Fucking hell, a song about the fact there were some darker skinned people in ancient and slightly more modern British history being sung by one of the slightly more regular HH cast who is black being something to bitch about compared to various gay, straight, north African, Asian, native American and Mediterranean roles with various dress and accents bring portrayed by the same slightly swarthier actor is fucking daft. Neither is a fucking issue as they're acting and portraying a role, maybe there's an actor out there that would more accurately portray someone from 5000 years ago in Britain, maybe they could've got someone of Egyptian decent to dress up as an Egyptian or Peruvian to sing a song about sacrificing humans and drinking fermented llama saliva, but they're a smallish bunch of mostly British comedians who do a pretty good, mostly accurate and very entertaining, educational comedy that gets people, mostly kids into history. Stop shitting bricks and chill out, yes there's been darker skinned people in Britain for pretty much ever, having an even darker skinned/eyed person might not portray that 100% accurately, but neither will anyone else on the cast and it's fucking acting for fucks sake.
