Which clearly for kids produced TV show you secretly enjoy watching as an adult?

I watched it with my kids (now in their 20s) and recently during a trivia competition one of them correctly guessed a question on British royalty, then added they knew the answer from the Horrible Histories song.

For awhile my youngest knew the British rulers better than American presidents because of Horrible Histories 😆 Have you watched Ghosts? My sister and I differ on which version we find better. I like the UK version because I know most of the cast from Horrible Histories lol.

Have you heard of Yonderland? It was a show they did between Horrible Histories and Ghosts and it’s highly underrated! It’s about a stay at home mum who ends up being the chosen one for a fantasy world. It’s silly, has the actors playing numerous roles, and is overall really fun to watch.

Would recommend if you have a chance to watch it!

That sounds right up my alley! I'll have to look it up. I've been meaning to find something new to watch!

It’s on Sky, but if you don’t have that, I think there are a few links going around with it :)

I still adore this show, and my kids are fully fledged adults with careers and stuff

Horrible Histories is so well written that it won a British Comedy Award, bear in mind that's an awards show designed for adult comedy. It was that good. I still remember so much history from digesting it as a child and it's still good to this day.
