Good news: there's a new Horrible History DVD boxset out. Bad news: your children may not find it funny
Briefly

In fairness to all parents, what on earth was this box set thinking? None of the films contained within (Marco Polo, The Pirate, Boxer Rebellion and Four Riders) are called Horrible History. The only thing that warrants the title is the fact that the films are both historical and quite violent.
And then their violent disappointment as they slowly put two and two together and realise that instead of buying them Horrible Histories (a DVD of sophisticated yet child-friendly historical parody sketches), you have actually bought them Horrible History (the new limited edition four-DVD boxset of violent, decades-old kung fu movies by the Chinese director Chang Cheh).
