@chrisgpackham.bsky.social can you help me out with this mystery bird that made its way onto the feeder for a second or so today, please? Is it a (tree) Pipit or a Dunnock, do you think? Many thanks for any wisdom!

Today at 5.30pm on CBBC it’s another new #HorribleHistories - this time about “Enormous Empires”. Mid-battle diarrhoea, Genghis Khan teaching in a school, Golden noses, general relentless conquering and terrible, despotic behaviour - it’s all in there. Timely.

Another new #HorribleHistories at 5.30 today for you on CBBC - a look at Twisted Technology. Mobile phones, vibrating platforms that make you poop yourself, and the Nirvana x Thomas Edison collab you’ve been waiting for (in which I got to fulfill my teenage drum fantasies…)

Another new #HorribleHistories today at 5.30pm on CBBC, this time looking at the History of our Terrible Transport. Contains one of my favourite Henry VIII sketches, some very cool old machines, and some very silly business.

One of my favourite eps of #HorribleHistories goes out today at 5.30 on #CBBC - a show all about some of History’s most ridiculous Rules. Peak silliness and factual idiocy, plus one of our best final songs…

New #HorribleHistories time! 5.30pm today on #cbbc and your iPlayer we take a look at some of History’s most Brilliant Brains, with Mark Labbett (what with his brilliant brain, and all that!). Very silly but brainy business…
