The award-winning Horrible Histories is back and as revolting and rotten as ever!Created by some of Britain's finest comedy talents, Horrible Histories tells children about all the best bits of history and brings it to life with brilliant sketches, songs, cartoons and quizzes.
As seen on ITV this hilarious compilation features the cheekiest wackiest most outrageous best bits of both series one and two plus heaps of additional un-broadcast sketches. Likened to a Spitting Image for the 21st Century 2DTV uses caricatures and impressions of the famous to satirise the week's news. Taking an irreverent 'take no-prisoners' attitude it sends up politicians celebrities and Royals alike. The ground breaking process behind 2DTV combines traditional anim
The standard of the impressions in Dead Ringers is never less than superb, even when some of the more obvious characters (Rolf Harris, Nigella Lawson and Parkinson, for example) seem over-familiar thanks to the BBC's other similar series, Alistair McGowan's Big Impression. Others, such as Thora Hird or Tom Baker as Doctor Who, simply lack the contemporary edge present throughout the rest of the show. But for the most part the large and talented cast provide enough variety to ensure that the sketches are a pleasure to watch: be it George W Bush's "shockerating" and "erogenous" use of the English language, interviews with the aggressive Lothario Russell Crowe, the reinvention of Michael Buerk as a threatening celebrity kingpin, or the appropriately pretentious Newsnight Review send-up. One of the most unique and rewarding segments of the show captures the cast on hidden cameras interacting with members of the public while in disguise. Thus we are treated to the unusual sight of Tony Blair addressing a confused bus queue, Jimmy Hill attempting stand-up at a hostile open-mike night, and Gladiator's Maximus Decimus Meridias getting quotes from real-life builders for the reconstruction of his ransacked Roman estate. "I'm not sure I like the sound of decking, how about some Saxon paving?" On the DVD: Dead Ringers DVD features all six episodes from the first series, including the Christmas special plus the original Pilot. The only features are episode and scene selection. --Paul Philpott
