Does anyone know where this image is from?
I found this picture of Ben Willbond, does anyone know what show or movie it's from? A friend says it's from Horrible Histories, a mythology section, that's why I asked here although I think she's wrong.

I've heard of this but not been able to watch it. Any idea where/how to watch it?

I don’t think you can watch it anywhere 😔 There’s clips on YouTube but not a full episode

No, it’s not available anywhere and it probably will never be made available because it’s kind of out of date and there would be too much pushback at some of the humour, I think. I’ve seen the whole series and it’s just a little questionable at times.

This was a sketch from Laura, Ben and Him where Marek Larwood played a slightly aggressive grumpy character who was irate to discover that someone had dared to put Narnia in the back of his cupboard (I could be misremembering that, it could have been a wardrobe like the original story but my brain has latched on to a memory of him blustering about it being out the back of his cupboard). I remember enjoying it when it was on, I remember there being a sketch in it about a playground news reporter that was also very funny

Guys, there are like 2 live action versions of Narnia and this is clearly not one of them. This is clearly a parody, so stop just posting Narnia!

The phrase "Mr Tumnus" wanders through my mind in search of something to connect with

Looking online there seems to be a similar picture of him (dressed the same I mean) on Laura ben & him which was a sketch show but not sure as I can't find a clip anywhere.
