How To Follow Edwardian Etiquette | Time Crashers | Absolute History

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 เม.ย. 2021
- The Time Crashers are now servants at a country house in the year 1913 but their employers are not the cosy fantasy figures of 'Downton Abbey'. Housemaid Fern disgraces herself serving tea to the hatchet-faced lady of the house and Zoe Smith is summarily dismissed without a reference for refusing to pluck a pheasant. The boys also have a hard time having to run backwards and forwards to a hunting party with food, including a jelly that refuses to lie down.

The actress playing the lady of the house is amazing. The look of quiet fury on her face when the tea party was "ruined" deserves an award.
Seriously, the actors and actresses playing the "NPCs" and especially those in direct contact with the Time Crashers are awesome. Not one slipped up and broke character.
Aren't they well-known actors? I don't know them, but maybe they are known in the UK?
Haha, exactly the thought I had xD
She’s all over this channel and this is the first time I’ve seen her play this sort of character. She played it so well I didn’t even recognize her at first, I believe her name is Ruth
@@juliajs1752 If I had known you could play NPCs in real life. Relive time periods through documentaries. I would have taken History and/or Archeology in Uni.
Kind of sad that Time Crashers is only one season. I would have loved more of it. This is such a good show!!!
If you like this look up 24 hours in the past
Also you can take a look at turn back time series
@@rayskitten78 very good series!
Agreed! We want MORE please! 🤴🏽👸🏻🍻🏹⚔️🗝
Try the family, also on absolute history
Practicing the art of being invisible to the Edwardian English seems to be exactly the same concept as playing peekaboo with a 1 year old, the whole "if I'm not looking at you then you have disappeared"
Ha ha yep experienced that with every one of my grands. So cute though.
R.I.P. Kirstie 🙏🏽
it's kinda ironic they don't realize that they themselves are the modern equivalent to ladies and lords, being served to their every whim. Their assistants, chefs, and dog walkers are literally invisible to them as would footmen and maids etc.
their privileges appear massive as they try to become maids and servants, can't even pluck a chicken 😅 whereas in some places even killing chickens are still common, especially in some rural areas in some countries
It's a possibility that, off camera, one or more of them do realize that.
When people say they want to go back in time. They mean: I want to go back in time as a master, not a slave. ;)
Frankly, UK has the best TV shows on earth.
No, those masters and mistresses seem the mst miserable of anyone.
@@lilymarinovic1644 Highly agreeable. Miserable but rich.
@@wallflower1852 "Money won't buy you happiness, but it will buy you a kind of misery you can really enjoy...." 🤣
In terms of period pieces 100% agreed
Exactly
Them balancing the jelly cake had me weak! Mission impossible, indeed.
the giggling hehehe
It was torture! This jelly was made especially to make fools out of the servants (I thought)
@@ingeleonora-denouden6222 I thought the scene where one of the noble ladies rang for a maid to lift up a thingy this lady lost a few centimetres next to her feet was even more ridiculous / torturous in that regard.
@@ingeleonora-denouden6222 I've seen on historic cooking shows that jellies do seem to have been less solid back in the day for whatever reason....
@@kaitoffelkopf It was done deliberately actually. It would not have been a thing to call a servant for dropping something or picking up something so close and three of us ladies who are all historical re-enactors who really are specialists in that time period, did grumble about it privately. However, the film peeps wanted to show an "angle".
However, our reactions and that of the Lady of the house were absolutely spot on when Fern dropped the cakes down the side of the sofa. I was really having to hold in my laughter! It was funny!
Keith did a marvelous job playing the valet. Adapted so quickly when he heard the master of the house talking disparagingly about Emily Davison. I also loved Fern's insight about the war.
I think Zoey behaved immature and with no respect for the generations passed that actually had to do all the things she takes as a joke. If you sign up for this show then you know what's ahead of you. If your not ready to show respect to history and people why sign up?
exactly
Not to be offensive at qll, but being dark skinned, at the time she probably would have been treated worse.(not that that is actually justified mind you) but she had it really easy for what she could have experienced.
My thoughts exactly.
A scullery maid usually was as young as 11 or 12 years old. She would have been slapped and struck about because of being so young until she fell in line. She was also trying to fight of male servants and probably assaulted by male staff several times. If she got pregnant, yikes she would end up in the streets or worse, dead from trying to rid herself of the baby or starvation. A lot of servants could be lazy or not follow the rules. They got fired all the time.
@@kaycollarfeild I don’t think this is about race. Afterall Jermaine Jenas is half Afro-Caribbean/English with a brown complexion and was paid the most out of all the footmen.
This is about the fact that zoe on numerous occasions chose to not do the job that, in those days, if you were given that job, you would just do it… or starve.
She gave a big spiel about being an athlete e and not quitting yet she was happy to walk off.
And considering that this was a tv show, not real life… I mean come on…I’m sure they got paid to do this show.
Some of these people have never had a normal 9-5 job and it shows. Bosses rarely have good reasoning.
RIP Kirstie Alley
It's so evident that Kirstie Alley is a resourceful, humble, hard working person who did not grow up with a silver spoon.
Watching her juxtaposed against spoiled little Zoe is quite interesting!
Loving this show!
Zoe is an Olympian who happens to be squeamish...
I'm actual shocked how down to earth she was! Really changed my opinion of her.
RIP Kirstie Alley ❤️
Mrs. McMullen is back with a vengeance, we need a tag time with her and Mrs. Crocombe
The lady of the house really has that stern, strong nose and profile for the role. Absolutely intimidating
"It was the wibbly-ist jelly I've ever seen in my life!" Oh my god I am CACKLING
Not sure what it is exactly but Zoe’s affect throughout the show is so dismal and resigned it just aggravates me to see how easily she gives up when everyone else works so hard for such little in return. not even being acknowledge by the people they work for.
Well, realistically, the scullery maid was the lowest on the totem pole. It was mostly the scullery maids who quit in the actual Edwardian Era. There was another show just like this where TWO scullery maids quit the show because the work was too hard.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 she was asked to do it once. She didn't even try.
To be fair, she seems to have quite big case of phobia for animal carcasses/gore.
@@jenniferlawrence9473yes in The Edwardian Country House or Manor House as it was called in the US. The scullery maids didn’t last long and the poor kitchen maid had to do the extra work until they found the final replacement.
Such hard work for little in return. But to just survive in a bubble to live for people that didn't even acknowledge them. How sad. Thank you for the history lesson in how to appreciate what I have now.
The lord and lady looked hard and like they couldn't care less about the very people making their lives so cushy.
@@rabbitramenthe actors who played them did good portraying how it was
"I don't want to out shine m'lady"... I love Kirstie Alley! Lol!
PS- she is no longer a Scientologist for those who do not know. She fled the religion.
She was still a vocal Trump supporter, who donated 5 million to scientology.
She is still a Trumper.
I'm a "Trumper" ya nitwits lol!
@@resnonverba137 GOOD! 👏👏👏
@@joshmofromkokomo so are over 80 million adult Americans. Don't believe for a second that Biden was voted in fairly. WAKE UP!
41:03 "I think they've gone a bit hysterical." cuts to two grown men giggling hehehehe
I love this show! Really wish Zoe would try a bit harder she really let's everyone else down...
She didn't do shit the entire series
Yes she was annoying and lazy
If Zoe was the vegetarian one, l felt a bit sorry for her. I'm a meat eater and have struggled with butchering and plucking in the past, add in the moral factor and it must have been repulsive for her.
@@nikiTricoteuse she wasnt she said she eats meat at home
@@HallsofAsgard96 Ah. Thanks. I petty much lost track of who was who. I'm in Aotearoa so don't really recognise most of them. 🙂
Zoe is determined to be a lady of the night in every time period.
Could you imagine if that was in her family tree?! It’s got to be in someone’s hasn’t it?
Fun, I'll have to look for her now :)
I work in healthcare. We don't get to pee or eat either. She reminds me of every shitty lazy coworker I've ever had.
@@pfft8858 sorry?
So because you accept deplorable working conditions, everyone else should to? If everyone thought like you, we'd still be working 14 hour shifts for peanuts. Also, as someone who works in "healthcare" you should know that constantly holding in pee will only cause you issues in the long term.
RIP Kristie Alley ❤️
Why is Zoe even in this if she’s not going to try, they should know what they’re signing up for..
Because this is a TV show and in life every one doesn't do what they are told. Remember, she is also young. It makes the program more interesting. There were a lot of lazy servants who either got by or sacked. Life went on.
@@stephanieoliver8634 Spot on Also, The film people ALWAYS have an "angle" (this is the "Entertainment" side!).
Even us re-enactors, though we pointed out the Lady of the house unless **really** vile, was not going to be pointedly "rude" to the servants. Us "Ladies" at the tea party were asked to constantly ring for the servants to pick up the a book or a handkerchief that was cms from us. It wasn't likely this ever happened but thats what the film people wanted. They didn't expect cakes to fall down the 18th century original sofa though! :-)
I teared up when Greg did, the emotions he felt were so touching.
I now have a better understanding of why so many young men were eager to enlist in the British Army and embrace the exciting adventure of the First World War! Great and interesting series, I wish more episodes had been made. So sad that Kirstie Alley has past away. 17:44
This documentary isn't accurate in any way of the period. Look to something like Manor House which was made in 2001. It is highly accurate.
Kirstie was always a beautiful woman and a favorite actress of mine. She knuckled down in every one of these episodes in getting dirty and suffering all the hardships better than most of the celebrities and she always displayed a down-to- earth personality. RIP Kirstie.
You can bet that none of these fat cats at the shooting party would last a minute in a muddy, lice and rat infested Western Front trench.
@@rabbitramen I always liked Kirstie Alley, from Star Trek to Cheers and beyond. Excellent versatile actress and a beautiful lady. What I mostly and what I loved about her was she was just a normal down to earth and kind human being., and that’s what’s makes me sorry for the loss.
I can see that too even just out of spite like : Now there is a opportunity to bee seen and show the snops what we can do
I don’t care what era she’s in, Kirsty Alley is absolutely beautiful!
I can't believe she was 65 in this! She looks amazing!!!
@@kaylamarie1796 No, she looks 65. What makes her amazing is that she is perfectly comfortable about it and is growing older as nature intended and not with a face like a Barbie doll. If you feel comfortable in your skin you will always be beautiful. You won´t need a mountain of gloop as a young woman to prove it either
She was one of the most sensible of the women and seemed to really want to get stuck in as accurately as possible. Sadly I didn't see her when I was one of the Ladies at the Tea Party.
some of her best work!
Zooey is such a bratty baby. She clearly grew up pampered without chores and responsibilities. What spoiled child behavior!!
The socialite woman literally said she grew up never having to do anything and she STILL did more than Zoey
If Zoe is so determined to be a lady of the night they should make an episode about how truly terrible their lives were.
In this time period, Zoey with her insolence would have been fired before her first hour was half finished and of course her future has already been mapped out.
When the boys were carrying that dessert I could not stop laughing!!
I so badly want a behind the scenes! Or a quick from the perspective of the fancy people summery episode.
Hi! I was there! I was one of the Ladies at the Tea Party. It was lovely filming, though we were not close to the Celebs. We did have I think it was Kirsty Alley walk past us in the morning just as we were all about to get our hair done (which was amazing! I have lovely photos of mine and two of the other ladies hair - we are all re-enactors). However, we were asked to be silent, and Kirsty was blindfolded as she was walked past. When she and any of the other celebs were having their makeup/dress/hair done they were blindfolded at all times and remained so till they were positioned in the first scene to be filmed.
I will say us ladies were not "obnoxious" - we were expected to do the silly things because the film peeps wanted a specific angle. However, Fern dropping the cakes was not planned AT ALL. And our reactions were genuine and real - and would have been in the time period.
It was hilariously funny! If you want to ask any other questions, feel free.
@@myladyswardrobe I don't want to ask you anything, I just want to say that I envy you. I mean, I wouldn't want to live in those harsh and trying times, especially given what a lazy ass I am, but I would sign up for such a reenactment at once. I'm a 41 years old dude from Romania and I wouldn't want to reenact my country's history, but I would sign up for a Victorian era reenactment. I can't explain why (cause I have no idea why) but I find that era so fascinating, and I absolutely love medieval fashion (women's dresses in particular), and the goth / steampunk fashions, too. Just.... amazing stuff. You've been so lucky to have starred in one of these shows :(
when i was young we had to ask "may i leave the table please?" and that was in the '70s
And?
That's really nice. 🙂
That didn't happen at my house, however there was a family I used to stay with sometimes, and their children were taught to ask this as well.
This would've been in the early '90s.
So the footman used to be chosen for his height and good looks, yet they cast the tallest and a fairly handsome guy (not to take anything from other men here) as a hall boy. Also they employ him to empty the chamber pots and carry water upstairs, which as a matter of fact wasn't a task of the hallboy, but of a youngest girl servant in the household (not the scullery made, that was yet another servant).
Exactly what I was saying to myself. The hallboy is taller than them all!
They give the worst jobs to the athletes. There seems a celebrity hierarchy going on here.
@@eringalin2075 I noticed that, too, The weight lifter and the Olympian almost always get horrible jobs, or get put at the lowest rungs of the social ladder. What gives?
@@venus_envy they're probably the only ones with the physical strength to do the really hard graft.
@@venus_envy i noticed that too - seems unfair
I would love to experience this. Wonderful. I knew from the first episode of Downton Abbey that life in service was not as cozy as they depicted it on the program.
That jelly existed just to torment the boys
that was my thought too
I just love the concept of this show, we need more history shows like it as I've learned so much so far. I can't wait to see the rest of this short series! :)
I yes! We need much more of such history lessons! I totally agree!
Have you seen the Edwardian/Victorian/Wartime Farm Series'? There are other periods too, but I can't remember them. They're absolutely worth the time and I learned so much.
@@AnotherWittyUsername. No I don't think I have. 🤔 I'll have to check it out.☺️
@@AnotherWittyUsername. they were so good weren't they. Too bad they were so short too. Boy Ruth sure cleaned up so pretty in the Wartime series. Wartime Farm I believe it was called.
I wish here in the states. We had this programming. Well done ✅
Hey j d - are you from the truth channel's? Got some pizza? 😂🍕, if you're not (but sure you are), we have the most brilliant punishment for AD ; a time capsule, he could whine all he wanted and he'd have no sub's to listen to his BS. 😂, if you're not the same j d just ignore me. 😂🤣😅, but hope you are. 💜💜💜💜
No one would do this in america that are actual celebrities
It is the kind of reality TV I could be enticed to watch.
PBS has done something similar a long time ago. Ranch House and Colonial House.
It's true. American tv is nothing but crap.
The jelly part was hilarious. This is such a fun show
i think i have a crush on the red headed gentlemen
absolutely love this show. it explains a lot of unspoken rules I need to learn when I was a kid. the hierarchy inside a family is never changed.
So glad that I was raised in an era where I was taught to treat our house keepers with love and respect!
9:53 that’s nicer than half the bedrooms and dorms I’ve ever had 🤣
@Digby Dooright I like your user name. Cheers.
I do have some sympathy for Zoe’s squeamishness(not her attitude though). I’ve plucked chickens, as a child, among many, many food preparation tasks. However, I’ve always said if I think too hard about where my meat comes from, I’d be vegetarian!
I was surprised to see the valet working the shooting party. I think he’d be more likely to be attending to his master’s clothes for the evening etc.
Also, that’s a very low number of servants for such a house. They made a miserly display standing in line outside. I’d expect at least double that number
That's precisely why you should think hard instead of shutting your brain off. Thanks for the pandemic, carnist. :)
Yes, there would be a lot more servants for that time period and manor house. More servants showed more wealth.
I'm only three episodes into this playlist and as an American who is watching these shows for the first time and only getting to know these people for the first time, I absolutely LOVE Fern XD she is so sweet, chatty, and wonderful lol!
You should watch the Robin Hood series!! The one with the Armstrong brothers in it. Keith Allen plays the evil sheriff and he's awesome!!!
The slow demise of that jelly thing was amusing. What an impractical thing to carry such a distance. 😂
"...Zoe's get up and go and has got up and gone." LOL
One thing I've loved is the team work and effort from most of the members.
Gosh. I would have loved to take part in such project! Really experiencing a piece of history is so authentic compared to just reading about it. Why is Zoe there, her attitude is so immature. Expecially considering the fact that this isn't even for real.
Y'all have no idea how hyped for this episode I have been.
it's lit fam
REAL
Your username!
the jello mold incident was absolutely hilarious. reminded me of the jello mold skit in faulty towers all over again!
I guess we know why the “servant class” stopped doing this work after the world wars. Prior to that the serf class left their lives when they had the chance.
Not necessarily. Up until World War I being a servant was considered a highly honorable occupation, and considering what life on a farm or in a factory or mine could be like, there was no shortage of people who wanted to enter service.
The servant class dwindled with the advent of electric household appliances, but these appliances were made necessary due to the death toll of World War I.
@@purrdiggle1470 not all over Europe. If your parents ‘rented’ the farm from some lord and you had the misfortune to be the eldest daughter you had to serve in the ‘big house’ at least for a year or two. Only chance to leave before the two years would be an engagement (because the local priester would get involved if deemed a ‘good match’) or you had ‘a calling’ (becoming a nun) and a younger sister who could replace you. It was considered a ‘duty to one’s parents’ not some ‘escape’ from a factory. The only reason my grandmother (Born in 1904) escaped serving in ‘the big house’ as a scullery maid: being the only child Of parents who only after 15 yrs of marriage got a living infant. Being an only child, my great-parents could afford to hire dayworkers who could replace the ‘missing Sons And daughters’ in the fields and sent my grandmother to school. She became a typist And ‘telephone girl’, thus meeting a white-collar man outside the little village. Her being an only child was the start for my family to raise themselves from the fate of little farmers with 10+ children.
@@ikkelimburg3552Where was this? I've studied a lot of English social history, but I've never heard of this requirement for daughters to work as maids before. To be honest, it sounds like a bad deal for the owner of the house. Why would you want a farm girl, who may be an undesirable worker, in your house? Wouldn't it make more sense for the employer to choose the maid who was prettiest and with the best references? Rather than being stuck with a constantly rotating body of servants who don't know what they're doing, aren't invested in their work or moving up the ladder eating your food and potentially stealing the silver?
Oh, I love this kind of reality show! It's educating and fun! But, I'm not lying when I said it's painful to watch lol. That jelly scene is so hilarious and painful at the same time :")))
Urgh, she can't even pluck some feathers? Even tho she eats meat? It's too bad that people have a little knowledge about how their food come from. Maybe if you know more about it, you can appreciate your food more. I'm not even a servant and we are grateful we're not a poor family. But sometimes we raise our own food source like chicken etc, do something about it whenever we will cook it (like plucking the feather, etc). It's good to not always get processed food from the supermarket and has a fresh food instead. I guess not all people can do it...
I know right. Like...I wanna plunk some feathers!!
I wonder where I went wrong with the 'knowing more about your food, so you can appreciate it' thing. I learned more about meat, figured out that I was a hypocrite for eating it since I would never want to skin an animal or anything like it and became a vegetarian XD
@@avideostarworldwillemijn8066 Many people just buy the processed one in the supermarket or just buy the cooked one like in restaurant without knowing where their food comes from. It's not wrong tho to buy the packed or cooked one. My point is better to know your food too like how it comes, where it comes, and add some knowledge about it. When you know more about it, you can appreciate more about your food like how hard it is to raise animal, how the farmer's hardwork can supply you with some meats, etc. You will be thankful about your food when you have awareness about it. Ofc it doesn't only apply in meat, but other food too like vegetable, rice, dairy product, etc.
@@sarisari4521 Well said.
I grew up on a farm where we processed and I say that because the other word is so cringing. I actually forgot how to cut them up. But I agree 100%.
I can't wait for the Georgian farm episode thanks for uploading these! We need more shows like this.
This series is fantastic. I laughed so hard with the dessert transportation.
NEVER have i been more TENSE than while watching the jelly at 39:30
I really like this series. Zoe should have tried or at least have thought about what would be expected prior to signing up.
They were basically wage slaves. I am so glad we have the workplace rights we do today. The individuals who protested these conditions suffered tremendously just because they wanted to be treated with basic human dignity and I think they need to be honor for their sacrifices. I am not blind to the fact that the idea of "knowing your place" was normal during these times so it makes those who stood up even more amazing because they broke free from the social conditioning or brainwashing of the society they were born into.
At least they had jobs!! We won't have jobs soon... Just saying, robots will do all of our jobs... I don't want to be bored
@@ashleelarsen5002 if work is the only thing you can occupy your time with or you'd otherwise be bored, I'd recommend finding a hobby or two and a life pursuit and nurturing relationships. If implemented right (key phrase), its a good thing for robots to take up certain jobs so regular people can pursue artistic and other passions that's always been limited to nobility and ultra rich in the past
I feel for Zoe. Looking at a dead animal can be a shock to the system, but it does feel hypocritical knowing that she eats meat at home. This is where it comes from, love. And this time around she didn’t even have to cut it open.
If she had plucked the birds, afterwards she would have to cut them open and take the guts out (etc.)
I understand a bit where she was coming from this day and age you kind of forget how meat ends up in our kitchens you buy it already prepared in a supermarket so you don’t really think about how it’s come to that so to be faced with a dead animal meat eater or not you would find it uncomfortable and find it hard because your seeing it as an animal that was alive once and not just meat on a plate I don’t think I’d be comfortable with it but saying that I would still try to give it a go just for the experience and it would make you appreciate it a little more
Overall I did too. While I think that at times Zoe could have rolled with it a bit better, she said later in the series that she was not much on domestic tasks and wanted to be outside doing what the guys were doing. Unfortunately women didn’t do as many of the tasks that required strength and being outdoors at that time. Zoe’s talents simply would not have been valued in a woman living at that time. Besides, being a scullery maid was a really thankless job. I can understand her frustration.
I have to commend Zoe on her efforts in this episode.
She absolutely mastered the art of being invisible.😂
What is that hallboy doing going to sleep? Doesn't he have boots to shine by morning?
I miss these little history shows
in a past life, he was a Valet to the man of the house. Like he just looks natural and acts like it. There is a tie there that his soul has done that job excellently at one point of its long life.
Maybe or it could be his life experiences
When the jelly broke I just couldn't - so funny literally crying here :D
I get Zoe was being immature straight away but I understand why she was reluctant to work with dead animals too, but then she shouldn’t have done the show because in the past there was a lot of death and animals
They are awesome! But also lets acknowledge the wonderful actors ghat played their role so perfectly😆
Here here 👏🏽👏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
13:46, senior servants were served their food, like those were, the servants serving just ate scraps, but you might get promoted up to senior servant in time.
This show needs more view ❤
I think they need to change the thumbnail. I didn't know what kind of video is it before I opened it. Because the thumbnail looks the same as other videos that just explaint about history, not experience it.
Lol I love Kirstie 😂
I love this type of documentary!!! Keep them coming!!
Mrs. McMullen makes the return! YES!
Where was the cook? While head housekeeper was the highest ranking female staff member, few housekeepers of the time would have dared cross the cook.
They forgot the cook! My friend was the cook in the 1913 episode and had her scenes "forgotten".
@@myladyswardrobe Shows like this don't really serve any purpose. It would take at least several months in a historic setting to really get an idea of what reality was like.
Zoe was incredibly frustrating to watch. She’s lucky those people in the past made such sacrifices for her life today. But Greg on the other hand was an inspiration!
Overall, this was a humbling watch. I’m not only thankful for the time I live in, but I’m determined to work hard like Greg, and not give up with a whimper like Zoe.
Rest in peace Kirstie
We need a season 2 of this show
kirstie is sooo funny
I love Greg the Hall boy 🤣
The jello part 🤣🤣
I’ve never had so much anxiety over frikking jelly
I have a lot of weird food stuff. I couldn’t imagine having meals made such a big deal of and having people standing around watching you, hovering, and waiting to chew your food for you. I’d insist on taking every meal in my room.
It's a social thing. The servants would have been like your table, just part of the furniture from infancy on, you wouldn't know any better. Besides that, eating with one's guests or as a guest allows a show of table etiquette, helps in maintaining social status, and is just good manners, it would be social suicide to eat alone in that setting.
I always take pleasure in the fact that everything they ate would have been Stone Cold. By the time it got to some distant dining room or field. I also hope none of it arrived unadulterated. ' Pee-sorryGravy sir ? Do yo uwant phlegm.sorry, Cream on your apple pie?' Lol
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 Your comment was messed up. You could make people really sick. You wouldn't like it if people got revenge on you when you're not perfect either. The noble men weren't mean. Look at comments on the Night of the Consumers gameplay. Some modern customers bully workers too.
My comment was messed. up. Says someone quoting a computer game As for 'the noblemen weren't mean' that is just Sooo Funny. Have a happy life licking their boots serf! When you drop by the Real World, give us a call,.
They were all brilliant ( except Zoe ) but I'm just wondering why Greg was the hall boy instead of the footman..he clearly seemed the tallest, and the most handsome 😉 IMO...
In the time period a hallboy would have been the youngest member of the male staff. It was an entry-level job the way scullery maid was for females.
Ummmm... What kind of show did Zoe think she was going on??? 😂
I've been a subscriber to the channel, but barely watched. Until a recent rainy day, I'm addicted.
I'm pretty sure if I was a servant back then, I would have been shot.
You would have done what you had to do to stay alive and feed your family. Lots of black people say that now about slavery but we had to survive. Everyone wasn't a Fredrick Douglas or a Harriett Tubman. Reality is, we would have done what was necessary to stay alive.
@@meganshort5550 True enough. I'm still pretty sure I would've been shot. 🤭
Did i see kirstey alley? She’s from my hometown and a couple years older than me.
I love this series, the intro always gives me chills.
I would be sacked straight away Im too clumsy and laugh with my nerves
I'd be sacked because I have no poker face. Every time I'd think something was stupid it'd show on my face. You'd get fired, and I'd get fired for questioning authority when I'd look at them like "But why? She can't help it." Lol
@@rachelg9873 good job we weren’t from them times then.. we probably be destined for the workhouse or jailed for being useless 😆

i love this series so much
Love this program it’s educational and very refreshing from our norm these days!
turning to the walls... this is strict
yay been dying for this next episode to appear.
Wow....really puts things into perspective today and what we should be grateful for. Cliche I know but wow. A simple pencil and paper to communicate with loved ones where as today its the push of a button.
I really like the valet, he's getting on so well, just rolling with it.
Thanks for the look back in time
Awesome show
Zoe, considering what she does, is always really not good at these jobs. Like in every episode. I mean, have some strength. Ironic, I know.
To be fair, in that time Zoey would have been acclimated more to "dirtier" things, and likely would have developed a resistance to such squeamishness.
Zoe

Is she a vegan, or at least a vegetarian? That's the only reason I'd understand her being upset over plucking birds.
@@DarkLadyJade No, she isn't. If she were, it would be no excuse. The animal was dead.
This was awesome ❤️
I just love this series ❤️🤩
