PostPosted: Sat Oct 22, 2005 1:56 pm
Anyone else ever watch this English series when it aired on History Channel?
Basically what it was was going through different periods of English history
and highlighting the very worse possible jobs people would have held in those periods.The presenter(Tony Robinson)used a hands on approach as
with the help of experts he would try each job for himself.Some of them
were in fact very nasty.For example for the Victorian period one of the
jobs he explored was that of Ratcatcher.He literally had to reach in and
grab a rat that was hiding in some straw.
Of course unless you saw the one with the leeches...
