Biography:
Horrible Histories first began as a book series, written by Terry Deary. Then, in 2009, it was decided that it was to be made a children's comedy, historical sketch show. In 2011, the show had become very successful and has won many awards, such as Best Sketch Show at the BAFTAs. Series 4 began in April 2012, and the writers have already started writing series 5. The stars of the show feature Mathew Baynton (Gavin & Stacey), Ben Willbond, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, as well as many others.
