Outstanding production. We take everything we have for granted today and it was a hilarious joy to watch the celebrities toil through the day to day of servants
I *LOVE* that Kirstie Alley is in this!!!
Phenomenal. Thank you!
Shuddering.
@@mortalclown3812 you need a blankey?
It was sad to see Kirstie Alley. She died last week (first week of December).
Time crashers is great! Was not expecting something like this, pretty fun! 😌
This is AWESOME! I hope there are more!
It was most enjoyable. I too hope there are more!
I could have done this! The butchery part was icky but so is most life in the period.
The “only 1 needle” seems like a setup to me. ;-))
Not necessarily. Needles were expensive. Especially metal ones. Bone or wooden ones were more common but wouldn't stand up to leather. Realistically they may have only one available to the kitchen staff.
Oh please have more. That was GREAT!! Can I volunteer to be on one? Fly me to England I am SO there!!
This is a new series ???
Great... Tony is an absolute riot !
🤣😂🤣😂... A man who can make slogging thru swamps look fun !
Never seen this series!! Thank you! Dear god I love this channel
No kidding! I would ❤️ to do when the Romans arrived. Live in a roundhouse!
They have more. There is one. three every day families live the life of their ancestors from the Edwardian times to the 70's. There is another where 3 or 4 families have their own businesses in the high street from Edwardian times to the 70's. And another where celebrities go back to the vuctorian era. So interesting.
Love these re-enactment’s!
Yay Tony Robinson!! He is the best!
Extreme realistic. I love it.
I haven’t watched it yet but DAMN that looks like fun. Now … on to the show….
I can tell I watch too much BBC because I immediately recognized the lady of the house as Eve; the daughter of Ruth from the Victorian, Edwardian, and Tudor farm series.
I don't like Kirsty Alley at all and this didn't improve my opinion of her. Trying to compare it to America. With this time period you can't. Slavery is close, yes, but missing the bar by far. How about a frontier settler or a farmer's wife with 8 kids running around your heels. The job of a Tudor servant was hard yes, but at least your boss didn't own your person.
Everyone else was fantastic. This was so much fun!
Medieval... very late 16th century? I came here hoping the video covered a time no later than the 15th century but this is the Renaissance period.
Cool, TY.
I'd rather have the peas. Anything is better than fried eggs(boiled and poached are in this group as well).
Too bad the kitchen staff didn't get to cook up the peas pottage in the grease of the eggs and bacon. I'm sure something was. They wouldn't waste any fat if they can help it. I like how the timecrashers wouldn't want to live in that time.
Change the title to Elizabethan or Renaissance as it is not medieval. Just thought I'd point that out.
XVI century isn't medieval.

Even in Europe the dark ages were a myth made up later my protestants centuries later. The so called dark ages were a time of rapid advancement.
my god...how stupid can TV get? Shows like this make a mockery of real history.
One of the reasons why the History Channel SUCKS.
Ha don’t get a dog if you can’t walk it that’s ridiculous 😢
The history is awesome, posh people complaining about work…not so much. Boring👎
I'm amazed about how these "time crashers" were so used to being pampered in their 21st century's lives. For a whole one and half days they acted like spoiled children. Don't they have any idea how the working 75% of their present day fellow citizens work to make a living? The things people are doing so they can eat their sushi, breads, vegetables steak etc. The worker in a steel mill or refinery? The textile worker, the underpaid shoe maker? Do they think the metals used to make their IPhones and power their Tesla cars just appear out of thin air? The "slave" labor to extract these metals, would truly seem like the real meaning of slavery. Etcetera.
Their eragance about how these domestics were little more than slaves. Don't they realize that the average peasant would have anything to be in their shoes? No worry about freezing to death, or starving or having no clothes. There are people all over this world who go thru worse so the celebrities can drive fancy cars, wear wonderful clothes, eat in fancy restaurants and live the good life.
Not to be arrogant, but I think you mean "arrogance' not eragance :-) That said, I was also surprised-where do they think meat comes from? Animals, that need to be butchered and cut up and etc, etc.
@@CFinch360 I grew up on a farm so I know what it is all about but for most people they have a very vague view of how animals are butchered and don't think about it too much when shopping or cooking but when presented with animal butchery in all its gory glory it can be a little jarring.
tell the internet how you really feel
@@billn.1318 I think I did. I'm tired of celebrities thinking everyone lives like they do, and not even seeing the "little" people, except for a photo ops to make them look so caring.
@@williamromine5715 Your statements are conflicting because you originaly wrote about the "the time crasher" casts being pampered and then now, about how little folks are not seen and celebrities live like average little folks. You obviously have a grudge against the wealthy and this is normal and we little folks cannot do anything about it. If there is anything that can defeat a celebrity is for little folks like us to stop paying attention to them. The more you put your attention to them, you then become a slave to whatever it is you envy about them. Time Crashers is a tv show and it showcased for entertainment purposes only and a show like that cannot go into further detail. I have seen this show and they did mention verbally about some things of the past and how the medieval work life was structured between peasants> businesses > nobility > monarchy. Life was frugal back then but for a show, hard to cover the details. It was just mere entertainment. There will always be a division of the working class and the rich. Been around since the age of civilization. The sumerians are the oldest recorded civilization known in written history and those folks had lower class making stuff for the rich!
