Hello!
There’s lots of news on the Horrible Histories front this week so I thought I’d do a detailed post about it all, so here we go.
Nomination
This week Horrible Histories has been nominated for two awards under Children’s categories.
Rose d’Or
The Rose d’Or Awards, the core of the Festival, have been rewarding originality, quality and creativity in entertainment programming, and encouraging excellence in television and associated digital media since 1961.
Horrible Histories is up against ‘How To Survive…’ (Lemming Film for AVRO,
Netherlands) and ‘The Gruffalo’s Child’ (Magic Light Pictures for BBC,
United Kingdom)
Royal Television Awards
Chaired by David Liddiment, the Awards honour excellence in key genres of television programming, from children’s fiction to comedy performance, history to soaps, covering both national and regional output. Held annually, the RTS Programme Awards aim to recognise the work of exceptional actors, presenters, writers and production teams, as well as celebrating the programmes themselves.
The Awards will be hosted by actor and comedian, Rob Brydon, at a ceremony on Tuesday 20 March at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.And if anyone is thinking of attending, let us know.

Hello there!
Just a little note to let you know that we will be attending the Horrible Histories Series 4 Screening at BFI Southbank on March 18th.
So expect some photos (not from the screening, from the fun day) and a detailed write-up, but obviously, no spoilers! We wouldn’t want to ruin it for you!
Two of our “HHistorians” team are attending and we will be tweeting from our twitter account @HHistorians.
With love,

Because I’m extra lovely, I’ve recorded the Horrible Histories Internet Safety videos for those who live out of the UK that can’t see them.
They may be a little laggy/jumpy, this computer is really silly and can’t cope with the beautiful faces that belong to the cast.
