When eating your biscuit, always choose the lesser of two weevils :P

"He's got a case of very bad acting." Oh my. That's terminal. He's a goner for sure. LOL

OMG, I can't believe his falsetto. THAT is the voice of an angel.

I wish they'd make more episodes in other places, like the worst jobs of the Vikings, or ancient Greeks etc..

I ran across one of these episodes as a related video to some other stuff I was watching. I was instantly addicted. Tony acts posh at times but he's actually pretty tough doing some of the things he does. Like things that involve heights. He admits that he has a fear of heights and yet will walk up the cables on a suspension bridge for inspection. Really cool. Fun and educational. Thank you Mr. Tony Robinson.

Strangely, many of the worst jobs of the Stuart and Georgian period sound worse to me than those of the Middle Ages.

Still here... Thanks my friend, so many years, watching WELL before all these new links came along. So many years... Thanks so much...

Almost every episode they make that poor man climb even though they know he's afraid of heights. The producers are just torturing him for our entertainment.

Hilarious - 'I work really hard' his little face and intonation. Love Tony he's hilarious

I love this series. Seen it before but well worth watching again. Thanks for the upload Sonic.

It's so interesting as well to find out how some of our expressions came to be.

Life was certainly cheap; especially the life of poor children. Fascinating that we have been able to survive our history. The fact that I'm alive says a hell of a lot about the guts and grit of my forebears, I suppose. Even a century ago, survival was a tough slog - even in so-called industrialized, progressive nations like the UK and USA. Most of our grandparents, great grandparents led hellish lives filled with hardship, insecurity and loss.

He is Apollo. He is Hercules. Uhhh, no. He's Baldrick.

Regarding the opera: god forbid that men would give a woman an operatic role, to sing those lovely high notes, oh no.

Worst job in history is manager of a Footlocker at the poor mall next to the abandoned Casino.

It is amusing how many phrases we still use today came from this era. "Bite the bullet" and "Show you the ropes" are just 2 examples

"A gravy of human detritus" is possibly the most disgusting description I've ever heard. It puts so many images in my head.

It's time Tony received a knighthood, for service to the entertainments,world. Hope you are watching HRH

I love that he is so game on for anything. I would have been weeping half way up those ropes. He is right to be proud of over coming his fear of heights.

I love watching this suffer. His reactions are hilarious!
