0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Terrible Tudors, Gorgeous Georgians Slimy Stuarts, vile Victorians
0:00:04 > 0:00:07# Woeful wars, ferocious fights Dingy castles, daring knights
0:00:07 > 0:00:10# Horrors that defy description Cut-throat Celts, awful Egyptians

0:00:18 > 0:00:23# Gory stories, we do that And your host, a talking rat
0:00:23 > 0:00:27# The past is no longer a mystery Welcome to...

0:00:36 > 0:00:42Yo, yo, yo! MC mouse is in da house. Well, actually I'm a rat,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44but MC rat in da flat sounds a bit rubbish, really.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Anyhow, time to get this song special started,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50so let's rock back to the Stone Age!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Not that this is a rock song, it's actually jazz.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58# And so you've heard the Stone Age occurred
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# For two and a half million years
0:01:01 > 0:01:04# But there's more of Stone Age to engage
0:01:04 > 0:01:06# Than maybe it first appears
0:01:08 > 0:01:11# Dinosaurs, Neanderthals let's make this clearer
0:01:11 > 0:01:14# Didn't live together came from different eras
0:01:14 > 0:01:17# That's not all I can tell ya So much more to be known
0:01:17 > 0:01:20# About the many phases in the ages of stone
0:01:20 > 0:01:23# Shoo be do be do wop it's all the rage
0:01:23 > 0:01:25# So skiddly bop do wop brush up on your Stone Age
0:01:25 > 0:01:27# Oh, yeah!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29# All right!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31# It's fine to define the Neo-Palaeolithic
0:01:31 > 0:01:34# But you're gonna have to be a little more specific
0:01:34 > 0:01:37# Do you mean lower when ancient beings first used tools
0:01:37 > 0:01:40# Or metal Palaeolithic when Neanderthal ruled?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43# That's when Homo sapiens starts to emerge
0:01:43 > 0:01:46# But just in Africa, it's long before the global surge
0:01:46 > 0:01:49# Not till upper Palaeolithic 40,000 years ago
0:01:49 > 0:01:53# Did Neanderthal and Homo sapiens say hello
0:01:53 > 0:01:56# Neanderthal and Homo sapi
0:01:56 > 0:01:59# Living in caveman harmony
0:01:59 > 0:02:01# Language was invented cave painting art
0:02:01 > 0:02:04# Then Palaeolithic ended which meant the start
0:02:04 > 0:02:07# Of phase two be do be do wop turn a new page
0:02:07 > 0:02:10# Skiddly bop do wop brush up on your Stone Age
0:02:10 > 0:02:13# Oh, yeah! All right!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16# This is where it starts to get all scientific
0:02:16 > 0:02:19# Palaeolithic's followed by the era Mesolithic
0:02:19 > 0:02:22# Then Neanderthals are wiped out by the ice age, horrific
0:02:22 > 0:02:25# After which the Neolithic age was terrific
0:02:25 > 0:02:28# Man learned to farm, build homes so they could settle
0:02:28 > 0:02:31# Then some other folks turned up and they discovered metal
0:02:31 > 0:02:34# Bigger men from Europe found bronze and outgrown
0:02:34 > 0:02:37# The simple and traditional ways of stone
0:02:37 > 0:02:40# Bronze Age was invented by now man was flying
0:02:40 > 0:02:43# Cos hot on his heels came the age of iron
0:02:43 > 0:02:46# Celts, Druids, religion and Rome
0:02:46 > 0:02:49# By now a distant memory those ages of stone
0:02:49 > 0:02:52# Shoo be do be do wop since that metallic stage
0:02:52 > 0:02:54# Skiddly bop do wop there was no more Stone Age
0:02:54 > 0:02:58# Sho be do be do wop now you know what is known
0:02:58 > 0:03:00# About the many phases of the ages of stone. #
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Ye-e-eah!
0:03:04 > 0:03:05All right!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Time for the next song. You ain't wrong,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12it's Egyptian star, Cleopatra.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14# Rah rah, Cleopatra
0:03:14 > 0:03:16# Famous beauty coming at ya

0:03:23 > 0:03:27# I'm Cleopatra, such a Queen never been seen
0:03:27 > 0:03:31# I am a pharaoh, yet they're all meant to be guys
0:03:31 > 0:03:35# But I don't care-o, I just wear-o a beard disguise
0:03:35 > 0:03:38# My mum and dad were pharaohs I thought I was too
0:03:38 > 0:03:42# But both my older sisters thought that they should rule too
0:03:42 > 0:03:45# Oh dear they both died I wonder who that will leave
0:03:46 > 0:03:50# Little me-o pharaoh Cleo OK, no time to grieve
0:03:50 > 0:03:55# Think that's alarming, you'd be right but it gets worse
0:03:55 > 0:03:59# Married my half brother and we ruled the universe
0:03:59 > 0:04:02# That bad romance led to an overcrowded throne
0:04:02 > 0:04:05# But then he died, boo hoo So now I rule alone
0:04:05 > 0:04:07# Woah woah woah woah woah
0:04:08 > 0:04:09# All hail lady Cleo
0:04:09 > 0:04:10# Woah woah woah la la
0:04:12 > 0:04:13# Coolest pharaoh by far
0:04:17 > 0:04:19# Fashion topped my list of vices
0:04:19 > 0:04:21# Bathed in asses' milk and spices
0:04:21 > 0:04:24# Then I dressed like goddess Isis Long black hair in ringlets nicest
0:04:24 > 0:04:26# Vipers too for men entices
0:04:26 > 0:04:29# Finest linen robe, top prices
0:04:33 > 0:04:36# Married another brother, he's an OK geezer
0:04:36 > 0:04:40# But never told of my love for Julius Caesar
0:04:40 > 0:04:44# Had Caesar's child and hoped that he'd be crowned king
0:04:44 > 0:04:47# My bro said no, I said oh and I murdered him
0:04:47 > 0:04:51# Cos I am Cleopatra Egypt's royalty
0:04:51 > 0:04:55# The ruling pharaoh don't you dare-o mess with me
0:04:55 > 0:04:59# My poker face smiles only when I see
0:04:59 > 0:05:03# A man who takes my fancy like, oh, Mark Antony
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- # Woah woah woah woah woah - Another Roman leader
0:05:07 > 0:05:09# Woah woah woah la la No Egyptian crowd pleaser
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- # Rah rah, Cleopatra - Finally I'd met my match-a
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- # Rah rah, Patracleo - Ends in death for him and me-o
0:05:18 > 0:05:22# My life was a drama I was one kooky mamma
0:05:22 > 0:05:25# Woah woah woah you know
0:05:25 > 0:05:29# Today I'd be a favourite of the paparazzo. #

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Boast battle!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46BEATBOXING
0:05:46 > 0:05:48# So let's clear the air Grab a chair
0:05:48 > 0:05:51# I got flair when I fight a bear
0:05:51 > 0:05:53# I rip off it's skin for my wife to wear
0:05:53 > 0:05:56# I did it for a dare I'm your worst nightmare
0:05:56 > 0:05:57# Look close, check out my facial hair
0:05:57 > 0:06:02# Relax, face facts, a fight with you would be an anticlimax
0:06:02 > 0:06:04# When you go to war, you don't take off your slacks
0:06:04 > 0:06:07# Look at me, I'm tough I fight in the buff
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- # I could say more but I've said enough, so...- Boast battle!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- # Have grace, shut your face - Boast battle!
0:06:12 > 0:06:13# You're well off the pace
0:06:13 > 0:06:16# Seems to me that you're not even skilled
0:06:16 > 0:06:18# I'd stab you right now but I'm trying to chill
0:06:18 > 0:06:20# In a rage, on the rampage
0:06:20 > 0:06:22# I've killed more men than old age
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- # Boast battle! - And I've only just begun
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- # Boast battle! - And I'm not even done
0:06:27 > 0:06:29# You're just killing the enemy That's lazy
0:06:29 > 0:06:31# I kill my own people I'm that crazy
0:06:31 > 0:06:34# I go berserk and my eyes go glazy
0:06:34 > 0:06:37# I get so mad I could stab a daisy... #
0:06:37 > 0:06:40But I won't, cos that would be...stupid
0:06:40 > 0:06:43# All right, all right, stop! Think a while
0:06:43 > 0:06:45# Look at your style, man, that's vile
0:06:45 > 0:06:47# Looks like you've been dressed by a reptile
0:06:47 > 0:06:51# I'm dressed like a king I wear a torc round my neck
0:06:51 > 0:06:54# When I'm doing my killing On my finger, I'm wearing a ring
0:06:54 > 0:06:57# When I said I fight nude, I wasn't counting my bling, yeah
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- # Boast battle! - And I paint myself blue
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- # Boast battle! - That's way, way cooler than you
0:07:01 > 0:07:04# So much better than you that you ought to bow
0:07:04 > 0:07:06# I'd fight you but you wouldn't know how
0:07:06 > 0:07:08# Enough of the talk, yeah? End this now
0:07:08 > 0:07:10# I can sum it all up in just one word... #
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Oww!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Mu-um!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Those Celts might think they're tough,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22but they're nothing compared to this Middle Ages Scottish rebel.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32# I am William Wallace My life was a mystery
0:07:32 > 0:07:35# Some say born 1272, some say 1263
0:07:35 > 0:07:38# Was that Malcolm of Paisley Maybe Alan from Ayr
0:07:38 > 0:07:41# Did I have a wife or no? Do you really care?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44# They say I had a big red beard but all you need to know
0:07:44 > 0:07:47# I was a Scottish rebel and the English were my foe
0:07:47 > 0:07:51# William Wallace, Scottish rebel
0:07:51 > 0:07:53# This is war, I cried
0:07:53 > 0:07:57# Many English fought me
0:07:57 > 0:08:00# And many English died
0:08:03 > 0:08:06# I took against the English back when I was fairly wee
0:08:06 > 0:08:10# Cos an Englishman called Selby bullied my whole family
0:08:10 > 0:08:12# It upset me so I struck him dead Well, wouldn't you?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16# An English sheriff came along Guess what? I killed him too
0:08:16 > 0:08:19# They say he killed my wife so he deserved what he got
0:08:19 > 0:08:21# Then England's King Ed came for me
0:08:21 > 0:08:22# Oh, I'm scared...not!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25# William Wallace, Scottish rebel
0:08:25 > 0:08:28# Possibly six foot seven
0:08:28 > 0:08:31# But all that really matters is
0:08:31 > 0:08:35# I sent Englishmen to heaven
0:08:35 > 0:08:38# 40,000 English came to Stirling Bridge for me
0:08:38 > 0:08:41# They had to cross a narrow bridge to get to us, you see
0:08:41 > 0:08:44# We held them off, pushed them back, it was no contest
0:08:44 > 0:08:46# Bridge collapsed hundreds drowned
0:08:46 > 0:08:47# Of course I killed the rest
0:08:47 > 0:08:50# Celebrated Stirling Bridge another Scottish win
0:08:50 > 0:08:54# By decorating my sword with the English General's skin
0:08:54 > 0:08:57# William Wallace, Scottish rebel
0:08:57 > 0:09:00# Scottish legend too
0:09:00 > 0:09:03# Fought for Scottish freedom
0:09:03 > 0:09:06# Was a hero through and through
0:09:06 > 0:09:08GUITAR SOLO
0:09:13 > 0:09:16# Here's where my rebel story comes unstuck
0:09:16 > 0:09:20# At Falkirk defeated I'd run out of luck
0:09:20 > 0:09:24# Spent seven years playing hide and seek
0:09:24 > 0:09:27# Captured, sent to London, tried for treason, what a cheek
0:09:27 > 0:09:30# King Ed hanged me then a lovely touch
0:09:30 > 0:09:34# Pulled my guts out Guess he didn't like me much
0:09:37 > 0:09:41# Ye-e-e-eah!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43# William Wallace, Scottish rebel
0:09:43 > 0:09:47# In Scotland my heart lived
0:09:47 > 0:09:49# Though sadly my head wound up
0:09:49 > 0:09:54# On a spike on London Bri-i-idge. #
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Ooh, that smarts!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Time for some Aztec priests to change the mood,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03so let's see you get on down at the disc-aztec.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14# We're Aztec priests so mind your head
0:10:14 > 0:10:16# Our prisoners always wind up dead
0:10:16 > 0:10:20# Our favourite colour is blood red We're not nice
0:10:20 > 0:10:22# At an Aztec temple's opening day
0:10:22 > 0:10:24# We priests would please the gods this way
0:10:24 > 0:10:28# Hordes of enemies we'd slay by sacrifice
0:10:28 > 0:10:31# To win at war make crops grow more
0:10:31 > 0:10:32# To cure our kids when ill
0:10:32 > 0:10:35# The sun to shine this song to rhyme
0:10:35 > 0:10:37# More victims we must kill
0:10:37 > 0:10:39# Ha ha ha ha
0:10:39 > 0:10:42# You won't survive You won't survive
0:10:42 > 0:10:43# Ha ha ha ha
0:10:43 > 0:10:46# Ain't staying alive Ain't staying alive
0:10:46 > 0:10:47# Ye-e-eah
0:10:47 > 0:10:50# With sacrifice, we priests appease
0:10:50 > 0:10:52# Our gods, each powerful big cheese
0:10:52 > 0:10:54# Let's hear it for your favourites please
0:10:54 > 0:10:56# O-o-oh
0:10:56 > 0:10:58# We're doing it for Toci
0:10:58 > 0:11:00# The Aztec goddess of the earth's heart
0:11:00 > 0:11:03# We're doing it for Chantico
0:11:03 > 0:11:05# Goddess who makes volcanoes start
0:11:05 > 0:11:07# We're doing it for Itzli
0:11:07 > 0:11:09# The goddess of stone knives
0:11:09 > 0:11:11# We're doing it for Itztlacoliuhqui
0:11:11 > 0:11:14# Chiconahuiehecatl... #
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Er.... # Some other gods' great lives
0:11:18 > 0:11:19# Ha ha ha ha
0:11:19 > 0:11:22# Don't cross us Aztecs we advise ya
0:11:22 > 0:11:24# Ha ha ha ha
0:11:24 > 0:11:26# Or you'll end up as fertiliser
0:11:26 > 0:11:28# Ye-e-eah
0:11:28 > 0:11:30# Our year starts in November
0:11:30 > 0:11:32# When every priestly member
0:11:32 > 0:11:36# Is asked if they'll remember our Aztec dead
0:11:36 > 0:11:38# We do this if you haven't guessed
0:11:38 > 0:11:40# By getting something off your chest
0:11:40 > 0:11:45# Your heart would probably be best or else your head
0:11:45 > 0:11:49# And then on our year planners it's the raising of the banners
0:11:49 > 0:11:51# And it's only polite manners
0:11:51 > 0:11:54# To kill more guys
0:11:54 > 0:11:58# December and January dismembering methods vary
0:11:58 > 0:12:02# All you need to know is that we pile 'em high
0:12:02 > 0:12:06# May and June, it's summer time the killing is easy
0:12:06 > 0:12:08# It's only halfway through the year
0:12:08 > 0:12:10# Bet you're feeling queasy
0:12:10 > 0:12:15# In autumn time, we sweep our homes and kill some more, but then
0:12:15 > 0:12:17# By late October the killing's over
0:12:17 > 0:12:19# Then it starts up again
0:12:19 > 0:12:21# Ha ha ha ha
0:12:21 > 0:12:23# You won't survive You won't survive
0:12:23 > 0:12:25# Ha ha ha ha
0:12:25 > 0:12:27# Ain't staying alive Ain't staying alive
0:12:27 > 0:12:30# Ha ha ha ha
0:12:30 > 0:12:32# Want to live until you're old?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34# Ha ha ha ha
0:12:34 > 0:12:37# Avoid us priests You've been told. #
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Ha-ha-ha!
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Middle Ages' King Richard III came in for a lot of bad press.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45But did he really deserve it?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Take it away, little Richard.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53# I was sure that you'd love me
0:12:53 > 0:12:56# To that hope I did cling
0:12:56 > 0:12:59# Cos I'm Richard III
0:12:59 > 0:13:03# And everybody loves a king
0:13:03 > 0:13:06# Thought I did a good job Why do you disagree?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10# There's a lot of people spreading nasty rumours 'bout me
0:13:10 > 0:13:13# Every word is a lie so I'm singing this song
0:13:13 > 0:13:16# Cos the history books have been telling it wrong
0:13:16 > 0:13:19# Never had a limp Always walked my full height
0:13:19 > 0:13:22# Never had a hump and my arm was all right
0:13:22 > 0:13:26# Never took the Crown with illegal power
0:13:26 > 0:13:29# Never killed my nephews the Princes in the Tower
0:13:29 > 0:13:33# Tudor propaganda, it's all absurd
0:13:35 > 0:13:40# Time to tell the truth about King Richard III
0:13:42 > 0:13:45# My brother Edward died
0:13:45 > 0:13:48# His kids too young to rule
0:13:48 > 0:13:51# So I took the throne
0:13:51 > 0:13:54# Why not? I'm nobody's fool
0:13:54 > 0:13:58# Thomas Moore wrote a history said I murdered Edward's boys
0:13:58 > 0:14:01# Shakespeare said their death was an evil ploy
0:14:01 > 0:14:04# But I say those two are historical vandals
0:14:04 > 0:14:07# They've ruined my image I mean, what a scandal!

0:14:33 > 0:14:36# Can you imagine it I'm the last Plantagenet
0:14:36 > 0:14:39# Beaten by Henry in the Wars of the Roses
0:14:39 > 0:14:43# The Tudor dynasty didn't care that much for me
0:14:43 > 0:14:46# Now I'm painted as a baddie, that's why one, supposes...

0:15:19 > 0:15:24Poor old Richard III, he seems like a nice guy.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Unlike this Georgian villain,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29who everybody thought was terribly glamorous. I beg to differ!
0:15:33 > 0:15:34# Everyone thinks they know the story
0:15:34 > 0:15:36# Of Dick Turpin's highway glory
0:15:36 > 0:15:39# But my past is far more gory I was no saint
0:15:39 > 0:15:42# You think life is one big antic My profession is romantic
0:15:42 > 0:15:45# Hate to be pedantic, but it ain't
0:15:51 > 0:15:52# Huh!
0:15:52 > 0:15:56# As a butcher down in Essex I was handy with a knife
0:15:56 > 0:15:59# Had a sideline as a poacher Led a less-than-honest life
0:15:59 > 0:16:03# The notorious gang of Gregory liked my style and dedication
0:16:03 > 0:16:06# They signed me up and gave me a real robber's education
0:16:06 > 0:16:09# We rampaged through the Essex farms, stole and robbed and fought
0:16:09 > 0:16:13# But when the law came for us I escaped and they got caught
0:16:13 > 0:16:16# I became a highwayman
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- # Was daylight robbery - Huh!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22# I was no prince charming
0:16:22 > 0:16:27- # Nothing dandy about me - Huh!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30# The truth is I was violent and with my good mate Matt King
0:16:30 > 0:16:33# Robbed travellers at gunpoint Money, watches, anything
0:16:33 > 0:16:36# My horse wasn't called Black Bess although that's what you've read
0:16:36 > 0:16:40# Was no romantic hero Shot not one but two men dead
0:16:40 > 0:16:43# The legend that surrounds me misses out the crucial part
0:16:43 > 0:16:47# I was a ruthless killer with a ruthless killer's heart
0:16:47 > 0:16:52# I was a vicious highwayman A source of pain and tears
0:16:52 > 0:16:53# Huh!
0:16:53 > 0:16:57# When you hear how my story ends
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- # You won't believe your ears - Huh!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03# I ran away to Yorkshire changed my name to John Palmer
0:17:03 > 0:17:07# Was sent to prison after stealing chickens from a farmer
0:17:07 > 0:17:10# Wrote a letter to my family A plea it did relate
0:17:10 > 0:17:13# The postman saw the envelope and here's the twist of fate
0:17:13 > 0:17:17# He had taught me how to write so he knew I'd lied
0:17:17 > 0:17:20# That's not John Palmer's hand That's Dick Turpin's, he cried
0:17:20 > 0:17:26# Was a vicious highwayman, my crimes had brought me fame
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- # Huh! - Was stitched up by a postie
0:17:30 > 0:17:33# That's not glamorous, that's lame
0:17:33 > 0:17:34# Huh!

0:20:35 > 0:20:36so did women.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Because only men were allowed to vote
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and towards the end of Victoria's reign,
0:20:41 > 0:20:46some women started protesting this was unfair, good day.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- We are the Suffragettes. - Think you know some fierce girls?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51You ain't heard nothing yet.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02# Argued the government to change the laws
0:21:02 > 0:21:05# Here is how she stated our plight
0:21:05 > 0:21:09# How come girls can't vote for rules that we have to obey
0:21:09 > 0:21:12# When we work and pay taxes too
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- # Parliament's reaction was... - Oh, do go away!
0:21:16 > 0:21:19# How dare they diss the Suffrage crew
0:21:19 > 0:21:23# Suffragettes sing We're going to do this thing
0:21:23 > 0:21:26# Peaceful protests started in 1903
0:21:26 > 0:21:30# Got no reaction Needed drastic action
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- # Got a new leader, Emmeline Pankhurst- That's me!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40# Burst down to parliament shouting votes for women
0:21:40 > 0:21:44# Actions that were shocking and new
0:21:44 > 0:21:47# Chain ourselves to Palace gates Tension was brimming
0:21:47 > 0:21:50# On the WSPU
0:21:50 > 0:21:54# Burned down churches, smashed up shops, attacked MPs
0:21:54 > 0:21:58# The result, we were thrown in jail
0:21:58 > 0:22:01# This made us more determined as you'll come to see
0:22:01 > 0:22:05# Think we'd give up fighting? Hey, fail!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08# Suffragettes sing Together we can win
0:22:08 > 0:22:12# In prison we protested and went on hunger strike

0:22:36 > 0:22:40We can't give women votes if they're so stupid, they'll do that!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43# Seemed our cause was lost when World War came along
0:22:43 > 0:22:46# Our Suffragette reaction
0:22:46 > 0:22:50# Was to wave our protest goodbye Farewell, so long
0:22:50 > 0:22:54# To patriotic action
0:22:54 > 0:22:57# Put down our banners saying give us votes, instead
0:22:57 > 0:23:01# Supported the men's fight
0:23:01 > 0:23:04# We worked to help them win the war, so guess what they said...? #
0:23:04 > 0:23:08OK, ladies, you were right.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11# Suffragettes sing, We've done it, ding ding
0:23:11 > 0:23:15# At last those men can see they should treat us the same
0:23:15 > 0:23:18# So all take note Now women can vote
0:23:18 > 0:23:20# And it's thanks to those who fought
0:23:20 > 0:23:22# In the Suffragette name. #
