In the trailer, we get a fresh taste of the humour floating around this historical adventure.

"Who are these guys?" Nero asks as he points to a battle map, before one of his commanders dryly responds "Those are trees..."

"I knew that!" the emperor quickly promises.

For fans of the CBBC TV show, you'll be pleased to notice that Horrible Histories favourites including Sanjeev Bhaskar, Dave Lamb, Sarah Hadland, Jessica Ransom, Dominique Moore, Katy Wix, Tom Stourton and Richard David-Caine are all aboard.

So, let the sword-swinging and historical parodying commence.
