0:01:29 > 0:01:32# I've packed my sword and shield We don't use paper and pen
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- # Everyone's a jock here - We don't have fun, nerds
0:01:35 > 0:01:38# But weedy kids were left to die As breakfast for the birds
0:01:38 > 0:01:41# We're taught to love a fight we're taught not to be meek
0:01:41 > 0:01:44# And if we're good they feed us three square meals every week
0:01:44 > 0:01:46# Let's go fighting Fighting is exciting
0:01:46 > 0:01:49# Rocking at the Spartan school... #

0:02:03 > 0:02:05# Caught, I'll have to punish you Ungrateful Spartan brood
0:02:05 > 0:02:08# We promise not to steal We're not the thieving sort
0:02:08 > 0:02:11# Stealing is considered good What's wrong is getting caught
0:02:11 > 0:02:13# Let's get beating And learn lots of cheating
0:02:13 > 0:02:16# Rolling at the Spartan school

0:02:41 > 0:02:43# Wondering about love?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45# It's banned until you're 30
0:02:45 > 0:02:48# High school doesn't teach romance It teaches fighting dirty

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Ooh, uh, sorry if you didn't get any nibbles.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04They seem to have all disappeared.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I don't know where they could have gone.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- HE BELCHES - Yes, the Spartans were indeed fearsome warriors,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12and so were the Celts.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20# Gonna cause a stink Won't be the first to blink
0:03:20 > 0:03:23# I'm not who you think Don't mess with me, I'm Boudica

0:03:42 > 0:03:45# Hey, mister! I say you got The wrong end of the stick

0:04:55 > 0:04:58# Be sold as a slave to Romans? You know I'd rather die
0:04:58 > 0:05:02# They tried to take me prisoner So I led the Roman boys on
0:05:02 > 0:05:06# Instead of giving in to them I swallowed special poison

0:08:09 > 0:08:13It's true, the Vikings did used to drink out of the skulls of their enemies,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15but they weren't the only ones to do it.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19So did some people called Incas, over in South America,
0:08:19 > 0:08:24in around 1450 AD, when this bloke was in charge.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35# I'm Pachakuti, the Incan Lord All other tribes dread it
0:08:35 > 0:08:41# My name means he who shapes The earth, not that I'm big-headed
0:08:41 > 0:08:48# When it comes to claiming nearby Lands, I was the type to risk it
0:08:48 > 0:08:55# But it's how I treat dead enemies That really took the biscuit
0:08:56 > 0:08:58# Do the Pachakuti
0:08:59 > 0:09:01# Do the Pachakuti
0:09:03 > 0:09:04# Do the Pachakuti
0:09:06 > 0:09:07# Pachakuti!
0:09:13 > 0:09:19# Once on a hillside, my troops hid To cause a rifle strife,
0:09:19 > 0:09:25# And when they jumped out it looked Like the ground had come to life... #
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Boo!
0:09:26 > 0:09:31# The rocks they are my warriors I then used to boast
0:09:31 > 0:09:38# And that little lie helped us with wars, but violence helped the most
0:09:40 > 0:09:41# Do the Pachakuti
0:09:43 > 0:09:45# Do the Pachakuti
0:09:46 > 0:09:48# Do the Pachakuti
0:09:49 > 0:09:51# Pachakuti! #
0:09:51 > 0:09:56# If you were a rival chief We'd kill you first and then
0:09:56 > 0:10:03# We'd stuff you like a scarecrow But one for scaring men
0:10:03 > 0:10:08# Then we'd rest your bony fingers on The stretched skin of your belly
0:10:09 > 0:10:13# And in the breeze They'd tap that tum like a drummer
0:10:13 > 0:10:14# But more smelly
0:10:17 > 0:10:19# Do the Pachakuti
0:10:20 > 0:10:21# Do the Pachakuti

0:10:32 > 0:10:34I love a good party, me.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Eh, and no-one loved a good party more than the Stuart king
0:10:37 > 0:10:40who came to power in 1661.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44# My name is, my name is, my name is...
0:10:44 > 0:10:45# Charles II
0:10:45 > 0:10:47# I love the people And the people love me
0:10:47 > 0:10:50# So much that they restored The English monarchy
0:10:50 > 0:10:53# I'm part Scottish, French, Italian, a little bit Dane,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56# But 100% party animal - champagne?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58# Spaniels, I adored Named after me, too
0:10:58 > 0:11:01# Like me they were fun With a nutty hairdo
0:11:01 > 0:11:04# Is today my birthday? I can't recall, let's have a party anyway
0:11:04 > 0:11:06# Because I love a masked ball
0:11:06 > 0:11:07# All hail
0:11:07 > 0:11:14# The king of bling, let's sing, Bells ring, ding, ding
0:11:14 > 0:11:16# I'm the King who Brought back partying
0:11:16 > 0:11:19# King Charles, my daddy, lost His throne and kings were banned
0:11:19 > 0:11:22# They chopped off his head, then Ollie Cromwell ruled the land
0:11:22 > 0:11:23# Old Ollie wasn't jolly
0:11:23 > 0:11:26# He was glum and he was proud We'd be miserable as sin
0:11:26 > 0:11:27# Only sinning's not allowed
0:11:27 > 0:11:31# When Ollie died, the people said, "Charlie me hearty, get rid of His dull laws, come back -
0:11:31 > 0:11:32# "We'd rather party"
0:11:32 > 0:11:35# This action's what they called The monarchy restoration
0:11:35 > 0:11:37# Which naturally was followed By a huge celebration
0:11:37 > 0:11:42# The King of England said, "No sin to sing"
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- # OK!- Or anything
0:11:44 > 0:11:48# All say I'm the king Who brought back partying
0:11:48 > 0:11:51# Great London Fire was a whopper in My reign, London City came a cropper
0:11:51 > 0:11:56# So this King did What was right and proper, for The fire proved a more than a bovver
0:11:56 > 0:11:57# I'm a firestopper
0:11:58 > 0:12:01# Married Catherine Braganza She was a love so true
0:12:01 > 0:12:03# There would never be another - Well, maybe one or two
0:12:03 > 0:12:06# Lucy Walter, Nell Gwynne Moll Davis, Barbara Villiers
0:12:06 > 0:12:09# You think that's bad, But her name's not as silly as...
0:12:09 > 0:12:11# Hortense Mancini
0:12:11 > 0:12:14# As king, I must admit I broke the wedding rules
0:12:14 > 0:12:16# But who cares when I brought back The crown jewels?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19# I reinstated Christmas, Make-up, sport and even plays
0:12:19 > 0:12:22# I was the merry monarch, They were good old days
0:12:22 > 0:12:27# When said and done, King Charles Did run England for fun
0:12:27 > 0:12:32# I was the King loved by everyone My song is done. #
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Party anyone?
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Aah. I was parched.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Anyone else fancy a drink? Mmm.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42It's squash. Squashed beetle squash.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Now, here's another famous man from the end of the Stuart era.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49But he's one you really wouldn't want to meet.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57# When I was a nipper,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01# I boarded a clipper, sailed The Seas as a goods importer, ooh.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05# Edward Teach is my name But I earnt my fame as Blackbeard,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07# The Pirate of the Water
0:13:07 > 0:13:10# Oh, what a jolly chap With a jaunty cap
0:13:10 > 0:13:13# Always gave my crew good quarter
0:13:13 > 0:13:15# Oh! But I'm best known for Blood and guts and gore
0:13:15 > 0:13:19# And a vicious reign of murdering And slaughter, oh!
0:13:19 > 0:13:21# Best known for blood And guts and gore
0:13:21 > 0:13:25# And a vicious reign of Murdering and slaughter, oh!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28# Left my home in Bristol With a sword and pistol
0:13:28 > 0:13:31# Bid a fond farewell To old Blighty, oh!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34# What my enemies feared Was my thick black beard
0:13:34 > 0:13:36# Which I always enjoyed Setting light to
0:13:36 > 0:13:38# Oh, once I had a thing
0:13:38 > 0:13:42# For a captive's lovely ring, that Shone like a jewel in the nighty
0:13:42 > 0:13:45# Oh! When the man said no I just said, "oh",
0:13:45 > 0:13:48# And chopped off his hand And said, "righty-oh"
0:13:48 > 0:13:54# Man said no, he said oh, chopped Off his hand and said, "righty-oh"
0:13:57 > 0:14:02# Oh, I love to sail the ocean with My flag that inspired emotion
0:14:02 > 0:14:06# With its smiling pile Of skull and bones
0:14:06 > 0:14:09# Smashing hearts with A violent stabbing motion
0:14:09 > 0:14:14# And I loved to escape detection And to win my crew's affection
0:14:14 > 0:14:19# Which was nothing to do with The 12 guns he wore on his belt
0:14:19 > 0:14:21# That were for protection
0:14:21 > 0:14:24# I was awfully nice # But I had the odd vice
0:14:24 > 0:14:27# Which occasionally caused A commotion
0:14:27 > 0:14:30# The thing that I do Was shoot members of my crew
0:14:30 > 0:14:33# If they didn't Show enough devotion
0:14:33 > 0:14:36# The thing he'd do Was shoot members of the crew
0:14:36 > 0:14:39# If they didn't show Enough devotion
0:14:39 > 0:14:42# Once when very irate I shot my first mate
0:14:42 > 0:14:45# Israel Hands, for a bit of pleasure Oh!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48# And when my debts grew Killed half of my crew
0:14:48 > 0:14:50# To increase my share Of the treasure, oh!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53# Was doing well Then seemed to run out of men
0:14:53 > 0:14:57# My captors boarded At their leisure, oh!
0:14:57 > 0:14:59# Smote me dead Then cut off my head
0:14:59 > 0:15:02# And displayed it on my mast For good measure, oh!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04# Smote him dead
0:15:04 > 0:15:08# Chopped off his head, displayed it On the mast for good measure
0:15:08 > 0:15:09# Oh! #
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Blackbeard really was a bad-tempered sort.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18But then so was our last Georgian king, about a century later.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23I don't think he liked waiting nearly 60 years to take the throne.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34# I'm George IV, the Regent King Which means I was just standing in
0:15:34 > 0:15:40# Acting King because my dad George III, had gone barking mad... #
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Banana!
0:15:41 > 0:15:47# Great palaces I did design Buckingham was one of mine
0:15:47 > 0:15:50# Art and fashion I so rated... #
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- And wives? - # That's more complicated
0:15:54 > 0:16:00# Actresses and Duchesses The great loves of my life
0:16:00 > 0:16:06# I loved more girls than I ate pies But I couldn't stand my wife
0:16:06 > 0:16:08# He couldn't stand his wife... #
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Go away!
0:16:10 > 0:16:16# I only married Queen Caroline When my debts began to climb
0:16:16 > 0:16:19# Cos if I agreed to tie the knot
0:16:19 > 0:16:23# I said I'd pay off the lot
0:16:23 > 0:16:26# But the wedding caused All sorts of strife
0:16:26 > 0:16:29# Cos I already had a wife... #
0:16:29 > 0:16:30A divorced Catholic?
0:16:30 > 0:16:35# Dad did sigh, but the mad old goat Just wouldn't die... #
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Still here! Oop, spoke too soon.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39# At last I can go solo
0:16:39 > 0:16:45# As true King my reign began, Though I was now older than your nan
0:16:45 > 0:16:51# But as the ruler of our nation I banned my wife from my coronation
0:16:51 > 0:16:53# And knowing now That I did hate her
0:16:53 > 0:16:57# She promptly died Just three weeks later
0:16:57 > 0:16:59# But all those pies That I got through

0:17:07 > 0:17:12# Actresses, Duchesses, The great loves of my life
0:17:12 > 0:17:15# I loved more girls than I ate pies
0:17:15 > 0:17:18# But I couldn't stand my wife
0:17:18 > 0:17:23# I had just ten years on the throne, do you remember that?
0:17:23 > 0:17:28# No, all that you remember is...
0:17:30 > 0:17:33# ..I was really fat. #
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Yee-haa! We're having ourselves a fancy dress part-ay.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47In 1866, cowboys ruled the range in America.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50But the real cowboys weren't much like the ones you see in the movies.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Oh, no.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00# Well, I'm a real life cowboy Just a quiet humble fella... #
0:18:00 > 0:18:02That's what we're like, apart from Mike...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Yeah, I'm more of a yeller.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07# Sing songs to pass the evenings
0:18:07 > 0:18:09# And because it soothes the herd so they won't stampede... #
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- Unless Mike sings lead. - I shouts every single word!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Mike!- Sorry.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20# Cos we're cowboys Real-life cowboys
0:18:20 > 0:18:24# Not like the ones You've seen on your TV
0:18:24 > 0:18:26# We've never held up banks At all... #
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- We're poorly paid.- And kinda small.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30# If you still wanna be a cowboy
0:18:30 > 0:18:32# Stick with me
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- # On your horse for 18 hours... # - And that saddle sore is a curse.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Then feed your horse. - And yourself, of course.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Although beans just make it worse. - HE FARTS
0:18:44 > 0:18:45# Then you're back driving cattle
0:18:45 > 0:18:46# That's what being a cowboy means
0:18:46 > 0:18:49# Moving those beasts From west to east... #
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- HE FARTS - Sorry, it's the beans!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54# Cos we're cowboys
0:18:54 > 0:18:57# Real-life cowboys
0:18:57 > 0:19:00# Not like the ones You've seen in the movies
0:19:00 > 0:19:05# We're not big hunks like that John Wayne, cos our horses would complain
0:19:05 > 0:19:07# If you still wanna be a cowboy
0:19:07 > 0:19:09# Join us please
0:19:11 > 0:19:15# You should be aware we have some customs that are strange
0:19:15 > 0:19:19# Like saying howdy, not hello, When you're out here on the range
0:19:19 > 0:19:22# Never touch a cowboy's hat
0:19:22 > 0:19:24# Never ride his horse... #
0:19:24 > 0:19:26So what if I took your old mare?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Well, I'd shoot you, of course. - Fair enough.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32# Cowboys, real life cowboys
0:19:32 > 0:19:36# Not like the ones You see on silver screens
0:19:36 > 0:19:38# We didn't go out Starting fights... #
0:19:38 > 0:19:45Cos unions fought for our rights. Now Mike will do a solo, thanks to beans.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50HE FARTS A TUNE
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- How was that?- It stunk!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57# And now my friends, I fear That the end is drawing near
0:19:57 > 0:20:01# Cos we only ruled the range For 20 years
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Yee-haa!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07That's right, the cowboy era only lasted for about 20 years.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59# Which led to petrol, tyres and bikes, so all that was required
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- # Was roads, so concrete came, and tarmac thought up too... # - You're hired.
