If this documentary doesn't beat people over the head about the importance of labor regulations and unions idk what will.

Tony Robinson is a national treasure. I'm pretty sure we all love him to bits.

Loved this. My 3x great grandfather was a London area pub owner in the Victorian era. Much to my delight I found a newspaper notice that he was fined for not pouring a full measure of alcohol!

There is never a history show that doesn't point out the many ways Henry VIII was a sociopathic serial killer.

At 1:16:42. The countryside wasn't getting crowded. Throughout the 1700s British landlords were enclosing huge tracts of land owned communally by villages and towns. Then they pushed peasants off this land. Once rural folk lost access to communal resources like forests and grazing fields, their impoverished lot got even worse. So they were FORCED to go to the cities for employment due to these Enclosure Acts passed by Parliament, legalizing this enormous theft of communal lands by the powerful landlords.

If the stories in this video don't make you realize just how easy you've got it... then your brain just doesn't work at all.

When people long for the 'good old days', imagining 'simpler times' they really don't know what they're talking about. Life was complicated and dangerous.

One of the things I love about the UK is how they study, preserve and promote their history. I’ve seen so many English documentaries that I think I know more of their history than my own. I love how there are experts in every aspect of life for every time period. I even saw one about wall paper, of course with a wall paper expert. Much love to the UK from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷

My MIL met Queen Elizabeth early in her reign. She said that Queen Elizabeth was very beautiful, and that photos really didn't do her justice.

Let's face it ... The majority of our lives are nihilistic, monotonous, and grim... I wake up to pretty much work to eat and look forward to sleep and regret having to wake up just to repeat the process... I feel like I'm living that Groundhogs movie sometimes

Horses don't eat straw, that is their bedding, horses eat hay.😊❤

"I'm working here in Glasgow! And I've got a decent job! I'm carrying bricks n mortar, and me pay is 15 bob! I get up in the morning, and I rise up with the lark! And when I'm walking down the street, you can hear the girls remark ! "

I've always wondered what life was like for the average person throughout all history. Ruth Goodman is a social historian who did a BBC TV series of fascinating and very illuminating programs in which she and fellow historians actually lived as if they were in various periods of English history-- for a YEAR at a time! I found the series here, on YouTube, though I am not sure it is still available. The first year was called "Tales From The Green Valley, " which is set in 1620. During this first season, they cannot live on the farm, but in subsequent years they do. While it does focus on country life rather than in the cities, it demonstrates and explains much of how people lived. I sometimes wish they would have done a comparable series about city life, too.

Next time people start whittering on about wishing they could live in the "good old days" they should watch this! Great show about the common people's lives in history!

Referring to Eleanor the Brewer: the phrase "mind your Ps and Qs" warns the pub-keeper to pour honest Pints and Quarts.

And today people born in the 90s are wailing like they are living in the worse time the other side of a phone.

WW-II ... my mother lived and worked in London all through the war. Her formal schooling ended when her school was bombed one night. So she then worked as a machinist fot the duration. Of course, that ended when the MEN came home and wanted their jobs back!
Her father served in the Royal Artillery in the First war. One of her brothers lived on Guernsey; his family house was a one end on the runway built ny the Luftwaffe. She got married in 1948, I arrived in 1949, followed in due course by my two brothers and my sister.

Tony on trains, digging up hidden secrets, painting a wall in white paint, he is always the man behind how the show stands out.
