Ruth cackling as she flies past a doorway on a bicycle...you have no idea how much I needed that... Remember joy? Happiness? Yea, me neither... But Ruth reminded me...
I feel this joy every time I see new seedlings in my garden. I get giddy. Drives my kids nuts, if you go by their attitudes, but they love me. They help plant seeds with me. Teenagers. Ruth does find the joy in her day to day.
Watching these shows has helped me appreciate the easy living we have in modern times but still theres a part of me that longs for the simplicity of those days. Good hard work and the outdoors, nothing quite like it. Not one cell phone in sight
The random folks they get for these shows are just as great as the hosts. You can take one quick glance at Bill and know his family's had saltwater in their veins for generations. He's dripping with authenticity. Same with the basket maker and the butcher. And that church scene at the end. Ngl it was kinda touching to see that one guy so happy to have his childhood chapel being used again to do an old timey Christmas service. And all that's just the stuff from this one episode! Every episode of all these farm series is full of stuff like this!
I know, I wish they could do a whole episode just asking each craftsman/ expert about their lives and their skills, a lot of which may not be passed on.

Ruth is like your favorite Aunt who always had something fun to do, make or cook, when you came to visit. I was lucky to grow up with a few Ruth's and some Peter's and Alex's.
@@Cook-hb2nf I just put this exact same comment just now. I thought it was just me who noticed. First British person I see without some sense of humour.
I love that Ruth reads and enjoys the greeting cards while she is polishing. So relatable! I would have found my curiosity about the family irresistible too!
When they made a jab at Bills boat the subtle, polite fury on his face had me cracking me up. He looked so like "Bitch did you just shit-talk my dingy?"
What amazes me more that these machines were once WIDELY used everywhere, is that they are STILL functional and being kept running after more than a century later. Nowadays we can't even go 5 years with something without it ''withering'' away and having to either see to hopelessly pricy repairs or simply buy something new. I think if we had such machines that lasted longer, people would have a greater appreciation for the items they keep, generally would contribute to less junk being manufactured in such large quantities. But of course the corporations wouldn't want to be left without your money - so it's really sad to where we've come with our consumption.
Items before are built to last. It's about the quality, now it's all about capitalism and brand names. They're made to make sure we're buying again in a couple years or so.
I absolutely LOVE the part about tanning the leather! Goes to show just how many people and jobs are influenced by just one cow, and the full line of industries it helps along the way!
You know you're addicted to a cast and productions when you find yourself noting the new grey in Peter's hair. Thank you so much for uploading all of these...they are all so much fun, and really interesting. An added bonus, I think, is that I can already tell I will enjoy re-watching them, simply because they aren't overly-scripted or emotion driven.
@@Shine-kg9vk You know what's more depressing? Knowing such unsympathetic people such as yourself exist. This man lost someone and is grieving. Worst pain there is... If you don't understand that then count yourself fortunate but when you do experience it, remember you get what you give out.
I'm a proud Atheist, but i think the chapel service is a nice time for communities to get together and have socials and whatever get together from the loneliness from constant hard labor.
@@monicapyle You don't know Atheists, nor do i think you're one. Atheists don't believe in heaven or hell, you just finish out, without worries. Easy. You've been brainwashed in religion too much that you're afraid of death and some "afterlife" judgement
These three presenters each bring something unique to the mix, making it even better. Often with three presenters, they're just shades of each other but here each one shines as individuals because of their different expertise and characters. Together they elevate something already amazing into something wonderful. I never get tired rewatching their history documentaries.
Ruth and her husband to this day still practice some of the things from these videos. It's a way of life for them. I'm starting an herb area this year based on some of the things I've picked up watching them.
yeah... I, too, feel like she's the main attraction of this show. Alex comes in second, while Peter... I think that, deep inside, Peter hates that he's been dragged into this and he'd much rather be in a pub right now, drinking his brains out. He does have the face of a drunk :)
I'm so warming up Ruth she is always laughing smiling she doesn't care what her hands clean she is in it all and still a smiling got to love Ruth my days boy's are nauty.
probably only when she's being recorded, which is about 10-20 minutes out of a 1 month existence. Off camera she's probably having her anger / frustration / sadness / hate moments, even though she might not seem the type
I tell people cuz I've enjoyed and appreciated these series so much. The time and dedication that went into them. That others want to enjoy them makes me happy only trying to helpful. There are like 8 of them or something close to that. I'm not tech savy or a youtuber I'm just someone that wants to help facilitate people to be able to enjoy these wonderful series. Sorry that was not good enough for you. 😷😎😷
I am so appreciative that ALL of you do this and package it to us in such a interesting and fantastic way 😃 Just want to thank you all for this wonderful content!!! 🇨🇦
Great stuff! My one minor complaint is that the music is far too loud compared to the speaker, it drowns out his narration. Otherwise this is a joy to watch, as usual!
so funny that back than the brisket was the cheapest shit ever and now its pretty expensive. funny how that changed. same with lobsters, oysters, butter ect
I think Ruth is a hoot and a half! Peter is funny and both Boys would be great to work with. I'm impressed with all three! I enjoy and like Ruth's laughter!
Life's not just about working, you gotta have some fun, too. Besides, eating and drinking is not really entertainment, it's necessity, so it was money spent properly
Over 100 years later, my mom regularly made pot roast with potatoes and root veggies for Sunday dinner when I was growing up. A one pot meal, easy to throw together and cook (before the invention of slow cookers and Instant Pots). Good stuff!
Bill, the fisherman, caught an attitude with Alex and Peter throwing shade at his "dinghy." Seeing that exchange made me laugh longer than I should have!
@Celto Loco it's not stolen, it's a reupload. Absolute history is one of many channels that are from the same chain and are dedicated to reuploading lost documentaries that used to be in CDs or out of airing schedules
The fisherman was not amused at Alex and Peter joking about his boat. "When's the last time you did a little refurb on it?" Hahaha his face was so confused. Alex and Peter are so silly together.
Just love Ruth's energy and enjoyment exploring this . Her delightful cackle is so lively. Love this series, my great ancestors were either farmers or servants. Funny enough one was a ladies maid in central London but then was quickly moved to a country manor where there was an increase to the household of two- her and her newborn. Considering that that would usually result in instant dismissal , one wonders who was the father? Lol.
40:23 Not very smart to insult a man's boat just before you go out to sea where there are no witnesses and accidents easily happen. (On top of the fact that it was just damned rude.) 49:30 Perhaps they've redeemed themselves.
Nowadays, most French men couldn’t do what my great grandmother used to do every single day... and she had a great motto I would like to share: If the rain is coming and your fiancé prefers to go dancing than harvesting, wrong choice. If all the work is done and your fiancé doesn’t want to go and enjoy the bal, another wrong choice. It’s all about priorities and sharing pleasures when we can... ✨🧡
Yeah, that fisherman looked like he was losing his patience in general with the boys. I wanted to hear him talk, but Peter and Alex must have been excited about what they were doing because they kept talking over him.
Thank you for doing these, I get so much more from watching them live like this and give their comments while living it then I ever could from reading history.
It is just amazing that if I heard right and this is set around 1906 that this is the world just 16 years before my great grandmither was born who is currently in the room underneath mine and whit whom I just had christmas. He told of washing clothes with ash, walking three houses ove in the village to the well to get water, having pigs over summer and slughtering them before winter as keeping them would be to expensive. By watching this series and the ones before that I realized not much has changed in the way of life I experience through her experience daily back to almost the iron age in simple living land folk. Housing changed and available materials increased in number but most of the techniques stayed almost the same! Just puts history into a closer timeframe!
I stumbled acrossed this series on Dec. 4, 2024 and am addicted and binging it!!! It is an Awesome series and they ALL WORK SO WELL TOGETHER!!! I am so, so glad they made it for all to experience the Edrawdian life on the farm, looked like a REALLY HARD LIFE!!!
Check out the Castle one!!! These are all available in order with better sound. Building a Castle, Tudar Monastery Farm, Victorian Christmas,...etc 😷😎😷
@@oceansoflorewi personally I'd rather be in the edwardian age where the toys and wallpaper (just to name a couple of things) are not killing me however I still have more videos to watch lol Dont get me wrong though, I am happy living with the luxury of this age
me, too. Especially since I have always loved the countryside, the environment, and the fauna. I would fit in so well in those decors, and would do my job - well, the poultry / livestock related jobs anyway - so well, and with so much enjoyment....
Thomas Jefferson had "in house" toilets, unheard of in his time. He'd designed a system for each relief room, clay lined pipes leading from just above the river -- a source of clean air, and from the relief room another pipe pulling the air out of the house,. I don't remember how he managed to keep the air moving, but it worked. One side effect was that even in the hottest summer days the plantation house remained cool from all that river air.
Great example but Roman's had indoor plumbing very primitive but they had it ( their toilet paper was disgusting.....a rag /sponge on a stick used by multiple ppl yew!!!) There has been spots of running h20/ toilets through out history when they were present the health of the household/community went up
This video's music to narration volume isn't as bad as other ones but it's still an issue. Please fix this because the content is so amazing it's just a shame.....also.... viewers, do not listen with head phones 😂 or you'll have to turn the volume up and down all the time.
Thanks for typing that out so I didn't have to! I'm a bit hard of hearing, so "background" music can sometimes be a problem, but with some of these videos it's especially bad when the narrator speaks. Shame really because I love the series and some of the most important information is covered up by the music!
Yeah, I was thinking dang, Ruth's going out for hours to work to make ends meet, likely still doing all the housework around her outside work time, and they have that kind of meal without her. Hope they saved her some, but expect they would have shown it if so. Kinda disappointed in Peter for just going eh, she's not here to monitor, so let's have a splurge.
This is one of the most funniest episodes ever 1 The look of the fisherman when they ask him to use the lobster pot (you want to catch fish with this you peasants? Ok, will give it a try) 2 Ruth freaking out about the running water and iceboxes and molds. 3 The realisation of dealing with machines. Too cute for words!
I love this series. Both with the 2 guys and the 1 lady. But also everyone else that works on this series year by year. I’m a English Canadian Jew from SW and Central England. And where they are is one county East of where some of my family came into Canada.
Ruth cackling as she flies past a doorway on a bicycle...you have no idea how much I needed that... Remember joy? Happiness? Yea, me neither... But Ruth reminded me...
I feel this joy every time I see new seedlings in my garden. I get giddy. Drives my kids nuts, if you go by their attitudes, but they love me. They help plant seeds with me. Teenagers.
Ruth does find the joy in her day to day.
She always reminded me of the wicked witch of the west & cackling on that bike did it.
I desperately want Ruth’s job!!
That is why I enjoy watching her. She is a joy to watch. :)
Watching these shows has helped me appreciate the easy living we have in modern times but still theres a part of me that longs for the simplicity of those days. Good hard work and the outdoors, nothing quite like it. Not one cell phone in sight
The random folks they get for these shows are just as great as the hosts. You can take one quick glance at Bill and know his family's had saltwater in their veins for generations. He's dripping with authenticity. Same with the basket maker and the butcher. And that church scene at the end. Ngl it was kinda touching to see that one guy so happy to have his childhood chapel being used again to do an old timey Christmas service. And all that's just the stuff from this one episode!

It's great, isn't it? As a City Slicker who moved to the country, I learn so much from these series❤❤
I know, I wish they could do a whole episode just asking each craftsman/ expert about their lives and their skills, a lot of which may not be passed on.
Haha Ruth is delightful. The way she was excitedly laughing when she got on the bicycle. She's such a joyful person. 😊
Ngl, I think if I saw Ruth like that on a bike back in the day.... I’d probably think she’s a witch 😂😂
She's one of a kind : )

Yes, however if was was able to live somewhere that gorgeous I’d be happy too. City life sucks
Ruth is just livin her best life all during this series, isn’t she?
She’s just vibing.
Ruth is like your favorite Aunt who always had something fun to do, make or cook, when you came to visit. I was lucky to grow up with a few Ruth's and some Peter's and Alex's.
I LOVE her enthusiasm!
She's let's me believe they're really back in time. We love Ruth
I totally admire her!!
It's so cute how Ruth gets so excited! Like a little kid in a playground😂 Her passion and energy makes it all more interesting and fun
As a true historian Ruth is very knowledgeable about the past ages of British life and prefers tor farm changes over the years.
I giggle right along with her, as I would be giddy in that position...
She is a national treasure and deserves all our love and protection.
In the last episode she was making gin and said "O, I'm bein' bad. A bad girl. Don't tell the neighbors."
I actually started off not liking her but now I love her she really inhabits the time she’s in and loves every moment.
Ruth makes learning about all this really fun, and exciting. I love her energy!!
I don’t watch their videos unless she is there. She is amazing
Vieja The old woman LOL
I totally agree! She makes me want to go hang out with her for a day and just explore the past!
I wish Ruth was my mom she seems so kind 🥺
I'm seriously wondering if that really was the first time she's seen an electric light.
You know it's funny because Ruth really grew on me. Her enthusiasm is endearing and not forced. I think she's my absolute favorite!!
If you were making a movie and you needed an authentic-looking old fisherman, you'd just see Bill and say, "Yep, exactly."
There’s definitely salt water in that man’s veins. He looks like he could harpoon a whale.
I absolutely love him.
Same here. Never did I expect to see the most in-place ''character'' in my life - this person definitely takes the prize for it!
He didn't seem to appreciate the fellas laughing at his dingy when they asked him when was the last time he did repairs to it!
@@Cook-hb2nf I just put this exact same comment just now. I thought it was just me who noticed. First British person I see without some sense of humour.

Exactly, ive got a 50 year old fridge, new lasts 10 if youre lucky...
Planned obsolescence his a big money maker for corporations. I really would like something that can last a fucking long time.
Items before are built to last. It's about the quality, now it's all about capitalism and brand names. They're made to make sure we're buying again in a couple years or so.
If you have access to bbc sounds, def check out the programme Dare to Repair.
I love Ruth to death, but Peter is my underrated #2! He’s always down to do some hard work and yet he can still be so goofy and sweet.
ruth makes me smiles she gets so excited and as much as i love alex, peter is my favorite for the same reasons as you
I think you’ll find there’s a small but passionate history-loving group of women (and not a few men) who rate Peter very, very highly! ☺️
@@tinalouisestagg most. definitely. 😉 though I’ve got to say, Alex is a cutie, too. They both look sooooo handsome in the Edwardian period. _swoons_
55:38 hahaha I can't it's too bad ...
@TheSapphireDragon1 Alex is the guy with the logistical plans and technique
Dude seemed really offended when they talked about his water logged boat. lol
can't blame him
@@Name-yv2zq why? seemed like a bit of a concern to average people. lol
@@jack5001ful they did laugh but it was in good spirits. I bet he's rather proud of his boat.
Made the old guy grow too. Think those guys are being a bit snobby.

I enjoyed the time spent with fisherman Bill the most🌊🐟🦞🦀. Seems like a very humble and good person.
Miss Ruth is the spitting image of my Late Wife. Got kind of misty seeing her set up for Xmas. My wife used to do the same.
Roger Auger Ruth has one of those faces that looks so familiar I have an Cousin who looks like her but like 16 and with bright red hair.

A year in the pit. Those mothers used to be stern. :-D
yup :) pretty sure that's where it stems from. Sure fun to see the origins
next time on edwardian farm: ruth becomes extremely excited about mundane things again.
I love how the guys were just kind of dying inside during that hellfire sermon against alcohol.
I enjoyed how much fun this lady had riding her bike to work.
Thank you for doing these, I get so much more from watching them live like this and give their comments while living it then I ever could from reading history.
It is just amazing that if I heard right and this is set around 1906 that this is the world just 16 years before my great grandmither was born who is currently in the room underneath mine and whit whom I just had christmas. He told of washing clothes with ash, walking three houses ove in the village to the well to get water, having pigs over summer and slughtering them before winter as keeping them would be to expensive. By watching this series and the ones before that I realized not much has changed in the way of life I experience through her experience daily back to almost the iron age in simple living land folk. Housing changed and available materials increased in number but most of the techniques stayed almost the same! Just puts history into a closer timeframe!
I wanna excuse my spelling mistakes as it is late at night and I unfortunately have bad eyesight
I stumbled acrossed this series on Dec. 4, 2024 and am addicted and binging it!!! It is an Awesome series and they ALL WORK SO WELL TOGETHER!!! I am so, so glad they made it for all to experience the Edrawdian life on the farm, looked like a REALLY HARD LIFE!!!
I love ruth! Haha she is just having a blast doing this project!
i LOVED her poking through the christmas cards and laughing at how posh and ridiculous they were
I want to be part of this so bad
Me too! Would love to live the life for a few days!
It's interesting this era makes me nauseous for some reason, would rather be in the victorian/ gilded age. No luxury here.
Check out the Castle one!!! These are all available in order with better sound. Building a Castle, Tudar Monastery Farm, Victorian Christmas,...etc 😷😎😷
@@oceansoflorewi personally I'd rather be in the edwardian age where the toys and wallpaper (just to name a couple of things) are not killing me however I still have more videos to watch lol
Dont get me wrong though, I am happy living with the luxury of this age
me, too. Especially since I have always loved the countryside, the environment, and the fauna. I would fit in so well in those decors, and would do my job - well, the poultry / livestock related jobs anyway - so well, and with so much enjoyment....
Hey turn the music up, I almost heard the narrator!
I love these series so much but Ruth so happy all the time just makes me so joyful
love their enthusiasm and insights on so many relevant history. And been crushing on Peter, lol.
Ruth can do everything! The guys are doing a good job also!😊
Thomas Jefferson had "in house" toilets, unheard of in his time. He'd designed a system for each relief room, clay lined pipes leading from just above the river -- a source of clean air, and from the relief room another pipe pulling the air out of the house,. I don't remember how he managed to keep the air moving, but it worked.
One side effect was that even in the hottest summer days the plantation house remained cool from all that river air.
Great example but Roman's had indoor plumbing very primitive but they had it ( their toilet paper was disgusting.....a rag /sponge on a stick used by multiple ppl yew!!!) There has been spots of running h20/ toilets through out history when they were present the health of the household/community went up
It’s the being excited over tap water for me
This video's music to narration volume isn't as bad as other ones but it's still an issue. Please fix this because the content is so amazing it's just a shame.....also.... viewers, do not listen with head phones 😂 or you'll have to turn the volume up and down all the time.
Thanks for typing that out so I didn't have to! I'm a bit hard of hearing, so "background" music can sometimes be a problem, but with some of these videos it's especially bad when the narrator speaks. Shame really because I love the series and some of the most important information is covered up by the music!
If you watch Brad Colett’s post of the same series the sound is much better. I don’t know why absolute history got it so wrong
I am listening with headphones and it sounds like the volume on the narrator and the soundtrack need to be swapped.
Agreed
I thought it was just me, LOL! Awful editing.
They did Ruth dirty, cooking the steak the one night she was out. 😂😂
She can just cheat them out of some of her best preservatives, jams, and jellies. Maybe keep some extra gin for herself 😉
Yeah, I was thinking dang, Ruth's going out for hours to work to make ends meet, likely still doing all the housework around her outside work time, and they have that kind of meal without her. Hope they saved her some, but expect they would have shown it if so. Kinda disappointed in Peter for just going eh, she's not here to monitor, so let's have a splurge.
I took a shot every time Ruth raised her eyebrows; I'm schnockered
Ruth is such a joy to watch. I love this channel!
How has the sound mixing gotten even WORSE than the previous episodes???
I feel old because I remember watching these episodes when they were on the TV :-) lol.
If looks could kill, Alex insulting that Fisherman's dingy was not a good idea. LoL,🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the most funniest episodes ever
1 The look of the fisherman when they ask him to use the lobster pot (you want to catch fish with this you peasants? Ok, will give it a try)
2 Ruth freaking out about the running water and iceboxes and molds.
3 The realisation of dealing with machines.
Too cute for words!
Liked and subscribed. Yes Ruth has got it down. Great content.
Alex and his cutting callous remarks re the Fisherman's row boat. It looks like it hurt him and I would have told him to stay ashore.
Ruth is lovely... love how she smile and laugh... lot love from italy
Just love Ruth and her team... all their guests are great too... every show she is in is just great
I love this series. Both with the 2 guys and the 1 lady. But also everyone else that works on this series year by year. I’m a English Canadian Jew from SW and Central England. And where they are is one county East of where some of my family came into Canada.
The vacuum cleaners were hysterical weren’t they. Did love the way you managed the bike Ruth.
