Never actually encountered it before, but given that it's a CBBC program, that's not surprising as I am almost never watching TV (let alone Auntie) that early in the afternoon. Usually I find out interesting kids shows from people that actually have kids, and for some reason most of the current crop of kids are either too old to be called kids any more or too young to comprehend anything beyond the teletubbies. Actually, I doubt they comprehend the teletubbies either.
hans loved the horrible history books. more than the tv show.
parents are the one's who know :D i'm out of the loop these days.
marketers have been allowed to control the 'definition' agenda, and thus create a self-fulfilling agenda. a few sociologists and others object, but they/we're all just academics or work for microsoft/ibm ... so we don't really count.
I much preferred the SBS history quizz ADbc (two teams, each composed of an academic/historian and a comedian) go head to head facing puzzles concerning some of the more interesting bits of history. It even included a period food segment, with bonus points given for actually eating the food.
