It's one step above Blackadder, but that's fine: the Victorians fictionalised their history. We shouldn't try to dress it up as brilliant history.

It plays to stereotypes, but it's fantastic as entry-level history. While admitting he has not yet seen the programme, Tristram Hunt, the historian and Labour MP, expressed concerns in December about Horrible Histories being adapted for primetime BBC1, describing it as "cartoon content for adults". Richard Bradley, the programme's executive producer and managing director of Lion TV, rejects this perception: "Lion has done countless history programmes, but Horrible Histories is the best history we've ever done.

It looks at the role of women, social history, attitudes to authority and class. We've done the foundation of the Anglican church and the American civil war. It's incredibly dense and factual.

My eight-year-old said to me after watching one sketch: 'So, that's what the Restoration was. Bradley says that his son must take some credit for the show ever being produced. But how could I get the rights?

Even though the publisher Scholastic held the licence, the first thing was to get Deary on board. He had had a terrible experience with a little-known animated version of his books being produced about 10 years ago in the US. But he said there were three things that must happen if we were to do it: it must be horrible, funny and true. Bradley says it took a while to find the "spirit of Blackadder, Monty Python and Carry On", which he credits as the show's key success.

In addition to the time-travelling ghost-train format "it was too similar to Doctor Who and Mr Benn" , Lion also tried to develop a Dumbledore-like master storyteller as narrator — "a sort of wizard historian" — but it felt too generic. Working with Anne Gilchrist, the then controller of CBBC , we finally struck on the live-action comedy route directed and acted by adult comedy talent. Bradley says the programme has led the trend for adult comedy writers and directors working in kids TV. But the most rewarding aspect of making the programme, he adds, was first showing it to children.

The reaction was fantastic.

The recognition of the Horrible Histories brand is so strong that they even cheered the names Groovy Greeks and Rotten Romans. There were a few sketches that missed the beat, admits Bradley — a riff on the Incas, for example. We're still learning what works best for children.

At the moment, we have never gone further than the Blitz, but we are having discussions now about doing a sketch based during the fall of the Berlin Wall. At the first writers' meeting we sat round with the producer watching clips of Blackadder and Life of Brian. The point, from the outset, was to stress that this was a comedy show based on history, not a history show with a bit of humour grafted on.

It's a fact of comedy writing that the tighter the brief, the better the result. Plucking comedy out of the air is what leads to cliches and well-worn themes. But knowing that you have to stick to the facts of what the Celts wore, or how the Tudors treated illness, concentrates the mind. It leads you into strange areas that you would never have thought of, and that's always creatively a good thing. One underestimated element of the show is the sheer fun of all the costumes, wigs, silly beards and hats.

Wigs, in my book, are funny, and so are hats. TV budgets have shrunk since the days of Blackadder and Python. My children have lived in a world where TV comedy mostly consists of people sitting behind desks on panel shows. There is a glorious, back-to-thes daftness about Horrible Histories' parade of togas, wimples, ruffs and tights that makes it appealing — to a wide audience. People tend to go on about Horrible Histories being "not just a kid's show, but a proper comedy show" but actually I don't see the dichotomy there.

It's partly to do with the fact that kids are more sophisticated, especially linguistically, then they used to be, so to do a show that is clever and funny and uses arcane references but can play to adults and children is more possible now. It's very modern in style — single camera, throwaway delivery etc - and it uses history brilliantly: they had a sketch once about how Henry VIII only found out about Catherine Howard's adultery from his jester, since everyone else was too frightened to tell him, which was both poignant and funny — and, of course, told me something I didn't know about the Tudors.

When they asked me to play Vincenzo Larfoff the reader of Scary Stories, which regularly turn out not to be that scary I was really pleased, and he seems to have been a hit — I get kids shouting "scaaarry story" at me.
