Synopsis :

History Alive! is a brand new TV show where host Gurmit Singh and his weekly co-hosts bring us to the sights, sounds, foods and landmarks of the past which are still making an impact today. History alive in the present. Gurmit and his co-hosts not only make History come alive, but fun and funny as well with sketches and skits that will surely make you remember History. In this very first episode of the series, Gurmit Singh and George Young explore the origins of our famous Merlion, Vanda Miss Joaquim and other icons. Who are the pioneers of chicken farms in Singapore? Which international star owns The Jinrickshaw Station? And through skits, Gurmit and George show you an alternative answer to the questions, why did the chicken cross the road? And how was the Merlion designed?
