''Horrible Histories'', alternatively known as ''Horrible Histories Specials'', is a British sketch comedy children's television series, the second live-action iteration of the book series Horrible Histories written by Terry Deary. Produced by Lion Television for the CBBC, it is a revival of the previous live-action TV series, which had formally ceased production in 2013, and treated as "Series 6" of the show's previous incarnation. In 2014 CBBC executives announced that, owing to the critical and popular success of the original, discussions were underway regarding some form of return. Original series star Mathew Baynton subsequently confirmed that he and the other five members of the starring cast would not be reuniting as a team for the new project. The resulting series, while sharing the same core concept, genre and sensibilities as its predecessor—including an original parody song in each episode—follows a notably different format. In lieu of the previous short, unconnected sketches from randomly-selected time periods, the new series consists of specials focusing on the specific life and times of one prominent historical figure. It will also involve a largely all-new production team and cast, while still retaining Greg Jenner as lead historical consultant and many of the original series's writers. In addition, original stars Sarah Hadland, Simon Farnaby, Lawry Lewin and Jim Howick returned in limited roles, with Farnaby in particular reprising his role as Death. Several prominent UK comedy veterans, including Ben Miller, Kathryn Drysdale, Tom Rosenthal and Rowan Atkinson, guest-starred as the spotlighted figures. In February 2015 the new series debuted with an episode drawing on the events leading up to the signing of the Magna Carta, timed to coincide with the BBC's larger commemoration of the document's 800-year anniversary. ==Cast== These are the cast who have appeared in all or most of the specials: *Simon Farnaby *Jalaal Hartley〔 *Jim Howick〔 *Naz Osmanoglu〔 *Jessica Ransom〔 *Adam Riches〔 *Tom Stourton〔 Supporting cast: *Louise Ford〔 *Katherine Jakeways *Lawry Lewin〔 *Jason Lewis〔 *Bhavna Limbachia *Dan Li〔 *Dominique Moore *Giles Terera *Natalie Walter *Sophie Wu Guest starring: *Rowan Atkinson〔 *Sanjeev Bhaskar〔 *Kathryn Drysdale〔 *Kevin Eldon〔 *Ben Miller〔 *Tom Rosenthal〔 *Lorna Watson〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Horrible Histories (2015 TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
