A new series for the superb historical show, which romped off with the best sketch show prize at this year's British Comedy Awards. It's an educational Blackadder for kids, and wonderfully written for a grown-up show, never mind juveniles. It has also spawned a spin-off quiz show, Gory Games, presented by Dave Lamb and a puppet rat. He even keeps score with an abacus. No bleepy, flashy nonsense here. Just historical questions and Crystal Maze-style games. It would have enthralled 20 years ago and is all the better for it. Hooray.
