Trivia[]
- This was the first series 1 episode of Horrible Histories episode to air on television.
- The first reoccurring sketches to appear were Imagine Spot, Ready Steady Feast, advertisements, Video Games, Historical Hairdressers and Twisted Fairytales.
Errors[]
- During the song The 4 Georges: Born 2 Rule, George I says that he died on the loo, however, this is not true as it was his successor George II who died on the toilet due to him having diarrhoea. George ii also indicates that George iii is his son which is again inaccurate as George the iii was in fact his grandson. These errors were fixed when the cast performed the song at the Horrible Histories prom.
- The idea of pirates receiving the "Black Spot" to tell another pirate that they have been marked for death comes from Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' and has no factual basis.
