Podcasts about Horrible Histories

Double BAFTA winning and shapeshifting actor Adeel Akhtar has been seen on screen in Murdered by My Father, Sherwood and Fool Me Once and on stage he's currently playing a politician in The Estate. Terry Deary is the bestselling author of Horrible Histories and has now written his first adult crime thriller…Actually, I'm A Murderer. And Charlotte Philby is the investigative journalist, author of spy thrillers, and has uncovered the women behind her grandfather's double life as one of the Cambridge Five. All that...plus the “Never Ending” Inheritance Tracks of Kajagoogoo star and singer Limahl. Presenters: Nikki Bedi and Huw StephensProducer: Catherine Powell

What do you do when you've already sold over 36 million copies of your Horrible Histories books? You write the kind of book that you, as a reader, would kill to read. And Terry Deary's first love was always murder mysteries, so this year he brings us his first: Actually, I'm Murderer. We sat down with him to discover more about the incident in 1974 that inspired it, how he found his way to writing and what keeps him inspired.

In this star-studded and strength-fuelled episode of The Fit2 Perform Podcast, we shine the spotlight on the brilliant Hannah Boyce—a powerhouse performer whose journey spans the West End, international stages, national tours, and now… your Netflix homepage.From smashing it as Caprice in The Comedy About a Bank Robbery to stealing scenes in Sex Education as Harriet Anders, Hannah's career has been anything but predictable—and her commitment to health, strength, and performer wellbeing makes her the perfect Fit2 Perform guest.In this episode:

Forget the storybook version of British history. Churchill without Hitler would be a forgotten windbag with a record of failure. Elizabeth I and Francis Drake didn't defeat the Spanish – bad luck and bad weather sank the Armada. And Boudicca would be remembered as a sadistic tyrant if not for the Romans. Creator of the multi-million-selling kids' series Horrible Histories Terry Deary brings his irreverent, fact-packed style to adult readers with A History of Britain in Ten Enemies. He tells Andrew Harrison why history isn't what it used to be.  • Buy A History of Britain in Ten Enemies  through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale. Bookshop.org's fees help support independent bookshops too. • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Paul and Eli want to end the year in style so have decided to rent out a room in the newly decorated “Spoff & Pickle” Pub.

With those rules in place, it's time for a BUMPER episode of the economy comedy podcast. Joining Paul and Eli are special guests Ethan Lawrence (Afterlife, Horrible Histories) and Louis King for a mammoth knees-up (What happened to Ash and Tom?).

Simon Farnaby is famed for his parts in Ghosts, Horrible Histories and Detectorists, but it's his starring role in that iconic sketch from the Diamond Jubilee, seen over 30 million times on YouTube, in which he served the late Queen tea with Paddington Bear. Indeed, he was one of the writers of Paddington 2 – and his latest screenplay, Wonka, is actually a musical origin story of Roald Dahl's eccentric chocolatier. But Simon's Inheritance Tracks are not necessarily the golden ticket he'd have hoped for.

"Brilliant Black British History" is the name of a new children's book which claims, amongst other things, that Stonehenge was built by black people and that Britain was a black country for a lot longer than it was white. This book is the latest in a long series of print and online publications to claim that black people have been a notable presence in Britain for a lot longer than the traditionally accepted mid-20th century. On today's Deprogrammed, hosts Harrison Pitt, a senior editor at the European Conservative, and Evan Riggs, freelance writer, are joined by Tom Rowsell, historian, filmmaker and youtuber at Survive the Jive: https://youtube.com/@Survivethejive Tom recently debunked a BBC children's "Horrible Histories" music video which claimed black people had played a leading role in Britain since Roman times.

The BBC produced a song for the Horrible Histories children's program called 'Been Here From the Start' which makes several spurious, misleading and outright false claims about black people living in ancient Britain. From Cheddar man to Septimius Severus and the Moors, I debunk the lies contained in the BBC video and present the truth.

Carl, Callum, and Connor discuss the current controversy around Russell Brand, how Horrible Histories is now fake history, and what's happening in Lampedusa.

Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by Horrible Histories alum Ben Willbond, ancient DNA experts Prof Turi King and Dr Tom Booth and Nobel prize winner Sir Paul Nurse, as they uncover some of the incredible revelations being revealed through study of ancient DNA. The discovery of the skeleton of Richard III under a Leicester car park made headlines around the world.Turi King talks about her involvement in identifying the regal remains using DNA extracted from his teeth and how she was able to prove that these ancient bones really did belong to King Richard. The panel also hear about a mysterious box of bones found in Winchester Cathedral purporting to date from the 8th and 9th century that could belong to some of our ancient Anglo Saxon kings and queens of England, including those of King Canute and his wife Queen Emma. Could the study of ancient DNA change our understanding of history, and perhaps even upset the line of succession? New episodes are released on Saturdays.
