- The Time Crashers are now back in 1468, one of the few years England was not troubled by the Wars of the Roses and they are in two unisex teams of squires, the Reds and the Blacks, competing with each other to prepare their knight for a jousting tournament. The fastest team to accommodate the winning knight is rewarded with a feast whilst the losers must polish yet more armour.

Fern as a squire falling for the knight is absolutely hilarious. “I could see how a maid might find him attractive!”
I’m sad that only 6 episodes were done. I love these.
It's so nice to see actresses like Kirstie allowing themselves to age naturally. I really appreciate how raw and un-photoshopped British "telly" is. lol
I was somewhat surprised by her natural face, but honestly she looks attractive, and most of the different time period’s garb flattered her figure nicely.
Kirstie Alley looks beautiful even in her advanced age. She is one classy lady.
@@witchhazel7451 Hardcore trumpie who supported the January insurrection but OTHER THAN THAT I GUESS...
@@wordwoman9900 She has her right to support whoever she wants, the topic of this thread is how beautiful she is and how gracefully she has aged. Not stupid political jabs or leftist cancel culture by communist sycophants. So if you have nothing positive to add to the topic, then piss off with the nasty bs.
@@witchhazel7451 The point was that her behavior is anything but classy and inner ugliness overshadows superficial looks. I hope she notices you though sweetie.
The barber surgeon was so ready to make someone bleed 😂😂

The amount of money put into these shows, so well spent! History recreated in modern day is so delightful! We seem so ill mannered compared to the times then.
Oh I think we’re much better mannered than those ridiculous Tudors
@@BeckBeckGo and myself, I do like being able to vote!
@@BeckBeckGo Why? There's lots of modern rude people and rude people online too.
Kirstie Alley's spirit is so great in all of these episodes. I would have expected her to be a Hollywood elitist but she is always down-to-earth, willing to learn, and actually enjoying it. Plus she always surprises me when she explains her prior experiences with whatever task it is... horses, cooking, sewing. Love her!
Kirstie saying that was the best day of her life, and her win felt like an academy award. That’s a huge statement. It kind of floored me tbh. I suppose she was comparing herself to being a Tudor. But I get it. I did an archery shoot once at a medieval festival. I felt like Merida. It was glorious
I can't believe how much fun this show is! My nerdy heart is in love 🥰
Tony Robinson is literally one of the best narrators
Well, I for one, have fallen completely in love with that big ginger Greg. How can anyone be so physically beautiful AND apparently such a nice guy?
SAME
Honestly he has such a positive and great attitude, and you're right, he's so attractive. What a gem!
The red haired Olympian would be a great young King Henry 8th - he’s got his hair colour and height
Yes he’s a cutie, the Olympian🤗😜🥰😙😁
A lot of 📜 historical accounts of the true Henry the viii may of been a bit of a different story ......😝 beheading a dozen or so people, two being wives doesn’t make him all that attractive ahhhh 🤪🙃 heads rolling
his last wife, Katherine Parr, (Numero 6) died in 1548 on the 5th of September.

You know you've watched too much Absolute History when you see spiral laces on clothes 30 seconds into the program and immediately go "oh, early Tudor period". (Edit: Technically the Tudor period started in 1485, so I was 13 years early in my guess. I still think that's pretty decent considering it was more than half a millennium ago and I guessed based on a doublet. 🤷♀️)
I swear I'd have had better grades in my high school history classes if this channel had existed back then. But no, we had the wrestling coach telling us to read our textbooks while he planned for an upcoming match. I thought I hated history until I was in my 20s.
Yeah, my wrestling coach probably couldn't spell 'Tudor'. But he did teach me a lot about crotch-grabs. Still trying to apply this as a life-hack.
Ditto. History coming to life and being relatable makes it so much more interesting
No matter how hard I try, I cannot look at Tony Robinson and not hear in my head, "I have a cunning plan". Luv ya guts Tony, great work as always.
How can you not love Kristie Alley. She is so down to earth. R.I.P beautiful!
Red Team: we were made for this era. Let’s stay here!
Black Team: err... we’ve got Chris
I have a whole new appreciation for Kirstie. She is highly intelligent and competent in everything she attempts. Wish I had a friend like her! Love this series ❤️
I've always loved Kirstie Alley in movies and shows. I've loved her even more in this series, she really kept a good attitude and gave it a real try. A real gem.
I always love these Tony Robinson docu's 🤷♂️🥰
Ikr? Tony Robinson could read me the dictionary, & I still would be thrilled!
What a great show....can’t get enough of this time crashing!
The Knight for the red team is quite handsome.
I love this series! Wished there were more of them!
there are more LIKE it, though. Look up the "24 Hours In the Past" series, as well as the Ruth Goodman & Peter Ginn series. You will be blessed to have watched them
"Go and get him yourself, I'm not going over there." Love it.
Knowing not only the score but the favour of the crowd and the lady affect the result, now I understand the importance of the "bard's buff" from Chaucer in "A Knight's Tale".
I wish there were ALOT more episodes of Time Crashers.. ty actors and Tony Robinson...
Kirsty Ally looks just like a gnome in that hat. So cute!
She'll be right at home on planet Xenu!
I was thinking Keebler Elf, but either way, same sentiment, haha.
@@elleryeggen9678 you read my mind, lol
I would like my country to have programs like this. It's entertaining and educational.
I mean. They’re online.
@@Nightshaders Agreed, Oh sure there are "official reenactment guilds" and more "YE OLDE FAIRES/Villages" than one can shake a metaphorical stick at, but you have to know people on the inside if you want to participate and while historical, they often still have a fun/fantasy/romantic vision of things. These guys only knew ( I gather) that they were being chosen to participate in some kind of historical show, they didn't know they'd be washing laundry in pee for example.
Totally binge worthy. Loved it!
The utter joy of watching the historical programming of Absolute History is only slightly diminished by the deep melancholy in my heart that I am a Canadian who wishes desperately to visit the UK....even live there!!!
This is so cool! I want to watch them all back to back.
I love how educational these videos are and as they're delivered in such an entertaining way I find it's easier to retain all the information. Plus it's just fun to watch
this is such a great format to teach history
I'm from USA, my elementary school had this thing where 3rd graders would go out to the local history museum and spend a day in a turn of the century "school house". And I've gone to the local Rennaissance Festival a time or ten. Both of those probably had a hand in my being a casual armchair history enthusiast. And if I got wind of a similar chance to live history, I'd love to give it a go. That said, I don't always do well under pressure so this would be a good test of character for me.
Watching these time crashers makes my heart super happy. Can't wait to see more! And shout out to Kirstie for naming her horse Mikey! ❤️❤️❤️
Making sure one’s side is ready joust in time
So did Zoey do anything? Or no like she hasn’t in all the other episodes? Lol
So you're saying there's hope that the other episodes will be uploaded as well? Please!
Absolutely! New episode posted each Tuesday. There are 6 episodes.
I have always loved these documented moments in time! Thank you Sir!
I was saddened when actress Kirstie Alley died from cancer in December of 2022.
I liked her in Cheers & Veronica's closet. She was 😁.
Good show, she looked real happy grooming the knight's steed!
Being a Knight was NOTHING like being a footballer! Knights didn't roll on the floor crying every time they felt a bit injured!
I forgot this show is heavily set in the UK for a moment, assumed football was in reference to American football (not “soccer” which is really stupid considering every other country calls it football) and so I wondered why an American Footballer would ever roll around in tears over a bump when they tackle eachother to the ground. 😅
@@norainnoflowers1551 LOL yeah, 'HandEgg' players wouldn't be rolling round crying in the way that soccer players do. I've got a really low tolerance for pain, but even I'm not as bad as some pro footballers (soccer players).
I truly enjoyed this, thank you.
@ 7:33, I could have sworn that man was Bruce Willis. I had to pause, but luckily his name was shown. What a dead ringer.
I love this series. The well directed, well filmed, and well depicted episodes make even the historically challenged among us, sufficiently interested. Thank you for your time and effort ! Pat
Thank you for this.
Rest in peace Kirstie
This is awesome! I used to tour the country jousting for a show!
What is your view of the horses used in this? They look VERY inexperienced to me? Not at all comfortable in that situation!
@@24934637 horses back then were treated terribly compared to modern day jousting.
I know in the company I worked in we focused on building trust and bond with the horse before anything. We also never used bits on our horses and only used hackamores with our horses. We also never put our horses in situations they werent ready and trained for. Basically all in all, the horses always came first :)
Loved it! Loved it! Very entertaining 👏 . Bravo!! Can't wait for the next video.
Whoa!! They got Bruce Willis as the Marshal on team Black!!
Deadliest Historian: Yee Be Timely
Love this episode, learned sooo much new!!
Kirstie Alley's house looked like Disneyland on acid, in the best way...incredibly whimsical and stunning
Keith had chivalry by our modern 21st century definition. Lmao
i've been waiting for this
“I’ll do it” 😂😂😂
An American actress, of a certain age, allowing herself to be seen on television un-polished is extremely rare (never). Kirstie is to be applauded.
I’m more of the mindset that the rest of Hollywood should have chunks of ham thrown at them. There should never be a society so toxic that we applaud people over the age of 50 for merely showing their face in public.
Armour was built especially for each knight, and so it was very flexible!
I would so love to participate in this experience and experiment…What an amazing gift! And they get PAID to do it! Heck! I would do it for free!
This is so much fun hahahah Fern falling in love with the King
I love that they did the tudor bow when they bowed to their lord xD
My fave episode so far but defos looking forward to seeing the EDWARDIAN PERIOD!
“Identified by look, smell.....” Please say taste? Please say taste?!
Dam it!! I never win 😢
18:05
I was expecting the doc to take a swig first thing.
Who else just loves this series
I can hardly wait for the release of new episodes!
@@theghostinthemirror8158 Right who was your fav team mine was red oh man am I Pumped for the new episode
@@AtomicF1 I was also rooting for red! I’m loving the way they are going through the eras.
@@theghostinthemirror8158 Yes someone who gets me! you have earned a sub
Hope you post all 6
This episode was so funny!
No mention of the red shield which Kirsty worked on and which was supposed to be so important?
They didn't even show her finished work!
I can trace one of my family lines back to Kind Edward III. This is awesome!
R.I.P. Kirstie 🙏🏽
Just a wonderful show I want more. ❤❤❤❤😍😍😍
I wish they included a bit about gambeson because that was in effect the plate armor's padding. Would have been delightful to have a bit about middle english as well ♥️
I "saw" scenes from Michael Crighton`s "Timeline"! Quite touching sight for me, I must admit!
If only the History classes of the 90's taught us stuff like this....
I couldn't agree more. I have a much greater appreciation for learning now than I did then. I would love to try to take one of my old history tests and see how I did
Britain has the best shows.
*This* channel... need I say more *WOW*
I Wonder How many Spirits are there watching this On the grounds. The Spirits from those times that Never Left 😁
It must be like the epic version of an old dude watching some kid try to recreate the style of his generation as it cycles back around again. And failing terribly
Doesn't seem to be much of a Winning Reward, for these days Anyway lol 😁😁😁 great episode guys, loved it
I kind of likened it to “win tuition for a year”. A lot of these squires aspired to be knights.
Absolute History Rocks!!
It was just announced that Kirstie Alley died at 71, and now I’m watching her in this series. 😢😢
Yeah boi!
I love them all showboating! 😂😂
The music in the intro is the same piece they use for Soul Calibur 2.
If the lady was that important in that era (or at least for the tournament), what was the role of other women then? I would have liked seeing that in this episode like it's shown in other episodes how women were treated. Maybe even by the male 'celebrities' playing the roles of women ...
To sit there and look pretty
@@misszombiequeen yes but not in the lower class
The horses look so done with life
OMG! Ferns a delicate flower, isnt she!
Part of me's wondering if we're watching the birth of Greg Rutherford: historical reenactment hobbyist, here.
The event in 1520 was known as the Field of the Cloth of Gold.
Fern is so whiny in this lol.
Kirsty alley...what rejuvenated her?
I'd say nothing... looking quite old, actually.
As a dog/cat groomer of over 32 years I would have been a great asset of caring for the horse and picking up it's shit lol🙄😁 don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing 😂😂😂😂😂🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
The more one knows history, the less
that demagogues can deceive us in the
present.
They look so cute in dining outfits. Or as they say kitted out.
This could have been a really cool show if it stuck closer to the real thing and not adding silliness for extra drama.
I like some eelements of these a lot, and the quality of it overall, the clothing etc. are much better than a lot of tripe otherwise seen on TV. But the fake surprise and other weird bits definately felt 'off' at times
I'd participate
So the Knights earned quite a bit of money then, if they paid for the armor themselves, would someone else have paid for it?
PS I don't understand why the black were so down; they won a great second place while the reds were one before the last!
Man, it was all Wild West or Cops and Robbers for me growing up. No one wanted to play Knights. Ever. So disappointed
22:28 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The teams have been equally divided , they have handicaps like the body builder…..and then they have the assets, like the Olympian and Kirsty… I think the reds will win…but I’m only two minutes into the competition…..
The woman introduced as a "socialite" really struck me. Why in the world would anybody want to be on a TV show and be introduced as a socialite? To me that's an insult. . Might as well say "And introducing rich snob who wouldn't know work if it bit her in the face, Meg Matthews" When I picture "socialite" Paris Hilton is the first person who comes to my mind.
Im a cosmetologist(person who dose hair) so im technically a surgeon back then!🤣
A bit of Tragic for my thinking.
Rose war???...who are you fighting for? not them i pray
Loved this series - and Tony Robinson too, as always with his history/time team type programs. But with all the authenticity why are the women still wearing eye makeup? And at 11:53 was that a bit of aluminium foil I spotted? Kirsty - so much respect for her throughout the series, for her great attitude and resourcefulness, and also because she is e a rare Hollywood actress who has left her face to age normally. Also for Keith, the oldest of the men, who despite truly dodgy knees and back, keeps on keeping on, and even volunteers in one episode when the young guys are too tired, when he was exhausted himself, and in pain. Also stand out great attitude from the olympic long jumper. No time for the young weightlifter though, for reasons others have expressed. For all she began saying she'd give it her all, she never did. Goes to show that strength of character gets you further than physical strength for sure. Great series which I've recommended to my grandkids.
