Some of the least pleasant employment opportunities open to people in the Middle Ages. Tony Robinson discovers how fullers spent their working lives stomping on newly woven cloth in vats of stale urine, while leech collectors risked infection by wading into marshes and letting the bloodsuckers cling to their legs.

It would be animal cruelty if it was done for no reason. They did this to demonstrate what people did in those times to cure their illnesses. These were people from a different time when these sort of animals were a lot more plentiful. If this wasn't something that was historical accurate I doubt he would have done this. He himself was surprised to see they were alive but that's how it was done.

@WillowTDog 3 жыл бұрын

@@odrankeane-teague1601 Seeing an animal killed slowly is not of any benefit in this situation. You could at least make the argument that some scientific studies might do something like this for a purpose, but almost every situation would be done differently in any study that was associated with any kind of organization. Just about any study can be done with less cruelty, so it isn't going to pass any sort of board. That's the only way to get the funding to run any kind of study. It is absolutely not necessary for a television show on history! Or anything, honestly. It doesn't add anything. It's literally a sign of sociopathy (to use the common term) to torture an animal, and what else is killing something with nerve endings and a brain slowly? Seriously.

I was watching their documentary on the Great Plague and it was stated that people who showed signs of the plague were "shut up" in their houses (along with any family members, plague-ridden or not, I might add). Someone hypothesised that this may be the origin of shut up as a derogatory term. So, I'm curious. (And too lazy to look things up apparently).

In reality, during wartime, the church and Ottomans behaved very similarly, except that the church really didn't take slaves while the ottamans would. Ancient warfare is very interesting as the base human interest are often more bare than modern days. Back then, they fought for money,land or status which we Now still do but hidden behind a " righteous" purpose.

Terrible sound editing and cameramen with an obsession for zooming in too far on everything.

Besides the few parts of audio this is great and very interesting to watch. It made me laugh seeing his reactions and the urine part cracked me up. Loved that he tried everything instead of just talking about it.

I dunno...I feel like the barber surgeon shouldn't be in this doc. Maybe to some people it would be considered a bad profession. But having the knowledge and expertise and the rights to use all those tools seems pretty badass. Sure the actual surgeries would be stressful to perform when your patient is screaming in agony, but telling people that you were the town barber AND town surgeon would be cool. He was probably popular at parties.

Actually, the barber was seem as someone quite disgusting, medicine wasn't seem as a higher kind of work like now, but they could get a good sum of money with some time and traveling.

I think your claim is fairly baseless, they have brains. When you poke them in the brain enough (or cut off their head) the eel stops exhibiting behavior. This seems to reason to me that some form of control of the behavior of the organism is centralized in their as evolved as our species' counterpart, yet far less complex central nervous system. Because we don't understand enough about how something like an experience is produced, I would not preclude the possibility that eels may suffer.

Tony Robinson, you are a brave man, and my admiration for you is boundless. Thank you for trying everything, including worms and fulling!

This is extremely interesting. I love videos like this thank you. And you're quite Brave to try all these things. I'm too squeamish. But I felt so bad for the animals horses in the beginning all those poor poor beautiful creatures down to the worms and the eel. I hate to see anything hurt. You're absolutely right though. Those have to be the worst jobs of all time. The architecture is amazing though. I'm a huge fan of English History. It's so colorful and so interesting.

I hate westerns for a boatload of reasons. I really don't enjoy most old movies, but westerns make the bottom of the list. Bad filming quality, strange acting and voicing, just to name a few reasons.
