When people long for the 'good old days', imagining 'simpler times' they really don't know what they're talking about. Life was complicated and dangerous.
Tony Robinson is a national treasure. I'm pretty sure we all love him to bits.
As an American, can we just say that we global anglophiles love him?
It makes me sad to see him grow so old
I agree. He is wonderful 😊!
I am a Canadian citizen, and I love them too... I think he is really quite wonderful
I'm german and watch everything he's in. International love for Tony!
Humans are so funny lol. He sees like hundreds of human skeletons and is like making jokes and shit and then theres a dog skeleton and he's like "lets move on before I get all teary 😢"
Well, I understand, and I bet most dog owners do.
He’s British. Lots of them have more feelings for dogs and pets than for people. It’s been that case since at least Queen Victoria. 😉
Loved this. My 3x great grandfather was a London area pub owner in the Victorian era. Much to my delight I found a newspaper notice that he was fined for not pouring a full measure of alcohol!
It's dark in some of those old pubs
Great story 😂
My gpa almost got court marshaled for doing that while he was in the army! Major violation!
lol. Bottoms up.
@@Ditka-89lol was he serving an officer or something? I don't know the rules ^^
As an American I am fascinated by the history presented by Tony. He is a treasure for sure.
@tonismith: I bet he was a great Artful Dodger.
I love European history because I come from a relatively young country. I want to hear 500+ year old histories
@tonismith: Yep, he can repeat a script or read cue cards with the best of them. His bouts of spontaneous and hysteric excitement do wear thin over the course of a show, though.
I love him but sometimes his enthusiasm is a bit nerve wracking
One of the things I love about the UK is how they study, preserve and promote their history. I’ve seen so many English documentaries that I think I know more of their history than my own. I love how there are experts in every aspect of life for every time period. I even saw one about wall paper, of course with a wall paper expert. Much love to the UK from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
Isn't that what most educated societies do ??
Not just England
If America followed the UK's footsteps, that would be swell too.
@@kerrysmithmartonlifeno. Americans want to erase and/or whitewash their history
@@kerrysmithmartonlifeone would hope
not all are doing it in minute details like the Brits. I'm a historian and my Professor said the one thing that the Brits are great and expert about since the beginning of history is record keeping and writings...they wrote about almost everything and even the bad things that they did, that is why the Brits got loads of resources to study on their history, other civilization that is on par with the Brits on record keeping and writings are the Chinese, but other civilizations do wrote stuff but not as details as these 2 nations. Most civilization didn't wrote anything about mundane stuff like how people shit, what method they did to wash their bum or any simple stuff.@@kerrysmithmartonlife
If this documentary doesn't beat people over the head about the importance of labor regulations and unions idk what will.
Health and safety as well 😊
I don't mind watching this series for the 20th time, Tony Robinson is such a legend.
At 1:16:42. The countryside wasn't getting crowded. Throughout the 1700s British landlords were enclosing huge tracts of land owned communally by villages and towns. Then they pushed peasants off this land. Once rural folk lost access to communal resources like forests and grazing fields, their impoverished lot got even worse. So they were FORCED to go to the cities for employment due to these Enclosure Acts passed by Parliament, legalizing this enormous theft of communal lands by the powerful landlords.
Today the evil ones are desiring and plotting to do that again. They call itb"rewilding" and want to make it illegal for people to go into the wilderness.
My MIL met Queen Elizabeth early in her reign. She said that Queen Elizabeth was very beautiful, and that photos really didn't do her justice.
I've always wondered what life was like for the average person throughout all history. Ruth Goodman is a social historian who did a BBC TV series of fascinating and very illuminating programs in which she and fellow historians actually lived as if they were in various periods of English history-- for a YEAR at a time! I found the series here, on TH-cam, though I am not sure it is still available. The first year was called "Tales From The Green Valley," which is set in 1620. During this first season, they cannot live on the farm, but in subsequent years they do. While it does focus on country life rather than in the cities, it demonstrates and explains much of how people lived. I sometimes wish they would have done a comparable series about city life, too.
Have you ever read any of the historical books by Ian Mortimer? He's written several about English life in different eras. Where the term "Shit's Creek" came from is colorfully told in "The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England." Great stuff. 🙂
There's a great British series floating about on TH-cam called 1940's House where a family live just as they would have back then. Another one has a group moving from era to era working at an in, being kept in the workhouse etc. called 24 Hours In The Past. There is a documentary called Secrets from the Workhouse where british celebrities explore their ancestors past workhouse experiences. I found it touching as my family records show that my great grandfather was in the workhouse as a little boy in Suffolk England with his whole family.
Well, I can imagine how rough life in the country was, but at least it was country, hopefully less pestilence and disease, not that it guaranteed safety.
And at least you didn’t have to slog through human and animal waste and garbage on city streets. So maybe that’s why they demonstrated life in the country. It would be impossible to recreate a typical crowded, filthy city street and I don’t think any academics would live that way for a year. It would also include their living quarters; one room, one bed, maybe a table, for two adults, 6 to 10 children, ranging in age from infants to teens. No indoor running water, no bathroom. We’ve all read descriptions and seen illustrations. I think the difficulties of recreating the city life as well as finding people willing to live that way for longer than a day or two would be insurmountable. I wouldn’t do it. I’m going to look for the country one though. Thanks for telling us about it. ❤
I came across several of her programs about living in a historic era. (Victorian era. Edwardian era, WW2, and they made a 13th or 14th century French castle)
I learned a lot from seeing it through her prospective
I can definitely recommend Ruth Goodman's books - as well as those of Ian Mortimer. Fascinating
Let's face it ... The majority of our lives are nihilistic, monotonous, and grim... I wake up to pretty much work to eat and look forward to sleep and regret having to wake up just to repeat the process... I feel like I'm living that Groundhogs movie sometimes
I do love that old stonework. There's something about old stone houses
I can't believe Tony is still going and looks so great.
he was so cute with his long dark hair... way back when.
@@theCosmicQueen Yes. And still seems excited about his job. haha
When the day comes when the good lord calls tony home I will be absolutely heartbroken. We love you tony,
Oh no, he’s going down below where it’ll be a lot more fun. Who wants to sit around strumming luted and praising a ghost daddy instead of having a gay ol’ romp with some beer and codpieces with ye olde devil? That’s where I’m going. :D
WW-II ... my mother lived and worked in London all through the war. Her formal schooling ended when her school was bombed one night. So she then worked as a machinist fot the duration. Of course, that ended when the MEN came home and wanted their jobs back!
Her father served in the Royal Artillery in the First war. One of her brothers lived on Guernsey; his family house was a one end on the runway built ny the Luftwaffe. She got married in 1948, I arrived in 1949, followed in due course by my two brothers and my sister.
Interesting family history so glad you were told and shared with all of us here. Thanking your father for his service to your country and the sacrifices your family made. Thanks again for the share 😊
Was it the Sandhurst Road School? Or I am I thinking too much about all the buildings bombed in the blitz. I could be thinking of the Upper North Street School, but that was bombed in 1917
There is never a history show that doesn't point out the many ways Henry VIII was a sociopathic serial killer.
He was a very bad man
Really, really hard to avoid in any discussion of Henry, as it was pretty much his defining characteristic. Not for nothing was he known in Europe as "the English Nero." A pretty valid comparison; Nero was also notorious for being a paranoid psychopath who killed many people around him----and was, like Henry, a wife-killer. ( Of course, Nero also killed his mother, but as Henry's mother died when he was on,y 11, years before he became king, maybe he shouldn't lose the bonus points for this. After all, he did threaten to kill his own daughter, and doubtless would have done so if she had failed to capitulate to his demands. And, had his mother, an extremely pious woman, still been alive when he separated from Rome and had himself declared Supreme Head of the English Church, she would have certainly have refused to accept this. Her advanced age would have been no deterrrent to him; he had one elderly woman, a near relation----his mother's first cousin----to whom she had been close and he had known all his life, butchered horribly on the scaffold when she was nearly 70 years old. Pretty disgusting stuff, tthen and now. So dear old Mummy's head might well have gone off too. I sure wouldn't rule it out, given that he had decided that his will and God's were one and the same. The ultimate narcissism, justifying any kind and degree of cruelty to virtually anyone!)
God is the greatest narcissist in character and the bible sets a sadomasochistic way of life that christianity enforces thru churches with those kinky clergy. A whole dysfunctional social structure is patterned in the feudal absolute power of the mighty(godly in claim of word) and a world in submussion where might (and NOT verifiable knowledge) makes right. A violent attitude for all its masculinity still not overcome
You forgot Mass murder.
he should be put on trial post mortem.
watching this puts me in mind of what my grandma went through during the war.
she was just 18 when D Day happened
What a first class documentary on British History. What brave resilient people they were to build such a country and achieve so much on sweat and tears. Hopefully their history traditions and amazing buildings will forever be preserved and protected, most of all never forgotten .
I'm sure the blacks and the Asians who inherited the land, will cherish the history and culture.
I adore this lovely narrator. How I enjoy being educated about history by Mr. Robinson ! He keeps me smiling with his turn of phrases.
Next time people start whittering on about wishing they could live in the "good old days" they should watch this! Great show about the common people's lives in history!
The “good old days” were lovely.
Don't know about you. My disappointment with the present world makes me more wanting to live during the Boubonic plague.😂
I love studying history and the old times but because I do study it I am glad I do not live then!!!
@@shalevedna - Me, too! My favourite historical characters are Oprah and Kim Kardashian.
I believe there are quite a few people who would rather collect dead rats on the street than work in an office 😅 as long as it paid for the living expenses
This is like one big Worst Jobs in History episode! I love it!
Tony Robinson is just terrific!
If the stories in this video don't make you realize just how easy you've got it... then your brain just doesn't work at all.
Actually we work more die more hedious deaths from car accidents and occupational hazards. We inhale toxic chemicals on a daily basis, and our water may or may not have toxic levels of industrial polutants that makes us weak and feel like waking up is dificult! Mental issues and birth defects are prevelant today! Also medeaval despotism and war is childsplay compaired to everything that transpired in recent history. We can nitpick particular examples of brutal punishments through the totality of medival history(and in total they seem like it happened frequently), but the modern times are relatively new and so far the horrors suffered in recent history completely dwarf those instances!The holocaust, modern proson, black sites, world war 1&2, and countless conflicts fought with weapons that would make you rather be boiled alive than face their distruction. Only difference between then and now is modern medicine. Even then people are were not guaranteed to get sick they lived more natural physically and mentally balanced lives in untainted nature, unless they loved smelling pigs and living in shit(which I highly doubt) they were probably fine. Also everyone in the family was inherently valued and useful whether child or woman contrary to feminist propaganda because of devision of labor.
Referring to Eleanor the Brewer: the phrase "mind your Ps and Qs" warns the pub-keeper to pour honest Pints and Quarts.
Thought it was to charge correctly though suppose that's one and the same
He's so old, I wish I had even a small chance to shake his hand! I bet if I knew about his past documentaries in school I'd have been much more interested in history!
This is a great retelling of history. I appreciate Tony, even if I am American and this was about Britain. I first saw him on TimeTeam and watched every episode. I would watch any show he narrated or presented.
As an American I find your comments rather odd .
The time period he’s talking about is far enough back that, unless you’re indigenous to the US or are African or Asian, then your ancestors were possibly in Britain. Where do you think white people were before the US was colonized? Medieval Britain is our history too.
@@Author.Noelle.Alexandria it's not. Our history is the mesa american natives and the tribes that the english wiped out.
Sure wish people got that and didn't villainize brown people while claiming english history.
@noellealexandria1153 or mainland Europe. Lots of Germans, Scandinavian and French ancestors. Which if you think about the history of Britain, many of their ancestors are German and French as well.
@@larryzigler6812I'm American and don't find anything odd about it.
Tony! you've been magnificent throughout your career! I hope someone will pass this on to you!
Pretty shocked this great documentary completely skipped over WW1 entirely
love Tony with his sense of humor and storytelling is a class apart.😂❤
When he saw that horse 😂
Love the sound affects
I enjoy Tony’s adventures time traveling the history of ENGLAND.He has come to represent Great Britain’s best
He’s really animated when he’s talking and he’s kinda funny so that help’s ‼️👍🏻
I'm not even British and I love watching these videos with him.
Agreed!
He really is a very endearing man. I'm sure England is proud of her native son.
Aside from loving him in Black Adder, he became more endearing following him through seasons of Time Team. I would love to see a collaboration between him & Lucy Worsley. They have a similar cheeky sense of humor & great enthusiasm for the topic they're covering.
Tony and the crew are absolute legends.
I'm an American fascinated with English history, including the monarchy. Everyday life for a local must have been incredibly difficult & completely undesirable. These poor people went through hell on a daily basis just to feed themselves and their babies. It is great to see they were the backbone in which England was built. Oh, LOVE this guy too. Definitely a national treasure ya'll have there!!!!
Same here .
A national treasure is right. I never get bored listening to Sir Robinson
What do you think Americans now are doing to get by? Look around you.
I'd still rather be a poor person today than a rich king 200 years ago.
"I'm an American "
Stopped reading there.
Poor Baldric, just no getting away from turnips.
Horses don't eat straw, that is their bedding, horses eat hay.😊❤
We all love Sir Tony Robinson
Talking about the German soldiers that knew about the British underground news network and kept it secret because "They wanted to have the real news". As poignant today as ever.
True
Most Germans weren’t dumb. They knew that they were losing the war by 1942. But the Nazi propaganda was truly all-encompassing. So they were starved of news that told the truth about how Hitler and the Nazi high command was bungling things.
The point about current witch iconography - cauldron, cat, and broomstick - and the link to the common alewife (by way of malingering) was fascinating. Yet again, we see the truth: identity is a function of class position, rather than the other way round.
My Londoner mother married a Pole in WWII, while two of her three sisters married GI's, her other sister married a Canadian serviceman. My mother's husband was killed in the war as was her youngest sister's, leaving her with his child. Of the GI's the other was so badly wounded in a strafing of his tank that he spent two years in hospital with part of his chest blown away (he had shouted a warning to the tanks ahead but was hit before he could close the hatch... amazingly they were passing a field hospital at the time, so he was being cared for in minutes). Only one of the four, the Canadian, came back unharmed.
Thank you Tony for the beautifuly told and facinating story of British History.
I'm really loving this video and particularly enchanted with the paintings and illustrations of the way it would have been. It gives you a visual of the real nitty gritty of the times. Tony, you are still a marvel.
This was amazing. Im from the US, never heard of the Mary Rose. Thanks for a great trip back in time!!!!
"I'm working here in Glasgow! And I've got a decent job! I'm carrying bricks n mortar, and me pay is 15 bob! I get up in the morning, and I rise up with the lark! And when I'm walking down the street, you can hear the girls remark ! "
Hello Patsy Fagan!
How I love this ”Britain by Baldrick” perspective on history, which is so rarely seen otherwise.
Excellent. Very well researched and presented. I completely enjoyed this program and learned a great deal. Thank you :)
I’m trying to figure out whether having an expert on literally everything is good or bad. It’s amazing that they have Georgian poaching and ship cuisine experts.
Tony Robins is definitly is a treasure.
Tony on trains, digging up hidden secrets, painting a wall in white paint, he is always the man behind how the show stands out.
This had everything, it was dark, educational and hilarious at the same time! Tony you're a national treasure, great doco
I have like Tony for years...dang tho...we all got old!!!!
And today people born in the 90s are wailing like they are living in the worse time ever.....from the other side of a phone.
Oh I cannot agree with you more. Life was hard and the living were worth nothing.
I enjoyed the ride. And the soundtrack. Thanks for sharing this!
The shipwreck was amazing! Ive just started getting into Tudor era history, and i didnt know they recovered this ship! Love that bit. I love learning about ordinary peoples lives in history
Anthony is a MASTER STORYTELLER.
This is just fascinating! I love history and learning about how other people and countries made it through their trials and tribulations (& wars) and the way this was done makes it even more interesting 😊
Well .....if u love history your not getting it about the so called Royals
@@theraven3481 it happened îyp
I enjoy listening to Tony on such programs.
14 hour shifts all of it on your feet! Sounds like a shift at the Amazon Warehouse. :D
As an American, I LOL’d at the Western movie clip and the cavalry charge. My grandfather was born and raised in England, and emigrated to the US in 1913. So when WWII came, and my father enlisted, I’m sure he wanted to be stationed in the UK. Alas, he was sent to the Pacific theater instead.
Very similar situation with my grandfather. Except he was from Scotland and was sent to Italy. I'm sure he had to gone through the UK at some point to get there.
My grandmother was one of those war brides to an American GI, her brothers served in the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy and her dad was in WWI. I always said I was going to tape her war stories and sadly never did before she passed away 😢so this is awesome to hear about other war stories over there. All of my family is still in England and I should get across the pond to visit 🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸
We take it for granted we have time, gratefully we have memories.
You might be able to find his actions and experiences by finding their unit#!
I love that Tony laughed at the four candles bit.
Found today’s detectors episode extremely interesting and lovely to see Yannis having more input. I’d love to see more of this type of content added to the convent restoration. Well done and thank you.
Detectors episode?
Tony and the crew are absolute legends.. Tony and the crew are absolute legends..
Sometimes I think we're reverting back to the 16th century.
Miss Babs is so precious. Thank you to Tony and the BBC for preserving her story on film for posterity!
l love how the lives of the people Tony talks about translates into the present streets he walks. Just brilliant. l love all these shows. Life was so hard back then, women and kids had it really hard. Makes you feel blessed about today even tho... lm still on the poverty line by todays standards.
This is just wonderful. I watched the entire thing this afternoon. Thank you, Tony! Who's up for some turnips and Black Adder?
Both my British maternal great grandfathers were in WWI. One GG fought in Boer war and later N Africa, and the other in India. My mother said they refused to speak of what they had experienced, and the Boer fighter suffered from PTSD (which we only recognized in the 90s). I wish i knew their stories.
@myswanktrendz The men in my family here in the US wouldn’t speak of the wars they fought in either. If a child or a woman asked they would say that they didn’t go through war to protect their women and children to come home and tell them about the horrors of war. Only once a boy reaches his teens would the men tell them about their experiences. My son and husband did tell me a bit of my father’s training and expertise in reconnaissance which included survival training together with hand to hand combat. It explained a lot, like how he could follow all our boyfriends and never be seen or why he at just 5’7” feared no man.
Babs is AMAZING. First hand counts like hers are so important and so powerful
Oh for a time machine🛸Love these stories of regular people. From Australia, so looking forward to visiting Britain again in September. My sister's first visit, I've made note of a few places in this documentary! My favourite era is the Victorian. Love the history, love Tony Robinson's presentation!
Er, no. Believe me - you don't want a time machine. Life then was hard and brutal. I was born there in 1940 and things hadn't really changed much for centuries in the poorer parts - I still remember lots of things from when I was three years old, if you had money life was great but if you were poor it was crap. People today have no idea.
I am an American. My ancestry is English & Welsh. My 5th great grand father left Wales and landed at Baltimore, in the colony of Maryland.
I am a single( widowed) father. Its just my son & I.
Im seeing this from a different perspective. I only make about $65,000/year. We live of about $30,000. Save the rest. I buy houses and rent them out. So unlike people in the past, there is a hope of a future.
Thanks for this. As a self proclaimed American Anglophile, I enjoy most things British. My UK roots run deep. Very deep. Sir Winston Churchill is a distant cousin.
I love that the method of desalting the salt pork is to put it in salt water
The sailor whose bones were found in the ship wreckage, It would be cool to do a dna on it and find his ancestors
I love learning history! My paternal family ancestry was English. It's obvious the Brits know all about blood, sweat, and tears and how to have a good time whether it be war, ordinary, or lean times! 😊
Keep that stiff upper lip and press onward and upward! 👏
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Another great by Tony Robinson, thank you for Sharing.
Excellent series. It’s interesting how throughout history we note how people did extraordinary things to survive. In fact it wasn’t so extraordinary, people have always done what they had to to survive. It will ever be true that the survivors were the ones who did what they had to do.
Tony makes history so very entertaining.
Just Love Him!!!!!
Her Majesty was a special person. My Nan was in the land army. The history of the second world war includes the story of millions of resolute women, who were absolutely crucial to the war effort. I love my late Nan, my late Queen, and I thank goodness for people like them. That's not to mention all of the old men in my family, who had burn scars and missing extremities. Unfortunately, I was too young to realize that I owed them great thanks, in most cases, I did have the chance to thank two of them. My family would be no where without their efforts.
Dr. Felton this is the most emotional and enjoyable piece you have ever done that I have seen. You were royally pissed.😂
Thank you once again for your descriptive, unexpurgated opinion of your visit.
the sandstone is called a holy stone .. it was still being used on the USS little rock clg-4 in 1961-64 when i left..
Cool❤
I love Tony, and this was an excellent video!
So enlightening and refreshing to see a Black woman in one if these! Especially in a role/career not many Black woman pursue! I loved seeing her scene in the pub. Kudos to Tony and the makers of this docuseries for her brief but impactful insight 👏🏾 ❤
well that 's because they were very rare in old england !!! usually none. only after the colonies did they get blacks..
@@theCosmicQueen blacks have been living in England for over a thousand years..
so it is somebody's fault that black women dont pursue that kind of career and choose to do something else ????
I'm surprised you didn't claim that all the queen's and kings of England were black. Aren't all well know people in history now black (even though they weren't). Just look at all the white people have gone through to get where they are today. So much pain. And you call it white privilege. Such an insult.
@@anastasia10017 she never said that 🤦🏾♀️
Sir Tony keeps on earning his knighthood, doesn't he? Edit: Is it odd that Baldrick of all people skips over WW1?
What if we could have Black Adder ( Rowan Atkinson ) chime in with comments here and there ! Tellling off Baldrick about this and that etc !!!
As always, a excellent doco from Tony. Though, I couldn’t help looking carefully at the turnips in the pottage. Just in case.
I can't reconcile the chivalrous young man with the absolute monster that came later.
I'm convinced that the fall during the tournament where he lost consciousness for hours, resulted in more than just an open wound in his leg that led to a fistula that never closed. His doctors actually created the fistula by refusing to let the wound heal in fear that the infection would poison the blood. This was actually a legitimate fear, but by never letting the wound heal, they made it certain the infection would persist at the edge of gangrene for years. That he didn't die sooner is amazing...
And unfortunate for the women and men of the court and many thousands of his lesser subjects in station but greater perhaps in character.
`This is what I needed to know and was never taught in school. I've learned more from your channel in the past few months than I did in 12 years of American education.Subscribed.
Honestly, such an incredible documentary great narration, and awesome visuals. Thank you so much. I hope to watch the second episode!!!
Thank you Toni for bringing life the lives of my and my husbands predecessors. I am alive for their drive and love❤️👍🏼
Thanks Sir Tony. Always interesting!!
This was so interesting! Love how they brought real people to life.
Love this program, very informative and entertaining, Thank You ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole video. Thank you!
As a child, my neighbor had an old bill hook. It was truly splendid, and for some reason, it captivated my curiosity. I suppose that fascination still lingers within me.
the farmers workday hours was from "can't see to can't see"
That lady is flat out wrong about hammocks. Hammocks were brought back to Europe after Christopher Columbus was exposed to them in 1492. Tudor England is commonly defined as 1485 to 1603. in 1590 there was an official order from the Royal Navy for 300 bolts of canvas for "hanging cabbons or beddes". With it being such a simple and cheap thing to make it would have been very quickly adapted to their ships even before this official order. You wouldn't recover any of them from ship wrecks due to them being quickly destroyed in the ocean.
I would assume you would find the metal fixtures used to secure them though.
@@KatzenjammerKid61 The only thing you find would be the rings at the end of hammocks.

I love and appreciate all your videos....cheers Saint.John's NL CA
As a Australian, born early 70s and the 80s was nothin but epic brit shows and movies and watchin Mr Robinson for the first time was funny and the show was called Maid Marian and her merry men then Blackadder
Thanks Tony for another education in something I never thought about. Recycling at its best. Then along comes a larger wagon, a couple of blokes, picking up your pickings and thus the birth of business competition.
Great video! I love these historical insights, and I think Tony is great.
Canadian girl here. My ancestors have been traced to Devon and the Torbryan area. I know from my 5X great grandfather’s wedding records that he was a sojourner, which from my my French means a labourer of some sort. Didn’t specify, so I presume day labourer. I would love to know about that area of England and what life was like throughout the years. This fellow does a great job. He used to do some archeological show too.
I love the content and you always make me laugh or smile much love and respect from Canada eh
