The worst jobs in history

Wouldn't it be cool to have a history show fascinating and full of information that just so happened to correspond with what you were reading in the history books?

Sure, and if I actually played it at the right time you would have to check and see if aliens came and replaced me!

Ah well even playing it at the wrong time is fascinating, and trying to figure out which show is supposed to be next is a great review of the kings and queens of England.  (or you could cheat and go to wiki)

A British show the Worst Jobs in History covers all kinds of jobs.  Tony Robinson narrates and tests out lots of jobs across all of history starting from the roman times and working till the Victorian era.  After that they focus more on particular trades, like Maritime .

I just go to youtube and search for the episodes, but you might be able to watch some on channel 4.

Warning plenty of the shows focus on the gross jobs, and of course the worst are those dealing with the human output.
