Four Georges: Horrible Histories Prom

Watch an extract from 'Four Georges' a 'horrible history' of four King Georges, given at the 'Horrible Histories' Prom at the Royal Albert Hall Prom.

1883 - Krakatoa Island. The moon turns blue. It鈥檚 caused by the ash from a huge volcanic eruption as it is scattered through the air. The eruption is heard 3000 km away and the tidal wave it creates carries a steam ship 3 km into the jungle of a nearby island. Awesome. (This rare event happens just once in a blue moon, you鈥檒l be pleased to hear.)
