History: well it's just a load of people in tights and codpieces saying things like "sire" and "milady" and "hand me my armour: I will silence that buffoon!"

Or is it?

In the classroom, was Henry VIII presented as a tremendously bad actor with a Texan accent and a ridiculous wig? When you chat to people in the bar about King Arthur, does anyone ever mention the Cornish stone-workers who had to build the enormous hulking mass that was the round table, with an inbuilt barbeque so Arthur could put on an apron, flip burgers and be the man of the castle while Guinevere was made to prepare a salad (again!)?

The Loch Ness Monster: Not a historical figure, you might think. Well, we believe, like lots of children, that Nessy does exist, and there's a man who's been sitting in a boat for a very long time who's convinced it's down there! But can we convince you?

When you think of Nicholas Parsons, do you ever think "Just a minute, how old IS this guy!?" I mean, he's like the Queen: neither will leave without a fight, there's no hesitation or deviation, though we reckon there's probably a lot of repetition! Well, we've some rare footage of the early 20th century political debate that made him famous.

Quite a few questions there. If your answer to any of them was "Yes", "No", "What?" or "Can I go to the toilet, please?", why not come and see one of the best little shows in London, "The Unimportant History of Britain" - Don't be shy now. Get in there before the others do, and introduce yourself and your friends to a truly unforgettable night out.
