Horrible Histories: Gory Games
Dave Lamb and Rattus Rattus star in their own rotten game show, Horrible Histories: Gory Games, where three horrible historians test their knowledge of the beastly bits of history. They compete in three different eras, each with a quiz and a game, to win Year Spheres, and ultimately to win the show.

Opening theme
If mummies, rats and fleas ain't your thing
And you don't like the sound of an exploding king
If you're easily scared and don't laugh at poo
You'd better turn off, this show ain't for you.
Still watching? Then let's test your brains

Closing theme
Was that show messy enough for you?
Or would you have preferred a little more poo?
Have you had your fill of blood, guts and gore?
Or have we left you still wanting more?
Well, keep watching
We'll be back again
