It is so endearing to see Tony get that genuinely excited by splitting that enormous stone block! In a day when too often people feel like they have to be sarcastic or clever about everything, it's great to see someone like this. He does everything, even though he's scared of heights. Other than that scene with the eel, I really like this series.

One of the most captivating medieval documentaries I've seen. Incredible presentation, kept my damaged millenial attention span full time. Love the energy of the presenter
THANK YOU ALL so much for making these freely available. More docs like this should be open to all (even if it’s not immediately after they’re released).
My uncle had all 4 fingers of one hand cut off in an accident in the early 1970’s. He had leeches applied to the end of his fingers after they were reattached just as explained in the first part of this show.
This is truly one of my favorite documentaries on UA-cam. I love the medieval times, it is just one of the most interesting things in the world for me.
Valid thought. Personally, I think that would rather depend on if the person in question has time in their life for that sort of analysis, and also on if they themself subscribe to the toxic positivity notion that all life is a wonderful gift, instead of realizing it's something that just happens to us and we have no say in. I'm often thoroughly impressed when I reflect historically, but I just as often find myself wondering if there was less religion brainwashing people, more access to reliable birth control, and women had been given more rights over their own bodies.... how different the world would now be....
I really, really hope mister Robinson is well payed for all the pains and efforts he had to pass through, in order to show us how difficult life was in those days. We take for granted all we have today ignoring the struggles of the people in those times. Very interesting video.
HEHEHE, we love you TONY. thanks a lot for your work on these series, so much fun and so interesting with you as our host. UK's dirty jobs for sure, but in so many ways we always thought about in the past. What was it really like. your daily life sort of series on these time periods is quite wonderful. I love this series. Cheers, Tony! Thanks.
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.
@@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.
@@joannawojcik7125 How many roaches in your home have you summarily executed? How many stray cats have you ignored in the streets and left to die? Isn't that animal cruelty too? You're cruuuel!
Guy Faulkes Indeed! I turned down the audio and turned on closed captioning, the latter being rather humorous - whatever program was used did not always understand what was being said!
the commitment of this guy is amazing. when he get into a bowl of urine i thought to myself: "Do you really need to do it? If you did not do it, and just told that this is how they did it, i would still think it's a great show!". but i guess he wants it to be as realistic as possible. i wonder whether he was happy when his producer said: "And in the next episode, we will film you walking in 20L of urine that me and the rest will produce!".
I remember finding a leech on my leg once when I got home when I was 6 or so. Freaked me the f*** out when I peeled it off in confusion and blood just started pouring everywhere! I didn't feel it and it had clearly been there awhile... No idea where I got it.
Well so long as you don't have a cunning plan. A plan more cunning than a fox that's just been appointed professor of cunning at Oxford University. I think Tony will let it go.
Love Tony! I love learning about history in the trenches, the real people who worked in horrible/dangerous jobs to feed their family, that is if they even got paid, usually only a few coppers a day. I'll never complain again if I have to pick up dog poo.
I love how the word "delving" has stuck around, coming from the medieval quarries where it meant getting into the deeper part of the stone until now where it means digging deeper into any subject, e.g. "Let's delve into this area a bit deeper and try to understand." I'm a bit of a word nerd, so things like that always fascinate me. Look up the story of flipping someone the middle finger and saying "F you" for a very good tale!
Interesting. Do you perhaps know where the term "shut up" comes from? 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).
"Oh no...come on. This is the safest machine we have ever made. But we made only one!" Hahaha, great words of encouragement there from the wheel crane gentleman.
I watched it because the subject matter interests me but the dismal sound editing made it difficult to hear what the narrator was saying. There's nothing wrong with pointing that out. One should expect better from a professionally-produced and televised documentary.
He understands that the human would be in pain having his hand cut off without anaesthetic...but is incapable of understanding that the eel would be in equal pain having his head cut off.
Watching that creature writhing in agony and suffering like that and to hear 'he will struggle' was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen on UA-cam and I love these videos and Tony Robinson. Not this one.
@@PainlessTrader-h1u Someone's jelaous. No they weren't. They were caused by Fall of Roman Empire. The Fall of Constantinopole happened long after the start of Dark Age. No one can help you that you were literally destroying the good things the Romans gave you, while Muslims were gathering any knowledge they could get and using them for inventions that form the base of modern technology.
@@fisebilillah4406 , Constantinople fell at the END of the Middle Ages (1453 to be exact, meaning the Roman Empire survived for another 1000 YEARS) because of...... MUSLIIIIIIMMMSSSS!!!!!, what's more, Europeans also preserved Greco-Roman knowledge during the Middlw Ages in Monasteries and Universities funded by the Church. Muslims didn't preserve them because they were Muslims, they probably just stumbled on it while trying to conquer what's left of the Roman (inaccurately called Byzantine) Empire and then preserved it while trying to destroy the civilization that made them. Europeans began to preserve them probably before Charlemagne. What's more, the Roman Empire was still there (The West just hated them when a woman ruled the Romans so they made their rip-off) so there was nothing to preserve in the first place (except for some reason we did).
@@PainlessTrader-h1u while Muslims did attack, the west church and ottamans were at war for centuries. The dark age britons focused their technological advancements on different areas than say Aztecs or Ottomans. 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.
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.
Okay, granted the ammonia from stale urine made the woolen cloth softer and finer, but just who was it in history who was one day wearing a piece of rough cloth and thought "Hang on, I wonder what would happen if I trod some stale pee into this for several hours?"
The video is called "The worst Jobs In History: Middle Ages" and thats what I've seen in it. I was quite entertained after watching this and I find it interesting, I dont know what you expected, according to the name.
They want to make history "interesting", so they're highlighting the more intimidating angles of it. Which sometimes means telling half the story... and letting the audience decide!

Being a fuller, during the mid-evil period had one draw back. Your neighbors always knew you were around by the smell of your perfume-od to pee- haaahhhh, hahh. Great video, keep up the great work.
Jobs would still be that bad, but for those noble pioneers and their cunning plans... (I'm depressed at how few people are likely to get that reference)
Hahaha, that barber/surgeon guy is a riot! The enthusiasm with which he proclaims 'It didn't work, but they did it anyway!' is beyond hilarious.
