  • Most of these I don't know, I love Horrible Histories though, and am pretty sure Vicious Vikings (book) helped me pass an exam at Uni Laughing

    I actually wasn't that into tv as a kid, I liked Come Outside, about a lady with a dog who went on adventures in a plane? (I think!) and Arthur, who was a cartoon animal -a mouse? - and his friends. 

    I discovered Roobarb when it was rebooted, and loved it! I've seen the original 1970s episodes too.
