Marie Antoinette in Horrible Histories

 Horrible Histories is a British kids show. It's based on the Horrible Histories book series by Terry Deary. There have been 4 series's which are all approximately 13 episodes long. In the show they have lots of segments (different periods in history), such as,  Angry Aztecs, Awful Egyptians, Frightful First World War, Gorgeous Georgians, Groovy Greeks, Incredible Incas, Measly Middle Ages, Rotten Romans, Smashing Saxons, Woeful Second World War, Savage Stone Age, Slimy Stuarts, Terrible Tudors, Vile Victorians, Vicious Viking and, the one I'm going to be talking about today, Fabulous French. Most of the sketches in the Fabulous French segment are set around the Revolution and some of them include Marie Antoinette, like the Historical Wife Swap Sketch (pretty self-explanatory) and the Revolution Weather Report. I thought instead of talking about them, I would get links of the sketches on YouTube.
