Friday Video: Rowan Atkinson as Henry VIII
Friday, June 5, 2015
Isabella reporting,
This is brand-new and brilliant from Horrible Histories - Rowan Atkinson (of Blackadder fame) tackles Henry VIII by way of Elvis.
Really, what else is there to say?

MADE MY DAY! Thanks for this post, and for so many other informative, esoteric and wacky posts.

That was, in a word, BRILLIANT!

First Schoolhouse Rock, now Horrible Histories. As Julie said, "Brilliant!"
And what's not to love about Rowen Atkinson??
An honest account of what Henry VIII's "reformation" was about. As citizen of Northern Ireland, I am painfully aware of the consequences which, more than 400 years later, still cost lives.
Horrible Histories is a great series in general but this clip is particularly funny and tells the story
"A little more Reformation, a little less monasteries..." haha - awesome ��
Ahh, I remember watching "Blackadder"! I've seen a few "Horrible Histories" clips, too, and it's very satisfying to see that they got Rowan Atkinson to come on. My inner editor/grammar-stickler is also amused at the little sign at the bottom saying that it's "fewer", not "less"!
