00:11Mean and Muslim middle-aged
00:13Gory stories, we do that
00:15And your host, a talking rat
00:18The past is no longer a mystery
00:21Welcome to...
00:22Horrible Histories
00:25Horrible Histories presents...
00:29Boots, Barbie Battles Special
00:31Is the coast clear?
00:37Oh, that looked nasty
00:39My brothers and sisters and I are in the middle of an epic battle
00:42One of our classic ratty pillow fights
00:45Incoming!
00:48It all started when my sisters invaded my brother's bedroom
00:52That's how real wars sometimes start too
00:54One nation invades another country
00:56And tries to take it over
00:58Of course, some of history's invasions went better than others
01:01Chuck!
01:04It started with the Spanish Armada
01:08That huge amount of ships that we sent against the English
01:11I think we made them mad
01:13It did
01:14It made them so mad
01:16It led to...
01:18The lesser known Armada
01:19Try and invade us, will you, Spain?
01:22Right now, it's payment time
01:24So Francis Drake
01:27Your march
01:28Unleash
01:29The English Armada
01:32You had me unleash the aim
01:36The English Armada
01:40Led by Francis Drake
01:42Aboard his ship, Revenge
01:44180 ships
01:45Tens of thousands of soldiers
01:48We shall destroy the Spanish fleet
01:50Attack!
01:51No fleet could match them
01:53Wait!
01:54Instead of their fleet of ships
01:57Let's attack the Spanish city of Coruña
02:00But attacking a well defended city instead of a fleet
02:03Might not go as well
02:05I wonder if they've conquered Spain yet
02:08Hmm
02:09Okay
02:11Might take a bit longer than I thought
02:13Longer?
02:14The winds are blowing in the wrong direction
02:16The men are dying of salvation and sickness
02:18What are you complaining about?
02:19We've still got 5,000 men
02:21Yes, but we started out with tens of thousands of men
02:24That's not ideal
02:26The English Armada
02:28The one you've maybe not heard of
02:30And coming soon
02:32You know the English Armada we sent against the Spanish
02:35Because of the Spanish Armada they sent against us
02:37Well I think they may be planning revenge
02:40No
02:41Yes
02:42Another Spanish Armada
02:45The Spanish Armada 2
02:47Armada Harder
02:50I'm beginning to think Armadas might be overrated
02:55Me and my brothers are losing the battle
02:57So we've turned our bedrooms into a fort
02:59We've built barriers at every entrance
03:01So our sisters can't attack us
03:03We are totally safe
03:08Battles are hard
03:09And it's not just the landscapes that are a problem
03:12Take it down you lot
03:14Sorry mum
03:15Sometimes the people are the problem
03:17William the Conqueror found that out
03:19After he killed King Harold at the Battle of Hastings
03:22He came up against a particularly tricky opponent
03:25Harold's mum
03:27Mum
03:33Hello
03:34I am King William of England
03:37I know you're in there
03:40We're not scared of you William
03:42Guys seriously
03:43I am not okay about this rebellion
03:46I just conquered you
03:48I'm so peeved
03:50I literally just poked this guy's eyes out
03:52There was a whole battle near Hastings remember
03:56My rival King Harold and all his brothers were killed or captured
04:01I mean there is literally no one else from the royal family left to lead you
04:08Move it sunshine
04:12Cooey
04:16Oh for crying out loud look who it is
04:18Yeah what if you hadn't poked my eyes out
04:20Oh sorry yeah
04:21It's the old King Harold's mum Geetha
04:23Oh?
04:24Yeah you forgot about mummy didn't ya?
04:30Yeah
04:31Look it would be better for everybody if we ended all this rivalry and you just surrendered
04:37So what do you say?
04:40Why's it all gone quiet?
04:42Hang on something's happening
04:44Oh I think he's getting his bum out
04:46Oh yeah
04:47But why?
04:48Don't worry about it your majesty
04:51Everyone does it when they get nervous
04:53That wasn't me it was them
04:55Oh sure it was
04:56That's our answer
05:00The sound of a movers rage
05:06And by the smell of it
05:10Cabbage
05:13Oh gosh that is strong
05:16Maybe you should go and change your chainmail
05:19It wasn't me
05:20Do you want me to poke something else out?
05:22Yeah can you start with my nose?
05:23Hit him again
05:26I know you have them surrounded but maybe it's time we were treated
05:30Yeah it stinks
05:32That's right
05:34Fear our power
05:37And smell it too
05:40Oh I could smell that one from France
05:43We'll be back
05:44Right that's enough
05:47It's been 90 years since Caesar failed to conquer Britain
05:54Rome as a new emperor determined to finish the job
05:58It's gonna take one tough toga wearer to risk everything in this hellhole
06:03I'm emperor Claudius and this is extreme survival
06:07Step one
06:09Defense
06:10You're on an island filled with bloodthirsty warriors and druids
06:15Staying alive through the night is going to be a challenge
06:18You're going to need protection
06:19And you're going to need it fast
06:21Look around you
06:22What do you see?
06:23Nothing but trees and dirt
06:25But trees and dirt
06:26With training and basic tools can become a fortress
06:29A fortress can keep you alive
06:32When everybody around you wants you dead
06:35But what I like to do is
06:37Stay 900 miles away in a row
06:39And let my general Paulinus and the army do the hard work
06:44When you're faced with that
06:46Being somewhere completely different is a very effective way of staying alive
06:50Step two
06:53Stop rebellions
06:54You've finally arrived in Great Britain because the war has already been won
06:57But now you have to win at a peace
06:59And these locals will rebel at the drop of a helmet
07:01You need to be prepared and that means using what's around you
07:04Look around you what do you see?
07:06A stone can be used as a missile
07:09And wood is good for keeping the fire going at night
07:13Staying well lit and armed is vitally important in a hostile situation
07:17But what I like to do is bring an elephant
07:20It's unlikely the locals would have seen an elephant
07:24What's around they'll say?
07:26And I'll say that's an elephant
07:28And they'll say cool
07:29I've never seen one of those
07:30Let's not rebel
07:31Probably
07:32Who cares?
07:33I've got an elephant
07:34I love it when they do that
07:36Extreme elephant
07:38Step three
07:40Conquer more of the island
07:41So you're safer from attack
07:42You've secured the southeast
07:44But it's gonna take years
07:46To spread your rule across this new and dangerous island
07:49You've got decades of hard work and danger ahead of you
07:52But what I like to do is
07:54Go home after sixteen days
07:56Let the army do the rest
07:58Going home to Rome seriously reduces your chances of being killed abroad
08:02And that's
08:04Extreme survival
08:06Let's bounce
08:08I forgot my elephant
08:14Now Jim
08:18In precisely one minute's time
08:20We're going to march
08:21As British soldiers
08:22Fighting for the East India Company
08:24Into battle
08:25At Syringapatta
08:26How do you like that?
08:27Any chance we can do it tomorrow, Colonel?
08:28Of course
08:29No, we cannot do it tomorrow
08:31We're doing it today
08:32Can we have this conversation in the shade, sir?
08:34I think my hat has caught my head
08:36No, we cannot talk in the shade
08:38A British soldier stands where he must
08:41Be that under fire
08:42In the ice
08:43Or in the sun
08:44Is that understood?
08:46He must be very strong
08:49I think their leader just killed a man with his finger
08:52Why are the British wearing such ridiculously hot and thick uniforms?
08:57You know, marching to someone else's country killing anyone who resists
09:01The least you can do is dress appropriately
09:03We're struggling with the sun, sir
09:05I mean, we all are
09:06We're not used to it
09:07All the fevers
09:08All the water
09:09All the food
09:10Oh, sorry, I've got a dysentery, sir
09:12Alright, hey, oh, oh, oh
09:14That was a close one
09:15I don't care if it's a bit hot
09:18I don't care if you've got a runny bottom
09:21I don't care if anyone's got a little bit of fever
09:26Ah, lemons
09:27Badgers
09:28Soup fairies
09:29That's just fever
09:30He's seeing things
09:31Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
09:33Promise I'm trying to keep him in
09:35Can you hear gunfire?
09:37I think some of them soldiers are dropping bottom bombs
09:40They can't handle food with flavour
09:41It goes straight through them
09:42It is a mystery why they keep stealing food from us
09:45When they finally leave
09:47It is going to take an age to clean up after them
09:49And to rebuild all the cities they've burned
09:51You lot are a disgrace
09:53Now, you need to be ready to march
09:55I am standing dead still and flexing my bum
09:58If I march
10:00There's going to be carnage
10:02Perhaps you'd like to be excused from battle today
10:04Thank you, thank you
10:05Thank you
10:06You shower of toilets
10:09The British Empire covers one-sixth of the world's land
10:12The British soldiers are feared around the globe
10:15Do you really think a bit of heat gut-churning is going to stop us?
10:20Ooh, ooh, ooh
10:22That might slow us down, Ashley
10:25Get a new uniform
10:27I just can't believe we're losing this war to these guys
10:30They'll go out eventually
10:31They'll have to
10:32They'll run out of underwear
10:33run out of underwear we all know the first rule are pillow fights pillows only if we're going to
10:42defeat my sisters I'm going to have to get a bit more creative so I've emptied the feathers out of
10:47this one and put my mate Freddy the Frog inside but Tilda's scared of frogs unfortunately Freddy
10:57scared of the Tilda too come on she's not that scary I guess new weapons for battle are bound to
11:03have teething problems just ask this lot sire I think you'll be impressed I've invented a new
11:12weapon that will revolutionize hunting oh exciting I started with a small sharpened piece of bone but
11:18that is tiny we'll never catch a line with this look did that hurt well a little bit no it didn't
11:26okay but I hadn't finished you see next I glued it to the end of a piece of wood ah you're wasting
11:31your time look this is the smallest bear I've ever seen will never catch a vicious piece with this
11:36child's toy look did that hurt it hurt quite a lot actually no again what if I said I could hurl this
11:43tiny spare a vast distance and hit a target using this interesting never go useless
11:55yes this will never catch a leopard I wouldn't be so sure watch me sire
11:59impressive so hold it like this right
12:08ow sire I would have hit the target if he didn't get in the way let me have another go
12:15I think I'll stand over here

12:21it's broken
12:25try again but round the other way

12:41look it's bound to take a bit of getting used to it I'm pretty sure I'm getting the hang of this now
12:54you did it
12:59amazing you have invented a tool that can fire small spears
13:06I call it a bow and arrow

15:28captain the toilet switch has leaked into the ship's batteries and the sap is filling with poisonous gas
15:33we must surface an abandoned ship
15:35abandoned ship
15:37code brown
15:38abandoned ship
15:39abandoned ship
15:43students the bucket
15:47well dr skinner we're hoping you've come up with something that will help us to defeat the nazis
15:52gentlemen I believe I have a massive advance in missile accuracy piloted missiles
15:59pilot
16:00but who would be stupid enough to pilot a missile that was going to explode
16:03gentlemen meet your new pilot
16:15you want a pigeon to fly the bomb
16:17of course not
16:20I want three pigeons to fly the bomb
16:22gentlemen
16:23each pigeon
16:24harnessed inside the missile has been trained to peck at the target when they see it
16:29this pecking transmits a signal via the bird's beak which controls the bomb's tail fins and directs it towards the target
16:37oh nine you've destroyed my nazi battleship who'd have suspected a pigeon
16:43oh somebody give skinner a promotion
16:46are we being pranked?
16:48do you want us to entrust the war to birds?
16:51these are no ordinary birds sir
16:54my pigeons are graduates of the skinner school of aviation
16:57you created a flying school for pigeons
17:00well they're not going to train themselves are they?
17:02who is this guy?
17:04let me show you something
17:06what are you doing?
17:09a demonstration sir
17:10each pigeon has been trained to ignore the distractions of war
17:15my eyes
17:17my eyes
17:18see it didn't even flinch
17:20thank you dr skinner
17:22we have heard enough
17:23i'm sorry to disappoint you but it's a terrible idea
17:26i'm sure implementing your pigeon plan would have been a real coup
17:31and i don't want you to get in a flap
17:33but it's time for you and your pigeons to take off
17:39hey where'd that pigeon go?
17:41i told you they were trained to hit enemy targets
17:47oh being in a battle is exhausting
17:52thankfully mummus has brought me a cheese sandwich to keep me going
17:55and i think she might be supplying the enemy too
17:58girls sandwiches are ready

22:06we've only got three left
22:09we've only got two left
22:11luckily people in history
22:13have had all sorts of inventive ways
22:15to stop war and find peace
22:17and one of the more surprising ways is
22:20marriage
22:21that one was my favourite
22:24they say there is a wafer thin line between love and hate
22:31so is it any wonder that when two warring rivals look for peace
22:36it is l'amour that shows the way
22:39pharaoh ramesses the second is looking for love
22:44or an end to war
22:45one of the two
22:46i hope i like her
22:48i hope my wives like her as well
