paino'.

only one Mat scene though.

Lawreys looking very odd these days.

Love the apprentice spoofs.

[GreenShadow]

Hello. How come I've only just spotted this thread?

Loving this series as ever, but finding that most the songs take a few hearings before I fall in love with them. Only heard today's once and not quite convinced yet. I've always thought they ought to do an Abba number, but not sure this was what I had in mind.

[Gracelo]

The ABBA song was great. They managed to fit so many song references in and Jim "playing" the table was funny.
Not enough Mat again in this episode.

[GameSetAndMatch]

ha. the kylie spoof was good too. lots of Mat today!

[GameSetAndMatch]

CBBC is showing HH from series 1 at 10.30 am monday-friday.

very 1st episode was on today. love the 'black spot' sketch.

and the 4 georges song!

they all still look the same, except Ben. He looks so young there!

[GameSetAndMatch]

theres a series coming up soon by the cast of HH called Yonderland. its going to be on sky 1 and a family show. saw a trailer on sky for it. looks interesting.

main character played by Martha ,and Simon is a villian!

[GreenShadow]

Well, tonight's the night.

Are we all ready for the final episode?

Apparently the song is a bit different and 'OTT' - looking forward to it but with obvious sadness as it feel like the end of an era.

[GameSetAndMatch]

about to start! last one ever .

next week theyre doing a song compilation but still

[GreenShadow]

And 2 specials to look forward to later, but still......

[GameSetAndMatch]

anyone else cry just now?! that last big song did it!

[GreenShadow]

That song was impressive!
And while they were recording the last series they all kept pretending it wasn't necessarily the last - who were they kidding!

[GameSetAndMatch]

wondered why Larry was hardly in it-apart from Bob Hale, then he turned up in the song.

and Lawry with his awful singing-bless him! in the song too.

made me cry as they invited back Dominique, Sarah, the black guy (dont know his name), but where was Alice?

but they got in the faves didnt they? stupid death, Bob Hale.

cant believe its all over! child is a bit teary about it, and setting ME off!

[basildonbond]

eek I didn't realise it was the last one (although that last song was obviously meant as an elegy)

on the series info it said 12/15 so we thought phew there's 3 more ...

[GameSetAndMatch]

apparantly there are 2 music specials coming next week and the week after, plus a ww1 special and something for valentines next year?

but yesterdays was obviously the last ''official'' episode IYKWIM.

missing it already! we saw a trailer for the apprentice and even that set me off ''oh no, no more brilliant Jim impersonation!'

plus junior masterchef was on and i was like 'oh no more Ben as john and Jim as Greg!'

.....goes off to get a life......

[GreenShadow]

Sorry to disappoint, but only one music episode next week I'm afraid.

[GameSetAndMatch]

says 15 episodes and theres only been 13 and 14 with music one? so whats the 15th then?

[GreenShadow]

There's been 12 'proper' episodes so far this season, Savage Songs next week is no. 13, plus the two specials next year (14 and 15)

[GreenShadow]

As we have come to the end of the new episodes with just the Savage Songs to look forward to, I though now might be a good time to see what the most popular song was from this series.
I've put together a very simple SurveyMonkey thing where you can rank all the songs from S5 in order.
Please have a go - the more responses we get, the more accurate it will be - Click here for link to survey

[GameSetAndMatch]

done it green. that was fun¬! thanks

[GameSetAndMatch]

green dont know if you've done it before, but can you make a survey of the other series songs too?

that was fun to do, and me and DC agree on our pecking order!

series one songs then so on and so forth?

pleeeeaaassseee?

[GreenShadow]

Hi Game. Yes, I could do one for the other series, but not sure I'd get many people to respond. May be I'll do one later - doesn't really matter if there are only a few replies after all does it.

The current poll started off on one of the (many) Facebook fan pages. So far we've got 18 responses and quite a wide range of favourites, although there is one song which definitely stands out as least popular song. I've tweeted some of the cast asking them to re-tweet the link so might get some more responses.

I'll let it run until Monday probably then let you know the results.

[GameSetAndMatch]

ooh which one is the least? i wonder if the same as ours (if i remember wich one Id put!)

[GreenShadow]

Joan of Arc is least popular, by quite a long way. Followed by Australia.

Greg Jenner has re-tweeted it for me, and there are suddenly 28 replies!

The Finale is most popular at the moment.

[GameSetAndMatch]

REALLY???? Joans was up around the middle for us, and the finale i think was the least, with australia the next to last, even though i thought it was a clever spoof but i cant stand Kylie!!

our top ones were vikingland ,Alexaaaaander, minted, and dickens i think.

dont like jessie j but thought joan was rteally good and that video started a mini crushette on Mat from me!!!!
