00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:31,610
Horrible Histories. #
10
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:41,649
Yo, yo, yo! MC mouse is in da house.
Well, actually I'm a rat,
11
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:44,129
but MC rat in da flat

12
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:46,889
Anyhow, time to get this song special started,
13
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:49,929
so let's rock back to the Stone Age!
14
00:00:49,930 --> 00:00:53,929
Not that this is a rock song, it's actually jazz.
15
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:57,689
And so you've heard the Stone Age occurred
16
00:00:57,690 --> 00:00:59,610
For two and a half million years
17
00:01:00,890 --> 00:01:03,649
But there's more of Stone Age to engage
18
00:01:03,650 --> 00:01:06,410
Than maybe it first appears
19
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:11,289
Dinosaurs, Neanderthals let's make this clearer
20
00:01:11,290 --> 00:01:13,689
Didn't live together came from different eras
21
00:01:13,690 --> 00:01:17,089
That's not all I can tell
ya So much more to be known
22
00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:19,809
About the many phases in the ages of stone
23
00:01:19,810 --> 00:01:23,009
Shoo be do be do wop it's all the rage

00:01:23,010 --> 00:01:25,409
So skiddly bop do wop
brush up on your Stone Age
25
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:26,889
Oh, yeah!
26
00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:28,769
All right!
27
00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:31,329
It's fine to define the Neo-Palaeolithic
28
00:01:31,330 --> 00:01:34,409
But you're gonna have
to be a little more specific
29
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:37,489
Do you mean lower when
ancient beings first used tools
30
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:40,569
Or metal Palaeolithic when Neanderthal ruled?
31
00:01:40,570 --> 00:01:43,289
That's when Homo sapiens starts to emerge
32
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:46,329
But just in Africa, it's
long before the global surge
33
00:01:46,330 --> 00:01:49,409
Not till upper Palaeolithic 40,000 years ago
34
00:01:49,410 --> 00:01:52,609
Did Neanderthal and Homo sapiens say hello
35
00:01:52,610 --> 00:01:55,649
Neanderthal and Homo sapi
36
00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:58,649
Living in caveman harmony
37
00:01:58,650 --> 00:02:01,289
Language was invented cave painting art
38
00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:04,209
Then Palaeolithic ended which meant the start
39
00:02:04,210 --> 00:02:07,369
Of phase two be do be do wop turn a new page
40
00:02:07,370 --> 00:02:10,169
Skiddly bop do wop brush up on your Stone Age
41
00:02:10,170 --> 00:02:13,529
Oh, yeah! All right!
42
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:16,409
This is where it starts to get all scientific
43
00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:18,889
Palaeolithic's followed by the era Mesolithic
44
00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:22,009
Then Neanderthals are wiped
out by the ice age, horrific
45
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:25,169
After which the Neolithic age was terrific
46
00:02:25,170 --> 00:02:27,969
Man learned to farm, build
homes so they could settle
47
00:02:27,970 --> 00:02:30,969
Then some other folks turned
up and they discovered metal
48
00:02:30,970 --> 00:02:33,769
Bigger men from Europe
found bronze and outgrown
49
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:36,889
The simple and traditional ways of stone
50
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:40,449
Bronze Age was invented by now man was flying
51
00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:43,169
Cos hot on his heels came the age of iron
52
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:45,769
Celts, Druids, religion and Rome
53
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:49,089
By now a distant memory those ages of stone
54
00:02:49,090 --> 00:02:51,929
Shoo be do be do wop since that metallic stage
55
00:02:51,930 --> 00:02:54,369
Skiddly bop do wop there was no more Stone Age
56
00:02:54,370 --> 00:02:57,649
Sho be do be do wop now you know what is known
57
00:02:57,650 --> 00:03:00,249
About the many phases of the ages of stone. #
58
00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:04,249
Ye-e-eah!
59
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:05,530
All right!
60
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:09,449
Time for the next song. You ain't wrong,
61
00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:11,969
it's Egyptian star, Cleopatra.
62
00:03:11,970 --> 00:03:14,089
Rah rah, Cleopatra
63
00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:16,049
Famous beauty coming at ya
64
00:03:16,050 --> 00:03:17,969
Rah rah, Patracleo
65
00:03:17,970 --> 00:03:19,769
Guys all go gaga for me-o
66
00:03:19,770 --> 00:03:23,409
I am a leader and a lady and a Queen
67
00:03:23,410 --> 00:03:27,329
I'm Cleopatra, such a Queen never been seen
68
00:03:27,330 --> 00:03:30,809
I am a pharaoh, yet
they're all meant to be guys
69
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:35,289
But I don't care-o,
I just wear-o a beard disguise
70
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:38,449
My mum and dad were
pharaohs I thought I was too
71
00:03:38,450 --> 00:03:42,449
But both my older sisters
thought that they should rule too
72
00:03:42,450 --> 00:03:45,330
Oh dear they both died
I wonder who that will leave
73
00:03:46,490 --> 00:03:50,169
Little me-o pharaoh Cleo OK, no time to grieve
74
00:03:50,170 --> 00:03:54,689
Think that's alarming,
you'd be right but it gets worse
75
00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:58,849
Married my half brother
and we ruled the universe
76
00:03:58,850 --> 00:04:01,609
That bad romance led to an overcrowded throne
77
00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:05,529
But then he died, boo hoo So now I rule alone
78
00:04:05,530 --> 00:04:06,970
Woah woah woah woah woah
79
00:04:08,010 --> 00:04:09,289
All hail lady Cleo
80
00:04:09,290 --> 00:04:10,450
Woah woah woah la la
81
00:04:11,610 --> 00:04:12,930
Coolest pharaoh by far
82
00:04:16,850 --> 00:04:19,209
Fashion topped my list of vices
83
00:04:19,210 --> 00:04:21,169
Bathed in asses' milk and spices
84
00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:24,409
Then I dressed like goddess
Isis Long black hair in ringlets nicest
85
00:04:24,410 --> 00:04:26,489
Vipers too for men entices
86
00:04:26,490 --> 00:04:29,130
Finest linen robe, top prices
87
00:04:32,890 --> 00:04:36,289
Married another brother, he's an OK geezer
88
00:04:36,290 --> 00:04:39,889
But never told of my love for Julius Caesar
89
00:04:39,890 --> 00:04:43,889
Had Caesar's child and
hoped that he'd be crowned king
90
00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:47,489
My bro said no, I said oh and I murdered him
91
00:04:47,490 --> 00:04:51,089
Cos I am Cleopatra Egypt's royalty
92
00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:55,409
The ruling pharaoh
don't you dare-o mess with me
93
00:04:55,410 --> 00:04:58,649
My poker face smiles only when I see
94
00:04:58,650 --> 00:05:02,729
A man who takes my fancy like, oh, Mark Antony
95
00:05:02,730 --> 00:05:05,410
- Woah woah woah woah woah
- Another Roman leader
96
00:05:06,610 --> 00:05:09,290
Woah woah woah la la No Egyptian crowd pleaser
97
00:05:10,330 --> 00:05:14,129
- Rah rah, Cleopatra
- Finally I'd met my match-a
98
00:05:14,130 --> 00:05:17,729
- Rah rah, Patracleo
- Ends in death for him and me-o
99
00:05:17,730 --> 00:05:21,809
My life was a drama I was one kooky mamma
100
00:05:21,810 --> 00:05:24,969
Woah woah woah you know
101
00:05:24,970 --> 00:05:29,129
Today I'd be a favourite of the paparazzo. #
102
00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:31,569
No pictures, no pictures.
103
00:05:31,570 --> 00:05:34,449
Are you liking my music mix so far, eh?
104
00:05:34,450 --> 00:05:37,329
You should be. I'm the best DJ in the world!
105
00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:41,089
If you think I like to boast,
you've never met a Celtic warrior.
106
00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:42,409
Let's have a...
107
00:05:42,410 --> 00:05:44,249
Boast battle!
108
00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:45,689
BEATBOXING
109
00:05:45,690 --> 00:05:48,569
So let's clear the air Grab a chair
110
00:05:48,570 --> 00:05:50,729
I got flair when I fight a bear
111
00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:53,009
I rip off it's skin for my wife to wear
112
00:05:53,010 --> 00:05:55,609
I did it for a dare I'm your worst nightmare
113
00:05:55,610 --> 00:05:57,489
Look close, check out my facial hair
114
00:05:57,490 --> 00:06:02,049
Relax, face facts, a fight
with you would be an anticlimax
115
00:06:02,050 --> 00:06:04,329
When you go to war,
you don't take off your slacks
116
00:06:04,330 --> 00:06:06,649
Look at me, I'm tough I fight in the buff
117
00:06:06,650 --> 00:06:10,009
- I could say more but I've said enough, so...
- Boast battle!
118
00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:12,409
- Have grace, shut your face
- Boast battle!
119
00:06:12,410 --> 00:06:13,529
You're well off the pace
120
00:06:13,530 --> 00:06:15,809
Seems to me that you're not even skilled
121
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:22,899
I'd stab you right now but I'm trying to chill
122
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,639
In a rage, on the rampage
123
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,639
I've killed more men than old age
124
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,319
- Boast battle!
- And I've only just begun
125
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,679
- Boast battle!
- And I'm not even done
126
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,959
You're just killing the enemy That's lazy
127
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,159
I kill my own people I'm that crazy
128
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,679
I go berserk and my eyes go glazy
129
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,719
I get so mad I could stab a daisy... #
130
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,839
But I won't, cos that would be...stupid
131
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,959
All right, all right, stop! Think a while
132
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,839
Look at your style, man, that's vile
133
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,159
Looks like you've been dressed by a reptile
134
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,359
I'm dressed like a king
I wear a torc round my neck
135
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,639
When I'm doing my killing
On my finger, I'm wearing a ring
136
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,519
When I said I fight nude,
I wasn't counting my bling, yeah
137
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,279
- Boast battle!
- And I paint myself blue
138
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:10,639
- Boast battle!
- That's way, way cooler than you
139
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,199
So much better than you that you ought to bow
140
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,239
I'd fight you but you wouldn't know how
141
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,279
Enough of the talk, yeah? End this now
142
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,919
I can sum it all up in just one word... #
143
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,879
Oww!
144
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,800
Mu-um!
145
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,479
Those Celts might think they're tough,
146
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,360
but they're nothing compared
to this Middle Ages Scottish rebel.
147
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,359
I am William Wallace My life was a mystery
148
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,399
Some say born 1272, some say 1263
149
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,639
Was that Malcolm of Paisley Maybe Alan from Ayr
150
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,679
Did I have a wife or no? Do you really care?
151
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,719
They say I had a big red
beard but all you need to know
152
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,959
I was a Scottish rebel
and the English were my foe
153
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,279
William Wallace, Scottish rebel
154
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,159
This is war, I cried
155
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,359
Many English fought me
156
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,600
And many English died
157
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,959
I took against the English
back when I was fairly wee
158
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,279
Cos an Englishman called
Selby bullied my whole family
159
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,039
It upset me so I struck
him dead Well, wouldn't you?
160
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,399
An English sheriff came
along Guess what? I killed him too
161
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,279
They say he killed my
wife so he deserved what he got
162
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,359
Then England's King Ed came for me
163
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,759
Oh, I'm scared...not!
164
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,799
William Wallace, Scottish rebel
165
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,119
Possibly six foot seven
166
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,919
But all that really matters is
167
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,439
I sent Englishmen to heaven
168
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,559
40,000 English came to Stirling Bridge for me
169
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:50,639
They had to cross a narrow
bridge to get to us, you see
170
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,559
We held them off, pushed
them back, it was no contest
171
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:55,439
Bridge collapsed hundreds drowned
172
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,159
Of course I killed the rest
173
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,959
Celebrated Stirling Bridge another Scottish win
174
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:03,559
By decorating my sword
with the English General's skin
175
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,399
William Wallace, Scottish rebel
176
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,719
Scottish legend too
177
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,679
Fought for Scottish freedom
178
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:16,039
Was a hero through and through
179
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,080
GUITAR SOLO
180
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,799
Here's where my rebel story comes unstuck
181
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,559
At Falkirk defeated I'd run out of luck
182
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:33,399
Spent seven years playing hide and seek
183
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,639
Captured, sent to London,
tried for treason, what a cheek
184
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,999
King Ed hanged me then a lovely touch
185
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,800
Pulled my guts out Guess he didn't like me much
186
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,279
Ye-e-e-eah!
187
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,079
William Wallace, Scottish rebel
188
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,439
In Scotland my heart lived
189
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,119
Though sadly my head wound up
190
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,279
On a spike on London Bri-i-idge. #
191
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,919
Ooh, that smarts!
192
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,399
Time for some Aztec priests to change the mood,
193
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,880
so let's see you get on down at the disc-aztec.
194
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,239
We're Aztec priests so mind your head
195
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,239
Our prisoners always wind up dead
196
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,239
Our favourite colour
is blood red We're not nice
197
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,479
At an Aztec temple's opening day
198
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,799
We priests would please the gods this way
199
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,799
Hordes of enemies we'd slay by sacrifice
200
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,199
To win at war make crops grow more
201
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,119
To cure our kids when ill
202
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,359
The sun to shine this song to rhyme
203
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,359
More victims we must kill
204
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,719
Ha ha ha ha
205
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,439
You won't survive You won't survive
206
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,919
Ha ha ha ha
207
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,239
Ain't staying alive Ain't staying alive
208
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,079
Ye-e-eah
209
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,239
With sacrifice, we priests appease
210
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,519
Our gods, each powerful big cheese
211
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,679
Let's hear it for your favourites please
212
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:05,759
O-o-oh
213
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,879
We're doing it for Toci
214
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,039
The Aztec goddess of the earth's heart
215
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,399
We're doing it for Chantico
216
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,399
Goddess who makes volcanoes start
217
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,359
We're doing it for Itzli
218
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,199
The goddess of stone knives
219
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,839
We're doing it for Itztlacoliuhqui
220
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,159
Chiconahuiehecatl... #
221
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,199
Er... Some other gods' great lives
222
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,999
Ha ha ha ha
223
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,359
Don't cross us Aztecs we advise ya
224
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,359
Ha ha ha ha
225
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,959
Or you'll end up as fertiliser
226
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,399
Ye-e-eah
227
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,999
Our year starts in November
228
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,159
When every priestly member
229
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,039
Is asked if they'll remember our Aztec dead
230
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,079
We do this if you haven't guessed
231
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,119
By getting something off your chest
232
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,439
Your heart would probably
be best or else your head
233
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,359
And then on our year planners
it's the raising of the banners
234
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,999
And it's only polite manners
235
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,399
To kill more guys
236
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,559
December and January dismembering methods vary
237
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,639
All you need to know is that we pile 'em high
238
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,079
May and June, it's summer
time the killing is easy
239
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,999
It's only halfway through the year
240
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,999
Bet you're feeling queasy
241
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,519
In autumn time, we sweep our
homes and kill some more, but then
242
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,559
By late October the killing's over
243
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:28,639
Then it starts up again
244
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,959
Ha ha ha ha
245
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,959
You won't survive You won't survive
246
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,959
Ha ha ha ha
247
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,999
Ain't staying alive Ain't staying alive
248
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,399
Ha ha ha ha
249
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,439
Want to live until you're old?
250
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,479
Ha ha ha ha
251
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,319
Avoid us priests You've been told. #
252
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,799
Ha-ha-ha!
253
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,679
Middle Ages' King Richard
III came in for a lot of bad press.
254
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:54,719
But did he really deserve it?
255
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Take it away, little Richard.
256
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,039
I was sure that you'd love me
257
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,159
To that hope I did cling
258
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,159
Cos I'm Richard III
259
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,559
And everybody loves a king
260
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:15,919
Thought I did a good job Why do you disagree?
261
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,319
There's a lot of people
spreading nasty rumours 'bout me
262
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,399
Every word is a lie so I'm singing this song
263
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,119
Cos the history books
have been telling it wrong
264
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,039
Never had a limp Always walked my full height
265
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,039
Never had a hump and my arm was all right
266
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,279
Never took the Crown with illegal power
267
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,639
Never killed my nephews
the Princes in the Tower
268
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Tudor propaganda, it's all absurd
269
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,280
Time to tell the truth about King Richard III
270
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,599
My brother Edward died
271
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,599
His kids too young to rule
272
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,519
So I took the throne
273
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,279
Why not? I'm nobody's fool
274
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,439
Thomas Moore wrote a history
said I murdered Edward's boys
275
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,799
Shakespeare said their death was an evil ploy
276
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,799
But I say those two are historical vandals
277
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,439
They've ruined my image I mean, what a scandal!
278
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,439
Never bumped off those harmless young heirs
279
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,239
Never buried them under
the Tower of London stairs
280
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,919
Never poisoned my wife bumped off her daddy
281
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,799
This is me, sweet Richard
Do I look like a baddie?
282
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,400
Never was two-faced sure you'll agree
283
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,840
I was misunderstood King Richard three
284
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,959
Can you imagine it I'm the last Plantagenet
285
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,159
Beaten by Henry in the Wars of the Roses
286
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,199
The Tudor dynasty didn't care that much for me
287
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,159
Now I'm painted as a baddie,
that's why one, supposes...
288
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,919
Never forget when you hear of my crimes
289
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,799
Never drowned my brother
in a massive vat of wine
290
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,839
Never said a horse, my kingdom for a horse
291
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,199
Who made that up? Why
William Shakespeare of course
292
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,919
Now my tale is told You won't hear a bad word
293
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,479
About a special ruler, King Richard III. #
294
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,639
I'm a nice guy.
295
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,679
WASP BUZZES
296
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,639
Oh, there's a wasp, there's a wasp!
297
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,520
There's a wasp! Oh, there's a wasp!
298
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,239
Poor old Richard III, he seems like a nice guy.
299
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,879
Unlike this Georgian villain,
300
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,320
who everybody thought was terribly glamorous.
I beg to differ!
301
00:15:40,381 --> 00:15:43,879
Everyone thinks they know the story
302
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,399
Of Dick Turpin's highway glory
303
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,999
But my past is far more gory I was no saint
304
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,119
You think life is one big
antic My profession is romantic
305
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,280
Hate to be pedantic, but it ain't
306
00:16:00,031 --> 00:16:02,119
Huh!
307
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,239
As a butcher down in
Essex I was handy with a knife
308
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,839
Had a sideline as a poacher
Led a less-than-honest life
309
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,239
The notorious gang of Gregory
liked my style and dedication
310
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,919
They signed me up and
gave me a real robber's education
311
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,079
We rampaged through the Essex
farms, stole and robbed and fought
312
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,519
But when the law came for
us I escaped and they got caught
313
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,679
I became a highwayman
314
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,279
- Was daylight robbery
- Huh!
315
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,919
I was no prince charming
316
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,319
- Nothing dandy about me
- Huh!
317
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,359
The truth is I was violent
and with my good mate Matt King
318
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,519
Robbed travellers at gunpoint
Money, watches, anything
319
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,879
My horse wasn't called Black
Bess although that's what you've read
320
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,799
Was no romantic hero
Shot not one but two men dead
321
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,719
The legend that surrounds
me misses out the crucial part
322
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,279
I was a ruthless killer
with a ruthless killer's heart
323
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:01,239
I was a vicious highwayman
A source of pain and tears
324
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,719
Huh!
325
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,199
When you hear how my story ends
326
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,759
- You won't believe your ears
- Huh!
327
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,879
I ran away to Yorkshire
changed my name to John Palmer
328
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,399
Was sent to prison after
stealing chickens from a farmer
329
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,599
Wrote a letter to my
family A plea it did relate
330
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,159
The postman saw the envelope
and here's the twist of fate
331
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,319
He had taught me how
to write so he knew I'd lied
332
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,999
That's not John Palmer's
hand That's Dick Turpin's, he cried
333
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,839
Was a vicious highwayman,
my crimes had brought me fame
334
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,359
- Huh!
- Was stitched up by a postie
335
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,519
That's not glamorous, that's lame
336
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,719
Huh!
337
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,759
No more stand and deliver
You'll remember this I hope
338
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,999
Huh!
339
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,399
It's no fun hanging with highwaymen
340
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,759
When you're hanging from a rope. #
341
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,759
Us DJ's sometimes do requests
and here's one right here.
342
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,719
It says, "Please shut up and play the next song."
343
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,800
Right then! I'll, er...
shut up and play the next song.
344
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,120
A little something from Victorian times.
345
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,160
In good old Queen Victoria's
day Industrial Revolution
346
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,919
Meant bosses said please we need more employees
347
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,079
We needed a solution
348
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,359
Who will climb our chimneys
Who will power our grids?
349
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,959
Victorian families so desperately poor
350
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,960
They'll let us employ their kids for...
351
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,279
- Work, terrible work
- From very young ages
352
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,399
- Up chimneys to clean
- Paid pitiful wages
353
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,039
- Work terrible work
- Pins make you work faster
354
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,920
- If we grow too big
- Get sacked by the master
355
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,079
Now you're all in my employ
356
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,759
Cleaning in the factory
357
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,559
- We're not very strong
- And the hours are long
358
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,159
This work is unsatisfactory!
359
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,359
Learn not to get caught in spokes
360
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,959
Or trap our hands in gauges
361
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,919
To stop machines and get you out
362
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,039
Will cost you one week's wages
363
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,839
THEY GASP
364
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,399
- Work terrible work
- There's no health or safety
365
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,439
- So if we get hurt
- They will just replace me
366
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,880
Work terrible work... #
367
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,370
Sorry!
368
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,760
SHE WHISTLES
369
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,599
Now that I am short
of cash I have to pick pockets
370
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,879
Wallets from gentlemen and ladies' lockets
371
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,359
Small enough to get away Hardly ever caught
372
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:12,279
And if we are, we're kids you
see To cry is what we're taught... #
373
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,519
Boo-hoo!
374
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,519
Work terrible work
375
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,879
Dangerous and demeaning
376
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,799
- No time to complain
- Get back to your cleaning
377
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,039
Work terrible work
378
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,199
Guess what we are dreaming?
379
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,519
School glorious school
380
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,119
Wonderful school Marvellous school
381
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:37,199
Wish we went to...
382
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,079
Scho-o-ol. #
383
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,279
And it wasn't just Victorian
children who got a raw deal,
384
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,039
so did women.
385
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,199
Because only men were allowed to vote
386
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,359
and towards the end of Victoria's reign,
387
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:55,559
some women started protesting
this was unfair, good day.
388
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,079
- We are the Suffragettes.
- Think you know some fierce girls?
389
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,679
You ain't heard nothing yet.
390
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,479
A lass called Millie
Fawcett founder of our cause
391
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,639
Started the battle for our rights
392
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,519
Argued the government to change the laws
393
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,679
Here is how she stated our plight
394
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,479
How come girls can't vote
for rules that we have to obey
395
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,719
When we work and pay taxes too
396
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,399
- Parliament's reaction was...
- Oh, do go away!
397
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,639
How dare they diss the Suffrage crew
398
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,279
Suffragettes sing We're going to do this thing
399
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,719
Peaceful protests started in 1903
400
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,359
Got no reaction Needed drastic action
401
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,960
- Got a new leader, Emmeline Pankhurst
- That's me!
402
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,959
Burst down to parliament
shouting votes for women
403
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,839
Actions that were shocking and new
404
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,639
Chain ourselves to Palace
gates Tension was brimming
405
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,119
On the WSPU
406
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,919
Burned down churches,
smashed up shops, attacked MPs
407
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,599
The result, we were thrown in jail
408
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,039
This made us more determined
as you'll come to see
409
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,359
Think we'd give up fighting? Hey, fail!
410
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:17,879
Suffragettes sing Together we can win
411
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,439
In prison we protested
and went on hunger strike
412
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,719
Men still said no But we just said yo!
413
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,519
You won't stop us now... #
414
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,599
Miss Davison, please take the mic
415
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,239
We became more extreme
416
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,399
Derby Day, June 13
417
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,559
In front of King and Queen
committed sacrifice supreme
418
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,959
Crept unseen between the
teeming crowds watching the race
419
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,199
And threw myself under
a horse to try and make our case
420
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,079
Became a famous martyr How did men react...? #
421
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,599
We can't give women votes if
they're so stupid, they'll do that!
422
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,919
Seemed our cause was
lost when World War came along
423
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,159
Our Suffragette reaction
424
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,399
Was to wave our protest
goodbye Farewell, so long
425
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,359
To patriotic action
426
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:06,879
Put down our banners
saying give us votes, instead
427
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,519
Supported the men's fight
428
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,039
We worked to help them win the
war, so guess what they said...? #
429
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,239
OK, ladies, you were right.
430
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,639
Suffragettes sing, We've done it, ding ding
431
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,599
At last those men can
see they should treat us the same
432
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,839
So all take note Now women can vote
433
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,679
And it's thanks to those who fought
434
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,280
In the Suffragette name. #
435
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,439
That's all from me, the MC.
436
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,479
My work here is done, been fun,
437
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,919
One last rhyme, see you next time.
438
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,399
The rat rules. And so, my
friends, did this little lot.
439
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,760
Go on! I challenge you
to learn the chorus. Ha-ha!
440
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,919
I'm William the Conqueror
My enemies stood no chance
441
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,279
They call me the first English
King although I come from France
442
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,759
1066, the Domesday Book, I gave to history
443
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,279
So fat on death my body
burst but enough about me
444
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,399
To help remember all your
Kings I've come up with this song
445
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,239
A simple rhyming ditty
for you all to sing alo-o-ong
446
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,399
Oh!
447
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,399
William...
448
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,079
Bit short, innit? We need more kings.
Who came next?
449
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,879
William II, cheeks were
red Killed out hunting so it's said
450
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,199
- I took over, Henry I
- That's my next eldest son
451
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,239
Then King Stephen It's true, check it
452
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,839
I, Henry II killed Thomas Beckett
453
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,479
Richard Lionheart, that's
right Always spoiling for a fight
454
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,079
Oh, King John, what a disaster
Rule restrained by Magna Carta
455
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,999
William, William, Henry,
Stephen Henry, Richard, John, oi!
456
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,199
Time for my mate, King
Henry eight to take up this song
457
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,359
Henry III built the RB Ed I hated Scots
458
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:55,999
A red hot poker killed Ed
II That must have hurt him lots
459
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,199
Edward III was a chivalry
nerd Began the Hundred Years' War
460
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,759
Then Richard II was king
aged ten Then Henry, yes, one more
461
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,799
King Henry IV, plots galore
Not least from Henry V, why?
462
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,519
- Killed ten score at Agincourt Then Henry VI arrived
- Waah!
463
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,879
Edward IV, Edward V Richard III, he's bad
464
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,839
Cos he fought wars with
Henry VII First Tudor and my dad
465
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,399
So Henry VIII, I was great
Six wives, two were beheaded
466
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,799
Edward VI came next but
he died young and so my dreaded
467
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,639
- Daughter Mary, ruled so scary then along came...
- Me!
468
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:34,519
I'm Liz the first, I had no kids so Tudors RIP
469
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,119
William, William, Henry,

- Mary I, good Queen Bess
- That's me, time for more men
473
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,159
James VI of Scotland
next as English James I he led
474
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,279
Then Stuarts ruled, so Charles
I The one who lost his head
475
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,639
No monarchy until came
me Charles II, I liked to party
476
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,199
King Jimmy II was scary,
ooh! Then Mary was a smarty
477
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,519
She ruled with Bill, their shoes
were filled by sourpuss Anne Gloria
478
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,359
And so from then you were ruled by men
479
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:12,079
Till along came me, Victoria-a-a
480
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,799
William, William, Henry,

Still to come it's Queen Victoria
486
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,919
- And so began the Hanover gang George I and George II
- Grim!
487
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,879
- George III was quite absurd
- Till I replaced old him
488
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,279
- King George IV known henceforth As angry, fat and cross
- Hang on!
489
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,559
- It's true you beat Napoleon but were mostly a dead loss
- Bang on!
490
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,559
- Old William IV was a sailor
- Ahoy! - It's nearly the end of the story-a
491
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,479
On to the scene comes the best loved Queen
