This show is pretty much Brainiac: Science abuse but instead of the odd bit of actual science stuffed in by a forethought, its history instead. However the show is still based round various fun bodily functions, weapons and good old fashioned explosives.
Sometimes a lot of the various bangs and boffs seem just for the hell of it, but to be quite fair that just makes the scatter-shot humour hit on target more often than not.
Something the show is lacking though is a set and charismatic presenter to spice things up, this alone makes it less good than the Science abuse.
Overall though if you can stand the strong British humour and the various gross out jokes that seem to pop up more often than not you'll be in for a real treat. Who says educational programs are boring?
