Dr Lipscomb is wonderful. She's so charming and she brings the emotion out in her presentation. She has such a pleasant relaxing voice too. Also her hair is so beautiful. I wish she would do a historical AMSR.
I wish I had access to history videos like this in the 70s at school. All we ever did was Normans, Saxons, Vikings and Romans, almost every year. Did a bit about WW1 & 2 but not much but was in 4th year. And the presentation of them made them boring. I love watching these documentaries in my older years, can't get enough. 👍👍👍
Mandy, you go girl 👍. While you're waiting to come out of lockdown, get as much knowledge crammed in as you can. Knowledge is fun ....... Knowledge is power.

It wasn't until 1630, 27 years after the Tudor period ended, that lemonade began making headway in northern Europe, in Paris. It's the invention of carbonated lemonade in 1833, almost 200 years later, that became a mainstay in the UK.
Rockin BoBokkin some folks mix up sugar and artificial corn sweeteners. The latter is kinda toxic particularly the no sugar ones as the body can’t tell artificial from real sugar. Real sugar is not a problem but you’re right too much of anything is bad. I do believe the artificial junk is a much bigger problem.
Rockin BoBokkin Choices? Yeah, we’re essentially given the choice between different kind of poisons by the “food” industry. It’s like a prisoner being given the choice between death by firing squad or beheading.
Dr Suzannah Lipscomb is so passionate about history that it's infectious. She is also a dazzling combination of beauty and intelligence which is so darn mesmerizing. Absolutely love her docs!
Not to mention she is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous! I don't mean that in a derogatory way at all... This woman blows my mind! God, if I was her father I would be so proud!
@@jakelance6 Finally! some non perverted respectable comment about her. I kept seeing people commenting about her voice and features in a very perverted way. I'm proud of you.
Ej Edwards Yes your quite right! That's why I've listened to about 3/4 of it. I originally thought she was the blonde woman who talks with an ever so slight pronunciation "impediment" which makes her sound sooooo sexy! Not this lady though but she's rather gorgeous all the same.
I'm a huge fan of SL, her passion and drive whilst chasing history is a joy to watch, especially when she reads from books held by previous Royals and experiences wearing past fashion trends though not the corset, thought she'd faint! Thank you for making history so exciting. My brother drowned so this was difficult for me to watch, at least he didn't suffer thank goodness.
Fifty people have read and liked this comment yet not one has asked you about your brother's drowning? Wtf? Am I missing something? Hope you're doing better. Your brother is in a better place. Or he isn't. I dunno . I'm sorry for your loss but.
She has some beautiful ringlets! And this woman has a very soothing and factual voice! I could watch her talk about the stupid ways people died all day long!
I've been eating and drinking sweets lately and before i clicked to watch i had just opened a bar of tasty chocolate. Thought this was another documentary about serial killers. Now after hearing about the sugar teeth related deaths, i now believe that it was destiny that brought me here. A warning sign lol
You can also see the skull changes. The earlier skull is wider, where as the later jaw is narrower this follows the theory of Weston A. Price. Nutrition effects bone structure.
It's actually because food became less tough and easier to chew, and our jaws no longer needed to be as strong to chew up food. It's why so many have crowded teeth.
Dr. Lipscomb, this series is fascinating and you are an elegant and engaging host. Intimate glimpses of historical life are often overlooked. Please make many more episodes!
As far as how painful decaying teeth are; VERY. I had the misfortune on being born into a family with severely bad genetics, and teeth are, unfortunately, affected in my family. Most of my maternal side have had their teeth removed by their mid-30s, and I had mine out by 29. Having children can also cause teeth to decay, since they require a lot of calcium. Teeth are basically a giant deposit of calcium, and enamel on teeth with slowly deteriorate while your pregnant if you don't consume or produce enough calcium. My enamel was gone by the time I was 21 and pregnant with my 2nd child, so my teeth were already destroyed when that pregnancy took more calcium from my teeth, making them break down and apart. A broken tooth will allow for infection to set in quickly, with a direct access to the root of the tooth, causing severe pain. Abscesses happen more quickly, which can be dangerous, since the infection to can get into your bloodstream and spread throughout your body, affecting multiple parts, and if it reaches a vital organ, like your brain, it can be deadly. So, for a hint of advice from someone who suffered greatly due to horrible genetics and circumstances that lead to full dental removal: TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAMN TEETH.
Keep your overall internal acidity levels,,stable including saliva. Vomit will not only breakdown your esophagus' tissue but also the oral cavities (the entire parts of mouth). As for cleaning mouth after eating and/or snacking, instead of using floss (as the gums are sensitive ingeneral and w/ a relatively healthy diet excluding products that harm rather than hekp stabilize acidity levels overall), i rinse & gargle, my mouth out w/ clean water. I also do not swallow (most of the time), my accumulating saliva. My saliva needs to be close to the same density as water as sodium/salt and sugars ingeneral, will hekp create a 'gelatinous' affect internally. Dilluting my saliva and disposing of it until it's relatively close to the same density as water, then i may swallow saliva (i actually do not swallow accumulating saliva most of the time until it's past the 'foamy' stage

The drowning section is brilliant. Clearly the reduction of death by drowning over or after the Tudor Period is one of the great inventions in human history. Dr Libscomb's demonstration fits what I know about drowning. She only left out one factor - alcohol. (About 30 years ago the parks of Los Angeles County where there are some lakes, banned alcohol. Water emergencies in one year went from (I think I remember) 47 to zero.
Love the documentaries with the Doctor. So pleasant, and charming I already love learning about history but hearing and seeing it from her is like a history lesson from an angel.
This video was chock full of helpful information. It's comforting to know that promiscuity was just as rampant in the Tudor era as it is now. The bricks in the chimneys of the Tudor era breaking due to the high heat of burning wood might explain why my mother's Day Road house chimney broke. Perhaps the man that built our chimney used the wrong kind of bricks. All the deaths by drowning help explain why so many people are afraid of the water. I've always been interested in herb gardens and old wives tale cures for illnesses. I love the section on the herb garden. Housekeeping and wifery is serious business. I can't help thinking prayer to God must work. The Tudor era was so dangerous it's a miracle more people didn't die. Thanks again for making this video.
Funny how there are brick chimneys still in England that are several hundred years old- much much older than America, and they are still removing the smoke from wood and coal to this day- mostly because they were lined with lime mortar, as I discovered with my own house they built the chimneys of the house first and built the rest of the house round them, for how else could they have been lined with mortar?
I wish there were more of these docs. After watching the Killers of the (Tudor, Edwardian, Victorian, Post War) Home countless dozens of times, I've come to see "Dr. Crusher", "Ye Olde House", "Helena Bonham Coroner" (Not seen in this doc, but if you've seen the others in the series, you know who I mean), and "Dr. Suzannah 'Corset-Drowning Victim' Lipscomb" as an extended morbid British family. I miss you all, and I still look for more content with contributions from any of these lovely people! ❤
sugar is 100 times more addictive and the sugar economy is 10 times as massive as cocaine. just think what would happen if the world made sugar illegal
I have a tooth abscess and have had to do a little d.i.y. home surgery to relieve the intense pain which involved lidocaine and a sterilised scalpel blade. It did help but I don't recommend the way I relieved pain. I'm going to a dentist which is always the way to go.
I like the re-worked version of how 'Elizabeth Bennett' Lived in Pride and Prejudice! Don't think the movie would've had the same impact had she died collecting wort leaves, breaking a fence and drowning in the moat, never having met Mr Darcy. 28:28
I’m THAT person that is constantly interrupting to point out inaccuracies like an ahole…it’s like a tic, almost. But I still liked Reign, though it’s almost all fantasy. If you really want something more accurate even The Tudors was closer, but Reign isn’t. Not knocking it, though, still a fun show and I don’t think they’re really trying to make anyone think they’re being realistic.
"Death from crushed testicles from playing a game at Christmas time!?" I am 52 years old and have never heard those words spoken before. I understand that the protective cup and jock strap hadn't been invented yet but the real question is "What games were they playing?"
Speaking on the chimneys, Im an HVAC technician, and the modern building codes in my area require an air-circulation unit like an energy-recover ventilator. The air inside modern homes is actually cleaner than the air breathed outside, provided you clean the filters.
This must vary by location or something, I watched for 20 minutes straight with no ads. And with good content like this, I don't mind a few. Most of TH-cam is less educational with far more ads.
I remember going to fairs and fêtes as a small child, and enjoying "full-English" breakfasts made of sweets. Eggs, bacon, baked beans, and toast, shiny and perfect on a paper plate. I'd completely forgotten about it until now. I have a mouthful of fillings to show for it, but the happy memories of holidays in Northern England and Wales make it worthwhile. 😊 🍬 🍭
We stayed in a Tudor home outside Bath when I was 14 (we're Australian). I couldn't sleep. It absolutely creeped me out at night. You could feel that too much had happened in that home over the centuries 😳
Who else loves her??? I love the way she knows her stuff. Always listen to these while I'm at work. Tudor history has always fascinated me. Love learning new things about it
Well, the increase of dentition problems in the 16th century CAN be true, but based on my experience with a forensic anthropology course on a population from a Dutch13th century monastery - a lot of the skulls had caries, inflammations, periodontitis. We proposed they had eaten sweet fruits like figs. Also, as archaeologists we also see an increase of (dental) illness with the onset of agriculture, i.e. moving from hunter gathering to sedentary life, so 5000-3000 BC depending where you are.
A few years ago a Finnish author who writes historical novels set in medieval times was asked in what time period she would like to live in. She replied without hesitation "Today"! Then she was asked "Why? Would in not be nice living in the age of fair maidens and handsome lords of the castle?". "No", she said and went on. "I have only to think of such trivial health problems as toothache and appendicitis. In the age of the fair maidens and handsome lords of the castle people died because of them"!
Dr. Suzanne is Beautiful, ment with total respect. Love her videos, very informative. Who would have thought so many things in the home could harm or even kill you.
This is why I love history. It's just damned fascinating. It really gives me a chuckle when you have people who think like with the ancient Egyptians they were so advanced and no way that hand tools could do this or that. For Pete's sake, we're looking at some of the first recorded and recognized building codes here. So to think that people in the past had more than what they did just cracks me up. I do, however, think that they were far more clever, intelligent, and witty than we give credit for.
Me upon seeing video in suggestions: "I think I'll just watch the bit about Tudor dentistry.." Me upon seeing Dr Suzannah: "Actually, I think I'll stick around."
Ok. I went googling some of the diseases @11:47 Weve got: Chrisomes - a baby that dies shortly after birth "Kingsevil" - which is some form of swollen lymph nodes Quinsie - severe tonsillitis that spreads the infection into the body Rising of the lights - lung issues Scowering - diarrhea eg dysentary Stranguary - unable to pee Tiffick - a cough from tuberculosis
I always have to shake my head when all these historical show talk about tooth decay and how painful it must have been. The poor in the US and in the Third World still suffer and die from bad teeth
I think it’s more a matter of thinking how awful it must have been to be powerless to stop it. Anyone today can just stop eating sugar. Back then, they just didn’t have that knowledge.
thatamerican550 Not everyone qualifies for for government aid. Even if someone has coverage that doesn’t mean they can afford the copays. A man just died in 2016 from heart disease caused by his bad teeth. Smh
Montae Williams ah well, yes, I work with a lot of “poor” people with bad teeth. The majority have expensive cellphones, nice jewelry, long fake nails and hairstyles that require a few hundred dollars a month upkeep, etc etc....so, I believe in many cases, it’s about priorities. There have also been many stages in my life when I had no dental insurance, and chose to spend my money on anything but dental care. Now that I do have dental insurance, it’s not so great. $1000 a year. That doesn’t go far if you need any serious work.
Surprised they didn't make little, domestic-sized wheeled carts for hauling water, washing, etc. Or if that's too posh, perhaps a sled of some sort instead. Slap a lid on the water pail and bumps shouldn't be a problem. They seemed to have preferred working harder to working smarter.
This only works if you have a road though. Of you must go from your front door all the way to a river on what is likely a very muddy dirt path, a wagon wouldn't have worked at all. Certainly in some circumstances it may have worked, but for the most part there simple wouldn't have been a path sturdy enough to run small wheels on. A sled would be too heavy with water on it and friction simply would not have allowed it to move very efficiently at all. This of course brings the idea that you could perhaps use a horse-drawn cart with much larger wheels. However, most middle class families would have only one horse or two oxen(in the case of a small farming family in order to pull the plow and make short journeys on in the city you may not have had either) and likely not a cart more sophisticated than a flat ox-cart as those were incredibly expensive were you to buy one and incredibly time consuming (In the 1600s making a wheel was very difficult as it involved treating the wood to the point that it is pliable enough to make circular) if you were to build one. It would have taken time that the farmer did not have. TLDR; Basically, it is not as easy as it may seem to us now. Heavy water, fragile wheels on heavy carts, the surprising expense of horses, the poor roads and paths. Things improved quite a bit even just 100 years later in the 1700s when things such as wheels became easier to get, but in the case of the 1600s which is the focus of this documentary, even a hand-pulled cart was a bit of a luxury.

After watching the Killers of the (Tudor, Edwardian, Victorian, Post War) Home countless dozens of times, I've come to see "Dr. Crusher", "Ye Olde House", "Helena Bonham Coroner" (Not seen in this doc, but if you've seen the others in the series, you know who I mean), and "Dr. Suzannah 'Corset-Drowning Victim' Lipscomb" as an extended morbid British family. I miss you all, and I still look for more content with contributions from any of these lovely people! ❤
4:40 'that it would become known as white gold...oh not tobacco.. Cocaine'
sugar is 100 times more addictive and the sugar economy is 10 times as massive as cocaine. just think what would happen if the world made sugar illegal
As if we all thought tobacco was white lol! Whoever made this doc is dumb af
shes smoking a pipe as she says it you idiot
I saw this comment before watching and am now incredibly dissapointed
😂😂😂
watching this with a current abscessed tooth made me shiver. one is horrible but how could you go about your day with several?
I agree, I'm so glad that sucker got pulled, antibiotic and it was over
Can you get it fixed or no?
@@alysononoahu8702 I got mine pulled a few days after posting this!! such a relief!
They took opium and heroine and such as “tonic” that we don’t do it makes alittle bit of sense
I have a tooth abscess and have had to do a little d.i.y. home surgery to relieve the intense pain which involved lidocaine and a sterilised scalpel blade. It did help but I don't recommend the way I relieved pain. I'm going to a dentist which is always the way to go.
I like the re-worked version of how 'Elizabeth Bennett' Lived in Pride and Prejudice! Don't think the movie would've had the same impact had she died collecting wort leaves, breaking a fence and drowning in the moat, never having met Mr Darcy. 28:28
I think I’ve just found my new binge watch
Needs more commercials.
Yes I only seen one...
Now there's to many!
There were only commercials every 2 minutes I feel it was lacking tbh. One commercial a minute or what’s the point?
loo
lol
Teeth are most definitely a cause of death. My oldest sister died from septicemia from an abscessed tooth.
Saz Fretz happens to animals too, which is why it’s important to get dental care for your pets.
I'm so sorry for your loss
@therealnightwriter whaaaaaaaaaat?
Abscessed teeth are agonizingly painful. Did she wait before getting it looked at or was the infection too swift? Scary.
😯 so sorry to hear that!
Look...its Claudia from "interview with a vampire"! ...All grown up!
mxferro thank you I was looking for this comment. LoL! I thought I was the only one thinking that
I am a simple man, I see Dr Suzannah Lipscomb and I upvote
Suzannah is a wonderfully informed, articulate presenter. I could also watch her read the phone book.
I LOVE when these videos talk about the use of herbs and other plants. It's so fascinating, especially when they explain how they worked in the body.
Thank you for uploading these episodes. I’m from the USA and I am so fascinated with the history of royals. I just finished watching Reign 😊
Reign? I watched that up to half way through the second episode before the complete historical inaccuracies made it impossible to watch any further 😅
I’m THAT person that is constantly interrupting to point out inaccuracies like an ahole…it’s like a tic, almost. But I still liked Reign, though it’s almost all fantasy.
If you really want something more accurate even The Tudors was closer, but Reign isn’t. Not knocking it, though, still a fun show and I don’t think they’re really trying to make anyone think they’re being realistic.
"Death from crushed testicles from playing a game at Christmas time!?" I am 52 years old and have never heard those words spoken before. I understand that the protective cup and jock strap hadn't been invented yet but the real question is "What games were they playing?"
Steve Jablonski Various sports, mostly, including jousting and archery. And people would get VERY drunk, which increased the chance of serious injury.
Perhaps ball in a cup? 😂
Sac race
Drunk roughhousing could easily end in crushed testicles
musical hairs :)
"death due to an escaped bear" Now that may have been an actual cause, bears do tend to kill people.
Quite true
Speaking on the chimneys, Im an HVAC technician, and the modern building codes in my area require an air-circulation unit like an energy-recover ventilator.
The air inside modern homes is actually cleaner than the air breathed outside, provided you clean the filters.
Omg Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb is absolutely my favorite historian ! ❤❤❤
Fantastic documentary and a fantastic narrator.
I always knew that there had to be daily problems in early daily life. This documentary was very revealing to me about the time.
So of it is played up for dramatic effect.
A commercial what, every 3-5 minutes? C'mon, a little excessive isn't it?
Watch on a Chromecast to ur tv and u get 0 ads while watching
It has to be paid for in some way. It’s not everybody else’s fault that you’re too cheap to get TH-cam Red.
I didn't say there should be NO ads. But every 3 minutes?
This must vary by location or something, I watched for 20 minutes straight with no ads. And with good content like this, I don't mind a few. Most of TH-cam is less educational with far more ads.
Hmm, interesting. Must be regional then who knows. I have no problem with some ads, like you say. It's the every 3-5 minutes over an hour show.
I remember going to fairs and fêtes as a small child, and enjoying "full-English" breakfasts made of sweets. Eggs, bacon, baked beans, and toast, shiny and perfect on a paper plate.
I'd completely forgotten about it until now. I have a mouthful of fillings to show for it, but the happy memories of holidays in Northern England and Wales make it worthwhile. 😊 🍬 🍭
“And thus the Tudors unleashed the plague of DIABEETUS upon this world.”
yes... dip your pretty parts in warm chicken's blood.. top shelf cures
Lol
Ester LaBlanc - Thanks for the giggle, but it's actually 'privy' (as in private) parts. XD
Absolutely top narrator, really nails every episode..as good as Tony Robinson and historical series,
the curly hair suits her so well!
@bobbybigboyyes I sincerely doubt that, at least I’d like to imagine the drapes don’t have a rug to match up with.
I could listen to Dr. Suzanna talk all day!
Excellent series !!!!! Loved watching them all when it originally aired on TV
In Leiden in the Netherlands we have this great museum full of old medical tools. Fascinating and horrible at the same time.
Let's face it. We are all here for Dr Suzannah. The history stuff is just a bonus.
No.. some of us are about to think with our brains and not our genitals.
Very informative program. Enjoyed it immensely.
We stayed in a Tudor home outside Bath when I was 14 (we're Australian). I couldn't sleep. It absolutely creeped me out at night. You could feel that too much had happened in that home over the centuries 😳
Who else loves her??? I love the way she knows her stuff. Always listen to these while I'm at work. Tudor history has always fascinated me. Love learning new things about it
My dear! A thousand years after the Romans and many thousands behind them.
Well, the increase of dentition problems in the 16th century CAN be true, but based on my experience with a forensic anthropology course on a population from a Dutch13th century monastery - a lot of the skulls had caries, inflammations, periodontitis. We proposed they had eaten sweet fruits like figs. Also, as archaeologists we also see an increase of (dental) illness with the onset of agriculture, i.e. moving from hunter gathering to sedentary life, so 5000-3000 BC depending where you are.
This channel is fascinating.
Bravo Dr Lipscomb , great documentary, and delivery.
Thanks again,Wonka luv.
I love these sorts of videos. I love this historical period. I’ve read and reviewed many books about this period on my channel...
I'm addicted to her documentaries and need more!!! :D
A few years ago a Finnish author who writes historical novels set in medieval times was asked in what time period she would like to live in. She replied without hesitation "Today"! Then she was asked "Why? Would in not be nice living in the age of fair maidens and handsome lords of the castle?". "No", she said and went on. "I have only to think of such trivial health problems as toothache and appendicitis. In the age of the fair maidens and handsome lords of the castle people died because of them"!
Dr. Suzanne is Beautiful, ment with total respect. Love her videos, very informative. Who would have thought so many things in the home could harm or even kill you.
This is why I love history. It's just damned fascinating. It really gives me a chuckle when you have people who think like with the ancient Egyptians they were so advanced and no way that hand tools could do this or that. For Pete's sake, we're looking at some of the first recorded and recognized building codes here. So to think that people in the past had more than what they did just cracks me up. I do, however, think that they were far more clever, intelligent, and witty than we give credit for.
Thanks!
I love this series and her voice is so sootheing
love the host, ive seen her in a few different documentaries on this subject/time period. she is so passionate, not to mention very pretty
Ahhhhh....the good ole days.
Nostalgia time.
Can you imagine living in a time where even the simplest luxuries, like sugar, could lead to a lifetime of pain?
This interesting video was written and introduced by Doctor Suzannah Lipscomb and this was part of a series that appeared on the BBC in the UK.
Love her documentaries! Binged all her Tudor ones!
I have a sweet tooth and that beginning part got me terrified
Ditto
Me upon seeing video in suggestions: "I think I'll just watch the bit about Tudor dentistry.."
Me upon seeing Dr Suzannah: "Actually, I think I'll stick around."
I watched this documentary too many times to count only because her voice is so soothing. Oh yeah the history is fascinating as well.......
Ok. I went googling some of the diseases @11:47
Weve got:
Chrisomes - a baby that dies shortly after birth
"Kingsevil" - which is some form of swollen lymph nodes
Quinsie - severe tonsillitis that spreads the infection into the body
Rising of the lights - lung issues
Scowering - diarrhea eg dysentary
Stranguary - unable to pee
Tiffick - a cough from tuberculosis
I absolutely love this series!
same
same here lol especially this episode because I love Tudor architecture
I love Sims 4
Your documentaries are excellent. :)
I always have to shake my head when all these historical show talk about tooth decay and how painful it must have been. The poor in the US and in the Third World still suffer and die from bad teeth
I think it’s more a matter of thinking how awful it must have been to be powerless to stop it. Anyone today can just stop eating sugar. Back then, they just didn’t have that knowledge.
moonvapors the poor in the US don't die from tooth decay? They get Medicaid, covering their dental care
thatamerican550 Not everyone qualifies for for government aid. Even if someone has coverage that doesn’t mean they can afford the copays. A man just died in 2016 from heart disease caused by his bad teeth. Smh
He was in/near where I live in California btw
Montae Williams ah well, yes, I work with a lot of “poor” people with bad teeth. The majority have expensive cellphones, nice jewelry, long fake nails and hairstyles that require a few hundred dollars a month upkeep, etc etc....so, I believe in many cases, it’s about priorities. There have also been many stages in my life when I had no dental insurance, and chose to spend my money on anything but dental care. Now that I do have dental insurance, it’s not so great. $1000 a year. That doesn’t go far if you need any serious work.
I'm in a class on Tudor history, and at one point we read death records. My partner and I then got obsessed with making a feasible flotation device :)
Surprised they didn't make little, domestic-sized wheeled carts for hauling water, washing, etc. Or if that's too posh, perhaps a sled of some sort instead. Slap a lid on the water pail and bumps shouldn't be a problem. They seemed to have preferred working harder to working smarter.
This only works if you have a road though. Of you must go from your front door all the way to a river on what is likely a very muddy dirt path, a wagon wouldn't have worked at all. Certainly in some circumstances it may have worked, but for the most part there simple wouldn't have been a path sturdy enough to run small wheels on. A sled would be too heavy with water on it and friction simply would not have allowed it to move very efficiently at all. This of course brings the idea that you could perhaps use a horse-drawn cart with much larger wheels. However, most middle class families would have only one horse or two oxen(in the case of a small farming family in order to pull the plow and make short journeys on in the city you may not have had either) and likely not a cart more sophisticated than a flat ox-cart as those were incredibly expensive were you to buy one and incredibly time consuming (In the 1600s making a wheel was very difficult as it involved treating the wood to the point that it is pliable enough to make circular) if you were to build one. It would have taken time that the farmer did not have.
TLDR; Basically, it is not as easy as it may seem to us now. Heavy water, fragile wheels on heavy carts, the surprising expense of horses, the poor roads and paths. Things improved quite a bit even just 100 years later in the 1700s when things such as wheels became easier to get, but in the case of the 1600s which is the focus of this documentary, even a hand-pulled cart was a bit of a luxury.
@@nono-fb8tr 16th century = 1500s.
they had wells nearby most of the time
"Death from crushed testicles from playing a game at Christmas time." Sounds like that game of nutcracker got out of hand! ;)
Don’t play games with an escaped bear around Christmas time! It might lead to death by crushed testicles 🤣
Her David Starkey and Lucy Worsley are my go to favorites
I don't know who David Starkey is but I love her and Lucy Worsley
28:45 Just imagine... all you set out to do is to use the restroom but you end up dying. It's kinda funny but at the same time frightening. You could just be going along your daily life and get caught up in an accident that could cost you your life....
Love this womans history.. The best historian on media.. Even better than our wonderful baldrik, Mr. Tony Robinson
i love theise docs but watch them because of Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb
