Yes, but we’re moving backwards. People are working multiple jobs to try to survive; people are afraid to heat their homes because of the cost of fuel and many others are finding it hard to eat because of high inflation!
I've got to say the bosses and Ruth are really putting in work because I could not have the strength to yell at someone who doesnt deserve it about how they arent doing something right
That's how strict they were in the Victorian era. They would have been yelled at or outright sacked if they didn't get it right after being told or shown twice. This was a time where people were expected to get it right the first time.
i read somewhere that a lot of elderly ladies back then would live on stoops and they would watch the babies of the younger ladies and at the end of the day as payment the younger ladies would bring them something like a cup of tea and a piece of bread and that's what they had to eat for the whole day while they just lived on a porch in the cold.
The unfair conditions shift from UK/Europe to Asia (China, Bangladesh, Taiwan), Morocco... There nowadays had a lot of lung issues and cancer because textile mills pollution, but Europeans seems to be blind to the cruel reality. No jobs here, and bad jobs there.
Replacing broken equipment could have cost Tyger anywhere from A WEEK TO A MONTH'S wages! And those broken cups would have possibly cost Zoe and Alister the same
I loved this show but why can't Anne work and stop being a pain I mean what did they all expect this isn't about posh hotel's etc this was Victorian time's
@@Latina4Life As it was pointed out at the end of the second episode, Ann represented those who rebelled against the system and spoke out. They paid a price for it. Without Ann, you would not have seen what would have happened to such people. Her role in the show was essential.
If the meals the actors had were just an example, no big deal. It did seem however, that variety was not the norm. If the workers of the time really ate like this every day, scurvy was not far over the horizon.
Not at all! It would be much duller without Ann. Ann showed what happened to people who rebelled against the system. Also, who would have founded the Labour movement?
Im surprised anne a conservative. Labourers still work with hard word for long hours with little pay and their benefits are capped and does not match their living costs. Yet she's fighting for labourers but conservative in modern day... i don't think much changed in work ethic and the pay values.
Its odd, i would like to try this but it would be a massive slap in the face compared to todays standards. Health and safety Hourly pay Suitable breaks Understandable flexible hours They pay little money in the victorian era because employers knew there was someone to replace you tomorrow
They could probably have replaced you the very same day...maybe even within the hour of you quitting/getting fired or injured. They'd have probably found some homeless person and asked if they wanted a job.
acting up because of the "grind up beetles" ..someone gonna tell her what's in her 21st century make-up or what schellack is made of or what karmin is? 😂
Imagine working for a month and your employer tells you they're "Not paying you this month." Even if they told you a minute or two later that, "it's a joke, and you're getting paid," that whole time would be filled dread. No money, no rent and no food, no rent means no home and no food means starvation. Even if the situation isn't real, everything else is. They can feel the hunger.
It really makes you appreciate how far we've come.

All hail king Charles III EH? 💀💀💀
Rejoice food banks and poverty periods
For some
@@harvestcanadanothing to do with the King, his position is largely ceremonial now. All to do with the UK economy and government
Makes me appreciate my life. Can’t wait to see the next episodes.
I wish this had a 2nd series
Yep but in a another era

Ann's face when he said she was too old. 🤭
I'm watching this from across the pond! Pennsylvania, USA 🥰
Me, too! 😆
Me three! Michigan here!
Same, i'm in LA lol
Muscle Shoals , Alabama!!!
🇬🇧 Here, but I'd like to have seen what the states was like in the same period. Especially the California gold rush.
this is just what the doctor ordered to watch (:
I so happy for all episodes
Thank you

On one hand, this was gruesome labor. On the other hand, we've lost all of those pottery jobs and the production of all those goods.
The unfair conditions shift from UK/Europe to Asia (China, Bangladesh, Taiwan), Morocco... There nowadays had a lot of lung issues and cancer because textile mills pollution, but Europeans seems to be blind to the cruel reality. No jobs here, and bad jobs there.
Anna's mantra...I can't, I won't !
31:30. Brilliance...
Great idea how to make the documentary. Really like the concept.❤
Amazing reenacments work♥
It beats the great pottery throw down hands down..!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙌
Nooo! I love that lol.
Ruth the best, where's Pete n Alex
I looooove this series!!

I want to see the Holland Brothers and their friends do this 😂

Exactly, her opposing stance with everything was not going to bring the 21st century to the 19th century. They didnt know any different.

Ann was okay in the first episode, I think the producers told her to start acting up to make the show more entertaining
I think she was using 21st century entitlement!
I think a conservative, always tries to look out after number one, rather than the welfare of the whole. She was just being herself.
55:53 Victorian or Roman, or Sunak era nobody can work without basic training and experience of learning process!
The lady who presenta this looks like shes came straight from the Victorian era .
Ruth Goodman does work in museums giving talks. She has also appeared in different tv shows such as Victorian and Edwardian Farm.
In a way, she does ☺️
As much as people say Anne is an entitled politician, without people like her, these kinds of movements never would have happened.
How did they brought back this reality back to life? 😳 Some one explain please?
If the meals the actors had were just an example, no big deal. It did seem however, that variety was not the norm. If the workers of the time really ate like this every day, scurvy was not far over the horizon.
I really don't know why Anne bothered (half arsed at that) to do this show.
She actually ruins it.
Not at all! It would be much duller without Ann. Ann showed what happened to people who rebelled against the system. Also, who would have founded the Labour movement?
@@ukchristian28 Ann's my favourite.
Cry
@@adailydaughter6196 Mine too!
Nah way. She is so funny.. 😂

That's probably because she doesn't know that people still work like that. Many conservatives don't
Its funny that you still think labour does anything for British workers and not their champagne socialist friends and terrorists in the middle east
But there would be more work today if we still had these industries
Its odd, i would like to try this but it would be a massive slap in the face compared to todays standards.
Health and safety

I would sign up to live like this for free
I'm confused about Tiger's face. It gets fat and puffy one episode and normal then next. Weird!!
Well he's just swollen... depends on his sleeping pattern and what he drinks and eats
It's called tiredness
acting up because of the "grind up beetles" ..someone gonna tell her what's in her 21st century make-up or what schellack is made of or what karmin is? 😂
TORSCK
WHAT
Why are they crying because they didn't get paid 😭 it's not real
If they don’t get paid, they can’t eat and essentially starve for the day.
@@sharonokuku933 indeed. And they are REALLY living it. Really getting into it.
It probably felt real at the time!
