I have vague but fond memories of watching this old VHS tape which I no longer have. I remember two nursery rhymes specifically - Simple Simon and Old King Cole. It was definitely live action. I remember the guy who played Simple Simon had slightly long dark brown hair and was an adult.
The VHS tape cover may have been predominantly white with a photo of a bunch of cast members on it.
I know it’s not a lot to go on but I would love to figure out what this was!
(Edited to add more detail!)
So i started an Iron man run as Haraldr of vestfold in the earlier start date, I managed to create both denmark and norway and subjigated the king of sweden, setting up a very nice starting position for myself where it looked very likely i could make the kingdom of the north sea:

My charecter drank himself to death in the end and his son took over:

he was the perfect and only heir to the thrones of the three kingdoms i had conquered, his goal in life was to vasilize any counties and dutchies dejure to my kingdoms that wernt in my control, before invading the kingdom of england and living out the rest of his life peacefully until he created the kingdom of the northern Sea.
Sounds fun and quaint doesnt it? well RNG had a different idea to how his story would go. one downside to him was he didnt have that much prestige, however i noticed that he did have a couple of rivals i could chalenge in a fight to the death which would inturn get me my much needed prestige.
I challenge this guy:

he has half my prowess, an easy target, this fight would be over quick and easy, or so i thought.
when the time to fight came round my charecter owned him, i picked all the right choices and then i saw the option to deliver a speach whilst he was down, berating the charecter. I obviously had never learned the lesson from Oberyns Death in GOT. Einarr AKA the mountain nocked my perfect heir off his feat and killed me.
My Heir, who i will now refer to as oberyn to save confusion has two sons, the eldest:

who unfortunately isnt very special, and the youngest:

who is the more ideal candidate for continuing this campaign. now the eldests heir is the younger brother, i thought sweet, i just have to put the eldest in dangerous situations and hope somone or something takes him out.
low and behold, maybe a year later one of my vassals

This tv show where each episode they face-off two groups of people from different eras to see who would win. They discuss the different types of weapons each group used, then at the end of the episode is a type of re-enactment where you see who would win if they were to go head to head. I distinctly remember one that had I believe the KGB, and an exploding cigar. I think there was one that had a group of Native Americans versus maybe Mongolians? I want to say it was on the discovery channel but not positive about that.
The opening part is pretty good.

Another good re-enactment later on in the episode:
Let me preface this by saying I do not support any of these things: Nazism The Confederacy Any racist/facist/communist regime Any genocidal atrocity Homophobia
I am actually a liberal by political alignment, now onto the topic.
I would like to debate on the specifics of war re-enactments and the morality of parts of it. This also applies for things like historical themed airsoft battles and other related things
Here are the main points:
- Should re-enactments depicting highly controversial or horrific events/countries be allowed?
- Should it be frowned upon for someone to say, play as a Nazi officer in a reenactment?
- If so why is it appropriate for people to dress up as Nazis in comedic or movie situations?
- How do you distinguish between people who use reenactments to live out their sick fantasies and people who use it to participate in history as a hobby
- If you aren't actually the thing you are acting as, why is it wrong? (Assuming you don't go too far with it and harrass people)
- Why is it any different than acting in a movie?
Here are just some guiding points. All opinions matter.
The Vow is a very good docuseries, but do any of the re-enactments bother people? I’m specifically thinking of Mark & Bonnie, and more of just Bonnie alone. They film scenes of Bonnie alone on the roof, in the desert, or on a plane. Scenes of her crying with Mark. Taking a hike to talk things out. Sarah also has some scenes like this.
I know every docuseries has to figure out ways to tell the narrative without just a bunch of talking heads constantly. This seems way amped up.
