Re: Does anyone else find 'Horrible Histories' helpful for revision?For dates I suppose they're all right, but using them as help for GCSE or anything more academically challenging than that is madness...they're notorious for their factual inaccuracies.

Re: Does anyone else find 'Horrible Histories' helpful for revision?God no. I looooved the books as a child, in fact they're pretty much what got me into History but the TV series is the most overrated thing that's been on TV in recent years.
