Betty is reading a story out loud to the other Squirrels that is set 'a long, long time ago'. The Squirrels wonder how long ago that is. The narrator explains that it's everything that's ever happened — and it's called history. The Squirrels are excited to learn about it, and luckily Duggee has his History Badge — and a home-made time machine — to give them a very interactive lesson all about it! The Squirrels go on a whistle-stop tour through time and encounter all manner of characters, from naughty prehistoric monkeys to pirates of the high seas, from Isaac Newton to Shakespeare, with everyone becoming inspired as they go. History is FUN — but eventually it's time to go home and collect their History Badges. Well done Squirrels!
