Horrible Histories!

Horrible Histories presents It's a
Wicked World!

Welcome viewers to a whirlwind trip
through the historical world.

Yes, I've got the travel bug.

to go with all my other bugs.

I fancy following in the footsteps of
some of the greatest leaders the world

ever seen. So I've packed up my stuff
and booked a round -the -world rat

ticket. Rat -earned ticket!

Now, I just need to work out where to go
first.

How about France?

French Emperor Napoleon, he certainly
liked to visit different countries.

All right.

conquered different countries. He wanted
to take over the whole of Europe, and

even though he was defeated in 1814 and
imprisoned, he didn't give up. No, just

one year later, he escaped, raised an
army, and set out to face British leader

Wellington at the famous Battle of
Waterloo. Take it away, M .C. Napoleon.

Prince of Andorra. You guessed it. It's
me, Napoleon.

Hello, Paris. I burst through the door.
Now, everybody lift your jaws off the

floor. You act like you've never seen
your emperor before. It's Napoleon, and

I'm back for war. I've just escaped from
exile on Elba. Where they call me is

the cage monster.

They say I'm short, and I've got little
hands, but check out my massive battle

plan. Yes, we've got to go to war one
more time against two everybody, but

worry, we'll be fine. This fighting to
get back was rightfully mine, which is

everything I conquered the first time.
King Louis, whatever.

He ain't got nothing on me.

The greatest Frenchman ever.

Come to war with me.

French people my subject.

I brought you success.

Women used to make me nervous. But in
battle, I'm the best.

I didn't come to party.

I came to get nasty.

Just stop you in at Waterloo, then I'll
get back to ruining you.

You see, I'm cocky. Maybe I am. It's not
my fault. It's my pituitary gland. Or

maybe my ego, but I tell you what is
true. I'm a military genius and my army

loves me too. I can fairly ride a horse,
but not for want of trying. I'd say

it's not my sore bum, but they would be
lying. So it's the British and the

Dutch. Oh, and the Russian army, but
that's okay.

The Russian leaders bar me. I'm pregnant
with an elephant. Do you know what I

mean? But I really need to win before
it's bigger than the team. Can't pray

rain to stop. Don't believe in God. If
it carries on much longer, we'll be

in the mud. I got a hundred days, and
I'm back up in this.

We're outnumbered, yes, but we can win
this.

Sure, I'm a little fat.

And it hurts when I pee.

But don't worry about that.

I'll lead you to victory, baby.

I leave the fridge on me. I wasn't
really that tiny.

Look out, world. Wait and see. You're
about to see the best of me.

Just got to beat Wellington, which
almost nobody has done.

And I'll go down in history, cos what to
lose my death?

Hello!

I've just arrived in the Holy Land
during the Middle Ages.

At least Napoleon isn't here with his
armies.

Or his feeties.

Don't think I'll get much peace and
quiet, though.

The Crusades are in full swing, with
Europe trying to reconquer the Holy

which has been lost to Muslim forces.

But the Crusaders have more than met
their match. Now they've come up against

the Muslim leader, Saladin. When it
comes to fighting in the desert, no one

smarter. This guy is Saladin Credible.

The Crusaders are headed for Jerusalem,
but we can deal with them here by the

horns of Hattin.

Kill them! Kill them all!

Patience, my friends. We must be
cleverer than that.

We can attack them in a different way.
We're in a desert. So ask yourself, what

do they need? A good kicking.

No, no, no. A sword through their skull.

Kill them all. No, no, no.

Think about it. Think about it. What
must they do every day in the desert?

No, no, no, not that. Put it this way.
What must we all do? What must we all do

every day to survive?

Go toilet?

Other end. Other end. Brush their teeth.

What is this? What is this?

Water!

Water! Water!

I totally drink water every day. So,
what must we do?

Kill him!

Kill him! No, no, no. Go back.

To the water. Think water.

Drown them. Drown them all.

How am I supposed to drown them? In the
paddling pool I keep on my camel?

You can drown in as little as one inch
of water. Oh, thanks for that. That's

really helpful.

What happens in a desert if you don't
drink your water?

They have nothing to wash their salad
in.

Saladin. It's called salad in.

What happens in a desert if you do not
drink the water?

They get thirsty.

And what happens if you still don't
drink the water?

You get the bad skin.

No choppy lips. No pat -pat stage, okay?
What happens next?

You die.

Yeah! Boom! One point to idiot number
two. Well done.

Where do they need to go to get their
water?

Begins with a W, ends in an L.

Wall.

Rhymes with bell.

Cello.

Well.

Yeah!

So we go to the well. We block their
access. They cannot drink any water.

get weaker and weaker until they can
barely stand.

They're about to die.

And then we can finally... Kill them
all! Kill them all!

Through the well!

Wait, wait, wait.

Can we just run through it one more
time?

We go to the well.

The well is this way.

We travelers in the Middle Ages are
living in dangerous times.

Not only do we have to avoid being
killed in battle, we also have to watch

for nasty illnesses, too.

Disease and sickness are everywhere
here, and even King John's brother

a nasty bug when he arrived to fight
Saladin.

Here's Johnny to tell us more.

What you might not know is that my
brother, King Richard the Lionheart,

on crusade as soon as he was made king.

But he caught a horrid disease when he
arrived in the Holy Land. Did it? A.

Make his poo green, his eyes red and his
face blue.

B. Make his skin blotchy and his hair
and fingernails fall out.

Or C.

Make his ears drop off.

The answer is B. Both he and the King of
France caught a disease called Arnalia.

That made their skin all blotchy and
their hair and nails drop off.

What's more, their enemy, Paladin, had
painful boils all over his legs and bum

so he couldn't sit down.

See why I chose to stay at home, don't
you?

I've come for you.

Oh, that's revolting!

But if you think travelling in the Holy
Land was dangerous, you'd better think

twice about visiting East Asia too.

During the reign of King John in
England, it was a pretty scary place.

A fierce warrior called Genghis Khan was
terrorising people from Mongolia to

China. You have been warned.

Hello, I'm Geoff Reason and welcome to
Battle of the Day, coming live from 13th

century Mongolia as we focus on the
scourge of the world. No, not the

King John in England.

but the strong wolf himself, Genghis
Khan.

With me, providing expert analysis and
plenty of gory details, is Jamie Cuttle.

Jamie, Genghis has a pretty terrible
reputation, but come on, is he really

ruthless? During his life, Genghis Khan
turned most of Asia into a bloodbath.

What kind of soap would you use in a
bloodbath? It's not a real bath, Geoff.

And even if it was, Genghis has made
washing punishable by death.

Hold your noses. We're about to hear
from the mighty Mongol himself.

Genghis, we're off to do battle with the
Chinese today. What do you say to

accusations that you fight dirty?

It's true.

I do.

There is no honour in war.

Only victory or defeat.

I'm not sure that I agree with you
there.

Then I'll kill you!

Thanks,

lads. See you later.

We're about to go to Chris Day Karma at
the bridge.

Of human bodies, Chris.

Genghis arrives, sees the moat around
the enemy's fortress and orders all his

prisoners to rush into the water until
their bodies pile up like a bridge.

A human bridge.

Allowing his army to march right across.

I've never seen anything like it, Jeff.

Ugly, but weirdly effective.

Good luck, you, Chris.

Oh, you're really mature!

Oh, yeah, I'm in the Mongol horde. Look
at me, bullying everyone.

And here's a victorious man who couldn't
agree with you more.

Genghis, you've conquered anyone and
everyone you could find. One of the most

brutal warriors in history.

It's quite a legacy.

Hang on.

How about my religious tolerance?

Or the fact that I outlawed kidnapping
women, stealing animals and enslaving

other Mongols, and all you want to do is
talk about wars and killing?

But you have killed quite a lot of
people.

Fair point.

40 million years, plenty.

40 million?

In the 13th century, that's nearly 11 %
of the world's entire population.

Great for the environment, though,
Geoff. Dead people don't produce CO2,

or chopped down trees.

He really deserves to be remembered as
one of the most environmentally friendly

rulers of all time.

Methane.

It's true, Genghis Khan was a ruthless
warrior and leader who also had strict

rules about how his people should live
day to day. Do you know, he'd even have

you executed if you washed your body or
your clothes.

Now that really stinks.

Although, that's no problem for me. I'd
fit right in.

Medieval Mongolians wouldn't change
their clothes until they literally...

fell apart.

But then again, wherever you go in the
world, people have always had their own

ideas about what to wear, what not to
wear, how to file your teeth so they're

pointy. What?

It's time for a historical catwalk.

Hi, and welcome to the final of
historical catwalk.

Yeah, we've been all over the world
looking for the 12th century's most

fashionable woman.

We are down to our final fabulous four.

Are you excited, Heidi?

Maybe. I can't remember what real
emotions feel like.

First on the runway is Chichua, a
beautiful Mayan contestant from South

Wow, I don't know what's pointing at her
head. Your story inspires me.

Heidi, you're too good. It really
touches me.

Next up, it's the fabulous, the fierce,
Bort from Mongolia.

She's got a powerful spirit and an even
more powerful stench.

And like all medieval Mongols, you
believe that you should never wash

or your clothes.

I will remember you forever because I
don't think the smell is ever going to

leave me.

Our final contestant is Wei from China.

Wei, I love your heart and your spirit.

But deeper than that...

I love your bound feet and your shoes.

They lift you up above the other
competitors and the layer of animal poo

covers the streets of your home city
Hang Chow.

You are so great, Bob.

So out of this competition, the winner
of this century's historical catwalk

is... It's Fort!

Fort, you are... truly a great example
of Mongol women, which means you'll be

kidnapped by a rival tribe.

I really need to watch.

Who knew fashion was so dangerous?

I think I'm more of a thinker than a
fighter.

Let's hope it's safer for me here in the
home of the great Chinese philosopher

Confucius. He was a great thinker and
teacher who lived two and a half

years ago, and his ideas and wise
sayings are still popular today.

I've got a wise saying of my own. A rat
with no fur will never catch fleas, but

a rat with no tail is probably just a
guinea pig.

He's the man who's cracking one line as
they're still pulling in the crowd 400

years after he died.

Confucius! What you do not want done to
yourself.

Do not do to others.

Cautious people rarely make mistakes.

Real knowledge is knowing how little you
know.

It's the Confucius stand -up DVD.

Those lines are hundreds of years old,
but they're still so relevant even

They are classic. They're absolutely
classic.

Yeah, my favourite one was, never eat
yellow snow.

He didn't say that.

No, he didn't say that. He didn't say
that.

He definitely didn't say that. He did
not say that line.

He's the philosopher who said so many
brilliant things that whenever anything

brilliant is said now, people think he
came up with it.

Confucius said that he who goes to bed
with an itchy bottom will wake up with a

smelly finger.

That definitely wasn't him. That is well
gross. That is well gross.

Confucius said stuff like, when a
country is run well, poverty is a thing

ashamed of.

When a country is run badly, riches are
a thing to be ashamed of.

You might have funnier.

Confucius, the greatest one -liner in
history.

Confucius said, when many birds flock
together, wear a hat.

No, he didn't.

He might have done. He didn't say that.
He might have done. He didn't say that.

He didn't say that. In the middle of a
sentence, he might have done it. He

didn't say that.

He didn't say that.

You weren't there? He didn't say that.
You don't know him? He didn't. Buy the

DVD of all Confucius's businesses dying,
and you'll get the DVDs of all the

things he's supposed to have said, but
didn't. Absolutely free.

The superior man understands what is
right.

The inferior man understands what will
sell.

And this will sell.

Hang on, does that make me inferior?

I don't care.

The best thing about my round -the
-world trip is all the amazing food.

on trash, snacking in the sewers, and
binging on a battlefield buffet.

Mmm, horse hoof.

Delicious.

What? Come on. You humans have some
strange eating habits of your own. I

look, I'm still in China, but now I'm in
the Tang Dynasty over 1 ,000 years ago.

They eat anything and everything here.
Well, nearly everything.

Oh, yes, it's I'm a Tang celebrity, live
from 8th century China.

Joining us for the bush tucker trial,
it's Tang -tastic ruler, Empress Wu Yat

-yen. Wai -ai, Wu.

Wai -ai. So, Wu, you could say you're a
powerful Wu -man.

Ha -ha!

Nice. Now, you've had to murder lots of
people to get to the top, but can you

cope with... ..hornet larvae?

Oh, basically maggots.

Aye!

Oh, she's eating it.

In that case, how about cockroach? Oh,
lovely.

Oh, disgusting.

Boiled camel hum. Oh, to die for.

Oh, God.

Bamboo rat yuck.

Tail's the best bit for me.

Not the tail.

Jellyfish.

A juicy bit.

It's making me feel... Steamed bear.

You do know in Tang China these are
things we normally eat.

Stop, stop, stop. You've passed the bush
doctor trial.

Disgusting. Here's your prize.

Tampons of sirloin steak to share with
your royal court. Well done.

What? Beef?

I can't eat that.

Oxen are used by Tang...

Now, I wasn't going to hang around and
wait for Empress Wu to snap on me next,

so I've left China and arrived in exotic
India.

I've dug out all my phrasebooks, and
look, I can speak French.

Je m 'appelle Radu, which means...

My name is Rattus, and I can also speak
Italian.

Ciao, bella Rattali. Which translates
as, hello, lovely Rattali. And, hmm,

seem to find India.

I wonder if I know any Indian words
already.

Words we get from India.

Guru.

Avatar.

Kala Baloo.

Yoga.

Tulali.

What a hullabaloo indeed.

Now, if you're going to travel through
history visiting far -flung places...

must expect to find yourself in one or
two dangerous situations.

Travellers, beware, especially on the
high seas, and none more so than during

the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when a
great naval battle took place near

Greece, which would determine the future
of Europe. But although it was very

serious, it was also very, very silly.

Hey, you! Yeah, you!

Quit picking your nose like a yoghurt
and listen up! Yeah, I'm Mr H!

And I've been working hard, searching
through history to find the craziest

that ever lived. These people are bad
for your health, Rob.

If you don't pay attention, so am I. For
real, fam.

Get it? Chill.

Leave it! The naval battle of Lepanto,
1571, yeah? The mighty Ottomans were up

against the Spanish, Italian and
Maltese.

fighting for the future of Europe, like
in the football.

The Ottoman captain can see that the
enemy are too far away to fire at. So

what's he going to do? Wait patiently
and conserve energy for the battle

Come on, everyone!

Dance, dance, dance!

No! He's going to try and start a dance
-off! What?

Dance!

You'd better get the right tune,
otherwise it is going to be whack!

Now, if this guy has anything to say...
He would ignore that crazy Ottoman

behavior. You can't touch this.

But he doesn't!

Oh, man,

quit already. You're already making me
seasick.

Now that the battle is on, you think
things are going to get serious, right?

Wrong!

Nothing's done, lads!

This guy has just had his hand blown
off, and it takes like a hundred years

something to grow it back.

He needs to stop the bleeding.

That is a pretty sensible idea.

But that definitely isn't a chicken band
-aid. Hey, chickens are for burgers.

What are you thinking, finger -licking
fool?

Yeah, there's no more cannonballs.

What? What? Here come the Spanish.

The Ottomans are out of ammo. Oh, my
days.

Think it's all over? Think again.

Who needs cannonballs when we've got
fresh fruit?

All right.

Remember,

as long as we keep making history,
history will keep making crazy fools.

Best advice I can give to you is to keep
out of their way.

Until next time, stay away from stupid y
'all.

Have you cut?

Right, someone's taken my yoga mat.

Well, I'm here in Greece, but honestly,
right now, I'd like a ship home.

All this travelling is exhausting.

I miss all the lovely things about the
UK.

My lovely rattly, the lovely sewers, the
lovely smells, and all that lovely poo.

Wipe your bum, sir. What? Wipe your bum,
sir.

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Oh, come, sir, this is the Middle Ages.

A fine gentleman like yourself can't be
seen to wipe his own bum now, can he?

It's all here in the Book of Civilised
Man by esteemed poet Daniel of Beckham.

If you wish to belch, always look up at
the ceiling.

OK, I'm going.

Oh, wait, you can stick that hay where
the sun don't shine.

That's what I was going to... do, sir?
Please!

All right.

I don't want your money.

No, I want your poo.

What? It's been such a cold winter,
we've been burning poo to keep warm.

Ready when you are, sir.

Just one log for the...

Disgusting! Yeah, I love it!

Ah, it's good to be back home. I've
missed all of this. And I'm not the only

who likes their home comforts, yeah?
Take Queen Victoria.

As well as Great Britain and Ireland,
she reigned over the whole British

In fact, she ruled over more countries
than anyone in history.

But funnily enough, she didn't like
travelling.

When Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli
decided to make her... Empress of India

1876, you'd think she'd go and visit the
place, right?

Right? Wrong.

I thought it is really your PM in
charge. Suppose if I had to, I could tie

to the Raj. The plan, your highness,
prevents you from Savingia. I hereby

you Empress of India.

India is all very well, but there's no
place like home. I'd prefer us know its

smell. Don't you love Bombay spices and
the jewels of Hyderabad?

They are shipped to England.

Go fetch them, I'd be mad.

That Indian famine's no fun for a
newcomer. Prefer the Isle of Wight for

Indian summer.

Oh, that is very nice. We'd better have
no quarrel. Frankly, Benji, bread's

buttered better in Balmoral.

Air, bread of India.

Title sounds good.

I've displayed tunes beyond compare.
When the viceroy announced we'd come

in the air. The rajahs jumped in, the
elephants are scared. I'm here to kill

natives, this is unfair.

But the party didn't stop for a bit of
blood and gore. Thousands of beaders

speak to it or more. The biggest ballet
party you ever did see.

I quite agree, Miss Vicky. I'm staying
home too.

Right, so this is what I've learned
about the world from my historical

It may be full of beautiful and exotic
places, but it was also full of

tyrannical rulers, war, explosions,
massacres, more explosions, armies led

maniacs, even more explosions. But on
the other hand, if we didn't go

travelling, there'd be no souvenirs.

And if we didn't have souvenirs, then
I'd never have met my new friend,

Goodbye.

All right, you can stop waving now.

No, really, you can stop waving.

No, really, stop waving. It's really
annoying.

Seriously, stop waving!

Tall tales, atrocious act. We gave you
all the fearsome facts. The ugly truth,

no glad or glint. We showed you all a
juicy bit.

Gory, godly, mean and cruel.

Stuff they don't teach you at school.
The past is no longer a mystery.

Hope you enjoy Horrible History.
