I’d love to see other seasons of these be made! Even other locations and whatnot… seriously, Kristie Alley has won my respect! Not that she cares, but that woman just keeps a positive can-do attitude in each of these!!!
Zoe's "I should've been a boy" statement really brings home how much these people must have suffered from their enforced segregation between men and women. I wonder how much they missed from not letting a dextrous man do "women's work", or a strong woman do "men's work".
Maybe so.. but I'd be willing to bet that Zoe's case she wouldn't have been saying that she wished she was a boy when she realized she wasn't going to "play with the animals" but be cleaning shit off their backsides as well as shoveling literally a ton of shit out of the court yard. She actually walked out of her job in the previous episode bc she refused to pluck feathers off of 3 birds for crying out loud. Idk.. maybe I'm wrong.
If you watch fact feast's channel, there are tonnes of examples in the 19th century of women doing the work of men. The poorer you were, the less division by sex in labour there was (besides reproductive labour, which can only be done by women, obviously). These kinds of shows emphasize the rules that were supposed to be imposed on women, but in reality they weren't always. Women worked in mines, even when it was made illegal, they shovelled street muck, they hauled stone, they kneaded dough, everything. If work needed to me done and there wasn't enough men to do it, or no men, women stepped in. It wasn't considered ideal, but it was the done thing.
@@aironiversen9214 Imagine you are assigned a job based on a characteristic that has no bearing on the qualifications for the job. Blue eyed and you are confined to kitchen. Brown eyed and you are assigned to outside work. For some, the job will be a good fit and for others, not so much, yet if they complain they are told there is something wrong with them and they should just do the job as assigned.
I would totally sign the waver that they aren't guilty if I ever get hurt in the show so I wouldn't sue them. Which I wouldn't anyway but it would be necessary for others.
And no matter what century they're in the one thing that remains the same is that the poor always had it the worst. Those women had to do all that work and not get paid a cent. Outrageous.
I love this show. This is my type of "reality" show. Learn something about history, learn a little bit more about people you've seen and their skills, but everyone is nice (and not in a fake way) and there isn't any cattiness. It's not about showing people at their worst and watching train wrecks happening. No shame if that's you're thing, it's just always made me really uncomfortable. I don't find it entertaining.
For anyone who loved this show, there was an almost identical show that came out the same year called 24 hrs in the past. Give it a go if you are sad this show was cut short, youll get 4 more episodes of similar adventures.
I thought she was vulgar on the last part. Also, she lied. She likes other things cause you can see her get dressed up like many other celebs. Also, wouldn't she miss acting since she's was a actress? So she likes other things too. In these past eras, she might have been poor and unable to afford to be a actress. She was put in the roles and jobs of poor people. At the end of the series she said she enjoyed doing this but would not want to do it again. So she wanted to return to her modern and wealthy life. So she was dishonest.
You all missed a major thing here, Indentured servants, children laborers were common before the 19th century. One farm, Inn, Tavern or a small Bakery could have had four or five of them buggers aged seven to 15 years old doing all the hard work. Yes sir 24/7, 14 to 16 hours per day, all got rooms and meals to pay off debts of their parents. Sometimes under extreme working conditions likewise.
Oysters and lobsters were a poor man's food because they ate them dead, so they tasted bad. It was only when it become customary to keep them alive for longer when they became tasty food. Roman elites were really into oyster farming.
where my dad grew up in Nova Scotia, lobster was used as fish bait. Even salt cod was worth so mucg more than lobsters, but lobsters took almost nothing to catch. Only the poor kids took lobster sandwiches to school for the lunch and that was often him.
@@YouViolatedTheNAP Eating the same thing over and over gets boring, no mather how good. And they probably had no means or idea of how to cook them properly for best taste and texture.
victorians did smile in pictures just not that often it took a while for the picture to be taken so they usually kept a straight face just imagine trying to hold a smiley for a long time
What I don’t understand is these people signed up to do this and Chris whines about the hard work and leans on his pole a lot. If he’s not into it why do it? Oh and Kirstie is AWESOME! What a joy to watch and she’s into her role to the hilt!
Zoe was just an ANNOYINGLY useless whinging “ dead weight “ who had to be lifted and carried through by her team mates… Has she no work ethic? No integrity ? No loyalty or team spirit ,? No pride or dignity? Her attitude is very POOR.
"Signing up" for something and being explicitly informed of each individual task to be undertaken are two completely different things altogether. That's a really slap dash way to analyse it that you've done there.
1885, my Grandfather is 4 years old and living on a farm in Hunterdon County New Jersey. Born in Germany, his older brother and sister Emigrated with their mother to meet up with their father who came prior. Yes I knew him and I'm 64. So not to long ago. My 4th Great Grandparents on another branch were fish mongers in London England but settled in Dover New Hampshire in 1623 hence my LOVE of the sea and seafood. Live in Portsmouth N.H..
This episode should have been Zoe's era. I was actually optimistic when they sent her out into the boat, because I thought a good, hard, physical task would help her shine. She's always carrying on about how she wishes she was a boy, and how she loves physical work, so I thought "perfect! Get her rowing." But she even failed at that. The editors were kind to her. They show her taking over the oars and then the next shot is the boat drifting back to shore, and Chris taking over rowing again. So far the only task she hasn't failed at is gathering and carrying seaweed. A task that requires a lot of strength but no skill or co-ordination.
Why on Earth didn't the historians have the ladies fold their skirts up instead of dragging them? I've seen literally dozens of photographs of 19th century fish wives and they all have folded skirts.
As if they know. They were thrown into the job with no prior knowledge. Imagine you were thrown into a butler serving Queen Vic! You don't even know which silverware is which. And if I were thrown into farming, I'd lose my grains and have migrains
It’s simply a lack of problem solving skills. I would have hitched up and tied up my skirts within my belt in the first five minutes. Addendum: Perhaps they did it for dramatic effect…because the women DID hitch up their skirts. Gods, Zoe is useless ..a total DEAD WIEGHT …How ironic eh?
The way I see it is that either the strength of muscles or of the wit is nothing in a situation of crisis if it's not paired with a strength of character, discipline and dedication. And that is something I am missing in Zoe and Chris. I wouldn't want to be stranded on a deserted island with any of them, because they would just fail me and die miserably, taking me with them to an early grave. They proved their uselessness and incompetence to perform or even to begin to undertake the easiest tasks in more than one episode and let their colleagues down repeatedly. What I'm missing in this episode is the actual confrontation with the part of their life they'd live after hours - their living conditions, the beds, or the lack of them, they's sleep in, cooking and hygiene appliances etc. They only made it through the work shift, but we learned nothing about their house quarters.
if they wanted us to see how people truly lived and did these jobs in these times, they would have hired experts for each position. What we're seeing isnt some authentic life of the past. Its how we, people of the 21st century, would do in these times. Not everyone will be ok with the jobs. So a mix of people able to do it, and those not able to is a good mixture of representation. I think the show you're looking for is naked and afraid. Absolute History has some episodes with true experts at work as well.
@@aj-sz8mu You have a point, if anything, perhaps they could have gotten a cast that wasn't 90% celebrity, like have Doug from the local Burger King or what-have-you. Still, a fun and informative show, we in the modern era tend to romanticize the past (the good old days), Like the Edwardian age is seen as a grand spectacle full of marvelous inventions and extravagant pageantry (Titanic for example), we give little thought to the hard brutal realities that were the true "bedrock". In my own case, I may complain about my job but compared to the jobs these guys get, my 30-35 hour work week is an absolute breeze.
I feel like some folks are overly negative about them, especially Zoe. In a population of people not every single person is the same and I feel like that is represented well on this show. Zoe did a good job this episode. The only part she failed at was rowing a boat. That is a skill, especially in an ocean against the current. That was a task most people would have failed at if they never tried, especially under pressure and fatigued. What we see on this show is people with a variety of skills, some people come in with more farm/culinary skills than others, some are quicker learners than others, and that is pretty true to life. Calling someone useless is really drastic and hurtful. I don't think it's necessary here, it's just an educational TV show.
I used to work as a logger (in forestry) the conditions were pretty similar to this. Cold mud, mud, and more mud. I'm just glad I didn't have to wear a dress and I got paid well.
she's the only reason why I don't want to continue to watch the show, after her drama on preparing a boar's head and a bird.. should booted out if she refuses to do anything that they tell her
I feel so bad for her. She's obviously SUFFERING from a phobia, and should seek treatment. Most of us will face this issue in our lifetime ourselves - and many of us already know what it feels like. She deserves our empathy.
Weirdly enough, here in the Philippines a big portion of our provincial towns still do this but the fish we just saok them in salt and sun/air dry them for easily frying.
19:50 - because propriety was more important to the bigoted society than practical issues. When the wide, middle- and high-class society learned that women working in coal, slate and other mines (yes, they performed subservient functions under the ground, pretty much like mules did), were rather scantily clad during their work (not even remotely as scantily as modern beach goers, but yeah) what the public was most horrified with was not the laughably meager pay they received or the horrifying conditions they worked in, no - what was most shocking for nicely clad, well-off and sated people who never had their hands dirty with honest work was that the aforementioned women worked half-naked because of the high temperatures deep under the surface of the Earth. Which was followed by those oh so holy people influencing the government on banning those women from the work and rather having them starve from lack of means to live than to allow them to take their petticoats off for the sake of their comfort at work.
@@heidikersey7280 There are other similar series where the participants spend longer time in an era with their respective roles, ranging from weeks to months. One day or a couple of days per era sound like a series made for spoiled people who can only tolerate certain degree of adversity. Longer stay = longer immersion.
well at least long enough to sleep in a bed. It makes a difference when you don't even have time to have a warm bath or a comfy bed, especially when you're cold all day.
@@thewhisperingsylph8738 Actually, we've no idea if those series are literally every day or if they even spend nights there. Plus, those are historians and archaeologists who know how to do everything and find it fun. They haven't told the celebrity groups much at all. Not to mention actual people of the era were far more trained up for this sort of devastating behavior and ate far more calories to support it. The modern day person is less skilled and less fit.
Iam really liking these shows. I think this one should more of what they were really made of in the work they did. They seemed to feel more alive. In a good way. Awesome 👌.. thank you once again for the history lesson.
Honestly, Absolute History, you need to stop waving that cute ginger guy in front of my eyes, because he's so fit he's not letting me focus on the show. And the fact that he's younger than me is not making me feel any less awkward.
I find this quite funny. I come from a mussel fishing family, and we still use hand tools as shown in this film, to gather and clean the mussels; nets, rakes, and riddles. On an average day I can rake up 20 bushel sacks on my own in the few hours of low tide. It's funny that it took so many men to just rake up 4 sacks
They were beginners. You might be as clumsy or lost doing something new too. Some of them might not exercise, like the nonathlete ones, as many modern people don't do.
Great video. It was mentioned the boats were at the mercy of the weather. Indeed they were with sails. Mariners abandoned sails for engines to make ocean travel safer. Yet today, some want to base the power grid on fickle wind, and more fickle solar. Looks like some need to learn the lesson known during the 19th cent the hard way.
So let me get this straight after seeing several of these. The champion weightlifter is a princess while the Hollywood star just gets stuck in. Go Kirstie. Never had much respect for her, probably her Scientology connection, but this one I really hand it to her. She makes us Americans look good.
@Buttered Lumps They may show how different people would react initially, but to quit as she has twice up until now would mean possible starvation for her and her family. To be suitable for this show, she needs to show determination, not how wet she is.
@Buttered Lumps You don't see the punishments, she quits and walks off. Kirsty is a very odd choice for this very British show. I can only imagine that someone took pity on her for her waning popularity in the US. It doesn't seem to have helped, as she's even less popular now.
There's a really good one on Acorn TV called "1900 Island" that I highly recommend! It was excellent. They had a few families living in an old fishing village on an island and they were fully immersed in that way of life.
Watch the series with Ruth Goodman, such as Victorian Farm, etc. It's mostly about farming but there's a bit of fishing, and other things like cooking, herbal remedies, Christmas, etc.
Ok. I rowed boats at summer camp and yes keeping the oars in the oar locks is hard but I never capsized the boat as a result! You never stand up in a boat you crouch to avoid that.
God forbid they just pay them for what they have. No no "I demand 5000 oysters! Oh you're one short now I'm going to pay you less per oyster" like.....what?
Congrats for winning semi-famous people! Here, have your reward of cheap-ass fish and chips with no tomato sauce! Lol but they seemed to enjoy it so no problem.
The cookies could have been saved by creaming the sugar into the shortening, (lard, butter,) using more flour. Still, good save by Kirstie. The guys were dangerous with scissors. Keep your fingers between the blade and the animal's skin. I was afraid they were going to circumcise the little bastard! These people would have fared better if they'd known modern methods, maybe. Tapping on a loaf of bread is how to test it. If it sound hollow, it's done. The cooking surface of the oven is cleaned with a wire brush. You wouldn't feed those burnt crusts to the animals. Had I been present in the kitchen I'd offered my own recipe....for gun powder, lol.
I've just happened to see ads sometimes asking people to apply or audition for shows. Such as commercials on tv. Now, I don't watch tv. Maybe you can look up these things. The Turn Back Time show had regular people and their families come on and live and work in past eras. People can also push for the public to be able to experience this. Like a theme park, hotel, festival, or event. There are medieval fairs.
Greg again being the hardest worker in the episode. Damn he's as hard a worker as he is cute.
Kirstie is always spot on.."I get food, board, shagging. The things I like."
Rip Kirstie Alley. You will be missed for your acting roles and wonderful personality.
Kirstie's "I've screwed mine up a bit". Love it!
She's great huh.❤

Which was followed by those oh so holy people influencing the government on banning those women from the work and rather having them starve from lack of means to live than to allow them to take their petticoats off for the sake of their comfort at work.
They should've done it for at least a week/era.
?
They would have a heart attack!!
@@heidikersey7280 There are other similar series where the participants spend longer time in an era with their respective roles, ranging from weeks to months. One day or a couple of days per era sound like a series made for spoiled people who can only tolerate certain degree of adversity. Longer stay = longer immersion.
well at least long enough to sleep in a bed. It makes a difference when you don't even have time to have a warm bath or a comfy bed, especially when you're cold all day.
@@thewhisperingsylph8738 Actually, we've no idea if those series are literally every day or if they even spend nights there.
Plus, those are historians and archaeologists who know how to do everything and find it fun. They haven't told the celebrity groups much at all.
Not to mention actual people of the era were far more trained up for this sort of devastating behavior and ate far more calories to support it. The modern day person is less skilled and less fit.
Please tell me you’re making more of these. I can’t get enough.❤
Iam really liking these shows. I think this one should more of what they were really made of in the work they did. They seemed to feel more alive. In a good way. Awesome 👌.. thank you once again for the history lesson.
Should be more series like this absolutely loved it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Honestly, Absolute History, you need to stop waving that cute ginger guy in front of my eyes, because he's so fit he's not letting me focus on the show. And the fact that he's younger than me is not making me feel any less awkward.
I couldn’t agree more!!!!! Hahahahaha...
You guys are speaking my language! I completely agree with both.
Well, he's 6 years older than this now at least 😏 He's definitely cute, always felt like he was a nice guy too.
@@netsk1679 this show is that old?
Eye candy is good for the soul.👌
I find this quite funny. I come from a mussel fishing family, and we still use hand tools as shown in this film, to gather and clean the mussels; nets, rakes, and riddles. On an average day I can rake up 20 bushel sacks on my own in the few hours of low tide. It's funny that it took so many men to just rake up 4 sacks
They were beginners. You might be as clumsy or lost doing something new too. Some of them might not exercise, like the nonathlete ones, as many modern people don't do.
RIP Kirsty. You are missed
Love The Time Crashers!😍💪
Great video. It was mentioned the boats were at the mercy of the weather. Indeed they were with sails. Mariners abandoned sails for engines to make ocean travel safer. Yet today, some want to base the power grid on fickle wind, and more fickle solar. Looks like some need to learn the lesson known during the 19th cent the hard way.
I'm interested in iron age episode! The result of their victorian photo is beautiful.
So let me get this straight after seeing several of these. The champion weightlifter is a princess while the Hollywood star just gets stuck in. Go Kirstie. Never had much respect for her, probably her Scientology connection, but this one I really hand it to her. She makes us Americans look good.
Really good programme. Excellent .
If this series is ever done again, I think it would be interesting to also include some modern-day farmers. I think it would change the dynamic.
Why did Zoey even agree to do this series? She’s always unhappy and never wants to work. Did she lose a bet?
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode!
Wonderful ep
I Love this serie! Amazing
My dad and bro loved the fish roe and milt (fisher family) but I don't enjoy myself.
Bro...fish roe is delish.
Despite the scientology...I absolutely love Kirsty Alley!
Right? Down to earth and likable, hard to believes she’s involved with that cult.
Amazing!!!! What a great episode❤️👍🏻
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!! GIVE ME MOOOORE!!!! Lol 😁😁
Love this series.
Now all i want is seafood, especially some fish and chips!
Zoe should have been booted off the show. She makes a fuss on every episode and is acting like a spoiled brat.
She's uncomfortable, not a spoiled brat, though I do agree she's not the best for the show.
Agreed. She seems unable to get into the spirit of the show. She does not earn her pay.
They always have someone who does in the ones with celebrities. Brings in views.
@Buttered Lumps They may show how different people would react initially, but to quit as she has twice up until now would mean possible starvation for her and her family. To be suitable for this show, she needs to show determination, not how wet she is.
@Buttered Lumps You don't see the punishments, she quits and walks off. Kirsty is a very odd choice for this very British show. I can only imagine that someone took pity on her for her waning popularity in the US. It doesn't seem to have helped, as she's even less popular now.
R.I.P. Kirstie 🙏🏽
I swear, Kristi is my spirt person.......
I love this show.
Mornin'! Nice day for fishin' ain't it?
Love this series!
Love Time Crashers!
Excellent!!! I’ve been wanting to see how my ancestors lived and have not been able to find fishing village series
Thank you 🙏
There's a really good one on Acorn TV called "1900 Island" that I highly recommend! It was excellent. They had a few families living in an old fishing village on an island and they were fully immersed in that way of life.
@@hannahcollins1816 Wow! Thank you ☺️
Watch the series with Ruth Goodman, such as Victorian Farm, etc. It's mostly about farming but there's a bit of fishing, and other things like cooking, herbal remedies, Christmas, etc.
I don’t think I could finish this crash. This looks very challenging
Very interesting!
Y dont they label these shows better. I would nvr have looked at if reading the title.
The UK has such better tv (and about everything else) than the US
We know ☺️
They definitely have the market cornered on history shows.
I love this show!!
Well done ladies and men.
Ok. I rowed boats at summer camp and yes keeping the oars in the oar locks is hard but I never capsized the boat as a result! You never stand up in a boat you crouch to avoid that.
RIP Kirstie Alley 12/5/2023.
God forbid they just pay them for what they have. No no "I demand 5000 oysters! Oh you're one short now I'm going to pay you less per oyster" like.....what?
I would just drop it all and cry
i hope all that food didnt go to waste now
Congrats for winning semi-famous people! Here, have your reward of cheap-ass fish and chips with no tomato sauce!
Lol but they seemed to enjoy it so no problem.
Tallow linseed and tar sounds like a rag fire to me
The cookies could have been saved by creaming the sugar into the shortening, (lard, butter,) using more flour. Still, good save by Kirstie. The guys were dangerous with scissors. Keep your fingers between the blade and the animal's skin. I was afraid they were going to circumcise the little bastard! These people would have fared better if they'd known modern methods, maybe. Tapping on a loaf of bread is how to test it. If it sound hollow, it's done. The cooking surface of the oven is cleaned with a wire brush. You wouldn't feed those burnt crusts to the animals. Had I been present in the kitchen I'd offered my own recipe....for gun powder, lol.
How do you apply to do these experiments? It would be fun to go back to the 80s for like a month or something.
I've just happened to see ads sometimes asking people to apply or audition for shows. Such as commercials on tv. Now, I don't watch tv. Maybe you can look up these things. The Turn Back Time show had regular people and their families come on and live and work in past eras.
People can also push for the public to be able to experience this. Like a theme park, hotel, festival, or event. There are medieval fairs.
When the boat sunk aaahhh that kind mature ages man walk into the water to help.
