The Unimportant History of Britain archive

This comic, sketch-based romp takes you through the portals of British history, beginning with a murder investigation involving a henge, a wheel and some loose forays into forensic science. Admire! as Henry VIII gets a makeover and shoulder pads in a brazen re-interpretation of a 1980s texan soap opera. Swoon! as we swagger about the late 18th century with Admiral Nelson's boisterous cousin Enoch as he turns shy, wibbly Britons into Great Britons. Mumble Incoherently! as we bring together Gandhi, Stalin, Churchill and Houdini for a debate under the rules of Just a Minute.
