DICKENS WAS A CHARMING MAN

Yes, you heard right - this video is a song about Charles Dickens, to the tune of This Charming Man by The Smiths, with Dickens gazing at the sky, swinging flowers around in the blasé melancholy way that is unavoidably Morrissey - but what 10 year old (unless they have pretty legendary parents) is going to know that?

Gone are the days when children's programmes were only for children; gone are the days when you had to use being ill as an excuse to watch them - with spoofs of Sherlock, Come Dine With Me and even Gok Wan, HORRIBLE HISTORIES is a show fundamentally made for children, but with enough in-jokes that everyone can enjoy it and laugh their heads off!
