This is great for #QuarantineLife #WuhanTimes
Does anybody know where are those diaries from and if they are available somewhere?
Why only 24 hr ? NWO freaks planning this life for most of us very soon. No money, no electricity, no education, but surely work, work, work... manual labor for stupid servants.
So true
Thank you for posting these videos! There was a similar show where they went back in time to work like this, but there was also a Lordship and Ladyship. And the only thing I can remember about that show was when the show was about over the Ladyship started crying about it being over and how she enjoyed having everything done for her and one of the maids thinking it was rude that, back in time, the maids had to turn to the wall when the Lord or Lady came near them. Anyone remember that show?????
As a human once says along the lines of "Being poor is only romantic in novels and movies. In real life, it's smelly room, rats, leaking roofs and empty stomachs."
Zimik Kachui Victor Hugo, is that you?
@@frankienarcimous7830 I was just gonna say, that quote seems very Hugo Ithough he, of course, didn't live to see movies).
Growling tummy? That loud?? Oops
Kachui pang pooi
@@frankienarcimous7830 I'm not sure. I saw the quote in a book back when I was very young and I guess I'm lazy. Never bother to Google it. I hope it's Victor Hugo though. 😂
When someone says I love Victorian era, they always imagine themselves in the aristocracy, not the lower class
Or a "lower class" like on novels that the "lower class of novels" living conditions arent bad and they live an amazing life and that they would have an aesthetic life, and they imagine that a Handsome prince (or a princess) fell in love with them and they end on a castle being happy af
I still love it
@Cole Czecho um I've been poor a loooong time and it involves selling items so I can eat. You do realize there is actual poverty still in the west? People are honeless and struggle to afford food and shelter. Clearly you arebt imagining actual poor people in the year 2020 cuz I highly doubt my years of manual labor and struggling to afford food and not being able to afford to see a dr is not how victorian upper class lived.
You seem to forget there was a Middle Class as well, at least in the USA anyway. So that Middle Class? Machinists and other skilled tradesmen. Not too sure about the UK since almost everybody who wanted a better life went into the British Army. From what I could gather from old photos, the British Farmer during the Industrial Revolution, the ones who embraced machinery, did quite well for themselves!
@@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica8 Dude, you should get your GED or High School equivalent for starters, then get a job and really stick with it, don't smoke, drink or gamble (those are the biggest money losers) buy a van and live in that, your cash savings will increase and you'll come out of desperate poverty.
Usually people ask "what would you do without your smartphone for a few days" but none of them complained about missing their phones here, everybody misses modern plumping and toilets. A lack of smartphones would barely go noticed, lack of modern toilets though could easily take humanity back to that era.
But with cell phone you could learn how to create better toilets and plumbing like modern era. Remember knowledge is power.
@@ShouttoJesusChrist doesn’t make any sense man.
@@ShouttoJesusChrist Since no one had yet invented modern toilets, and there was no electricity let along the internet, how would you be able to look up anything?
Yes!! We only miss our phones when we have nothing to do! Even nowadays it's quit rude to check your phone amongst friends or family and doesn't cross your mind when you are very busy
I would mainly miss my phone for the knowledge. I use my phone as a mobile encyclopedia lol
I love how they instinctively start acting as a family and sharing their earnings. Such a cool show with great "cast."
Exactly what I thought.
You know why? Because these people didn't know lack. It's either much more than 24 hours that shows what really is inside, or when a person knows what that really means, but behaves a human regardless of the inhumane conditions.
The young dude who started stealing and gamling. Now that's what I call being immersed into it
venomtail1 when he decided to gamble he instantly became my favorite.
Man of the north I agree-
some kid on the internet - it don’t love you.... trust me
Yeah what a legens
He looks weird,like a lion
The old woman berating the young boy for gambling away his pennies was just golden
Ummmm... How? She was rude, arrogant, and bossy.. Literally the WORST kind of person I swear.
@@CuttySobz It reminded me of the kind of thing you might actually see in that century. The type of interaction between a grandmother and grandson.
Also this was early in the season, her rude arrogant and bossy nature didnt even start showing up that much yet.
Who is he? Sorry, I'm in the U.s. They really did give him a hard time in this episode.
Yet she was sweet to take his boots off
Ramonerdna Reminds me of my mother. The young man and old lady were my two favorites. I found her to be hilarious 😂
If I were teleported into the Victorian era, I would run away into the woods and live there. The Victorian era is just so freaking deadly I don’t wanna take chances
I do wonder how many people did this, and how available knowledge about surviving self-sufficiently in the wild was.
The cities were despicable.
Probably labeled as a witch
@@rkless_jayirl13 I’ll be the witch that lives in the woods! I study nursing and herbology so I’ll survive some small illnesses at least. For shelter I can try and make a hidden one if I find a nice thick tree or some small hidden cave, if not hidden and at least small I can cover the entrance with stuff. That’ll do until I need to dive deeper in the forest due to the city expanding, I’ll also have to have someone start some rumor of the place around me to be haunted as a way to scare off most cowards. Still would have to dive deeper due to braver people.
Why ... your expose to the modern would put u leaps and bound above the common man ... e.g Ur ability to read ,write, and general math ability, and that is without considering your general knowledge of the world and wat could be utilized to better ur/there condition.
Ran to forest would just leave u vulnerable to wild animals and/or Robbers.
These shows always make me realize the sad fact, that for most of human history, unless you were wealthy, life basically wasn't worth living.
Sad and to then to now when you compare, we should be proud for being poor but still not suffering like Victorian poor family
In some places, it's still like this. Small children in Africa are mining cobalt for China, for example. Getting paid next to nothing.
You think today is any better? Sure we have a greater number of luxurues, but a higher rate of mental health issues (probably because it's actually recorded for once), huge dietary issues uneven across the board, and big issues from social media.
@@sleepyjo9340 it’s true, I used medicaid, it jacked my whole life up.
@@sleepyjo9340 Idk, the final episode really highlighted the similarities between life back then and the conditions of concentration camps.
Modern society always romanticizes the Victorian period and gilded age, but the reality of life was this......
jrgnc1 they romanticize the wealthy Victorian lifestyle but they think it’s the average joe 😂
Chimney sweeping kids: **coughs from black lung**
It was beautiful but this is the other end of life for those less fortunate poor things. I give them so much respect
Nah we only glorify the rich Victorian life, nobody wants to live as an average Victorian ☠️
Not just Victorian society. How many people look back at the 20th century with rose tinted glasses? "In my day, kids spoke to their elders with respect." On and on and on...
the young lad is so into it, 10 minutes in and he started stealing
He's already on that skyrim mindset lol.
Lol
was he possibly the best part of the show??? can we say plot development? ☺️
Yea, he is British so I bet he had to read Charles Dickens in school...that was the real deal.
😂😂😭😂😂😭😂😂
It’s interesting how Ann goes from being the moral one to causing the most trouble
And the boy saying hello family after night shift 😂
@@kellymcvey4494 I tho that was sweet and somehow , i think it show he's need or wish to have a family ?
Ann was the Minister Of Prisons from 95 to 97. She knows how it happens and to make it trouble happen.
She scolds him "now you haven't got a penny or a pie!"
Correction...he doesn't have 2 pennies or a pie.
Meanwhile in 2300:
"Surviving a Day in the 21st century"
Lol!
Surviving Covid in 2020
"People in those days were incredibly unhealthy. If you lived in the middle to lower class, you'd have no choice but to survive on food that would give you diabetes and worse."
It would be like, living in a lockdown for months where the rules are that you cannot leave your house and every time you turn on the news you see more and more deaths.
Try to keep your sanity while you are practically trapped in your home with your very annoying "family members", but every time you are near them, you have to stay 6 feet away and wear a mask or they are "eliminated" because you are "infected", so every time you see them, you have to worry about hospitalizing and possibly killing them by accident.
Oh, and you have to strategically place clean objects (face towels, etc.) around so they don't touch the objects contaminated with COVID and wash your hands almost every hour and don't touch your eyes or nose...
And every time you receive mail, you have to figure out how to avoid spreading the germs from that around your house. You also have to ration all your disinfecting supplies, soap, and toilet paper for that month because there's no more.
Bonus round: you have kids, so you have to disinfect everything before they touch it because kids touch everything then touch their eyes and pick their noses 24/7.
They’re gonna be like, egh, it was awful, I could never survive that, lol
Now I see why my ancestors decided to steal a cow and get shipped to Australia.
😂😂😂that was shocking and great💪,from the u.k. not the states? Greetings from faraway Norway ✌
🤣🤣🤣
Your ancestors were great
And they transported this kind of life and treatment over there.
Congrats.
RIP I'm still here in england with a Norman Noble background but Im not rick lol
The average Victorian would definetely be disgusted if we showed them all the still edible food the supermarkets were just throwing away.
Im still disgusted by it! It’s horrible, at least donate it to the needy if you’re going to throw it out.
@@em-ov7tg It is true. The waste that one supermarket throws out can literally feed 4 villages in Africa.
@@axelgidius3324 It’s so sad that companies would choose to waste that food even thought it isn’t that spoiled! Sickening
@@em-ov7tg Yes. Some people may say that the 'freegans' are disgusting for going around taking 'trash' (which is just food that isn't even spoiled.), but i think they have a point.
Yea super markets today are like oh no this apple has a speck of dust on it we have get rid of the entire harvest
As someone who romanticizes the Victorian era, I’m really intrigued to see the reality of how things truly were back then
Same here
I just pretend I'd be a super wealthy nobles child or a princess 😂😂
Yup...in reality it was not all that amusing
That is likely why immigration was a welcome alternative to life in urban Britain.
It was horrible
When your wifi cuts out for 10 minutes:
Lol
Underrated
PLS
😂😂😂
Ahhhhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa
"Why did I get paid less?"
"Because you're a women"
Brutal lol
dannyfresh lol at first i thought, wow! They paid her less because she had an easier job. WRONG
Unfortunately women still make 7/10 of what men make for the same job, it hasn't changed
Matthew Williams for the Same Job?
@@bananalovinggirl9754 that's what the statistics say.
Matthew Williams I think it’s that men earn more then women in general but because they often work in higher paying jobs or longer hours. I think if someone would actually earn less for the exact same work just because they are a woman it would cause more attention. That’d be a scandal
''why does she get less''
''cuz she's a woman''
man I love that lean in and delivery
Just about everyone loves the glamour of the aristocracy, beautiful clothes, tons of servants, glorious food. It's a wonder the poor could even survive. One of the reasons I loved the series Ripper Street is how realistic it was for life in the era the episodes took place. It was so detailed of life in that era.
During that time in Europe, US Native Americans lived and ate much better than these folks.
same, loved that series for showing the poor man's hard and dangerous life in that period not just the fancy rich people's.
Imagine how easy it would be to die in the victorian era. Miss one day of work and you starve. How did poor people afford kids?!?
The children probably worked as well
parents waited for them to die of malnutrition
@@letsgoammy7765 They did, that or they sent the kids out to pick pockets, and the like. Easier for a kid to get away stealing, than an adult.
I can’t even imagine how they got in the mood to make the kids living in squalor like that and working all day
@@chevon1920 Easy, it's the only enjoyable thing they had in life.
I feel like the boy Tyger is a pretty accurate representation of a victorian bad boy the church warned you about lol
It was the skater boy of that era. A button lad if you would
lol
Yessss!!!!
ARTFUL DODGER IS THAT YOU?????
I liked him lol
Pretty much how he was
The blond lady is hysterical, I love her sense of humor. It's so much better to laugh at a bad situation than to get frustrated.
One of my first jobs (I was 11) was doing reenactments at a Victorian era war museum. It shaped me. I learned to dry herbs, turn wool into thread and then fabric, baked using sugar cones that had to be ground by mortar and pestle, etc. And all in the clothing of the day.
I still went back to modern civilization at night. But it was freaking awesome. Especially the clothes. 🥰
Do you have any souveniers from your time?
I like how everyone was so pumped and excited about doing this show and within 24-hours their souls were crushed. I think media and other literature romanticize the Victorian Era which makes us forget or overlook the harsh reality of what people really did back in the day.
I really like your comment : )
They probably thought that they will be high class.
Yeah. the movie, The Titanic, portrays Victorian Era but also portrays part of the Era that most people, the working party experienced. Such as the lower class deck on the ship and when the ship was sinking, they put the more wealthy ppl into the life saving boats than the poor
@@alejandrathompson7687 While the point makes sense, and working classes and all other marginalised groups were treated horribly in the period, I don't believe the Titanic can be classified as Victorian. It sank in 1914. Queen Victoria died in 1901.
@@alejandrathompson7687 Titanic was not in Victorian Era, it was the Edwardian era. If this is 1840 as the woman said in the beginning then Titanic came 70 years later. A lot changed in those years.
am i the only one who thinks this sort of reenacting seems a bit fun? obviously not living the the victorian times, but just trying it out for a day or two
Nope i always wanted to go back in time for a day or two to different time periods my if i could visit list includes
Old mining towns
1960s so many things happened in this time period just wanna experience it
Victorian times
And renaissance
Let's find a place that larps it, that'll work
That's what larping is for
Maybe there's a LARP about victorian times!
I love this era
I have so much respect for that old lady for doing this. She is showing so much strength and empathy , realizing that women at her age would have Just died if they stopped which is probably true. Love her! ❤️
I just had my ten year old watch this because he thought his chores were too hard. He is now very thankful for what little he has to do
I low-key want to see them in the upper class for 24 hours
yes
I dont want celebrities to live in the upper class though. I want normal people they find on the street. Even homeless people if they will.
@@caseydawn16 yeah ik But, it will still be cool to see them with luxuries back in the day
I mid key want to see it.
Are you hot bb?
I couldn't agree more
I feel like the boss are nicer than the ones in the real Victorian era.
Well, its kinda obvious because its a show.
he def was being polite, i expected more spice haha
Yeahh ..
yeah that tho do make me sad
@That Bland Pumpkin Spice Latte having a camera on his face doesn't stop him because he's allowed to be rough on them but he either decided not to or the team said not to.
Why is youtube just now recommending this to me? This is the greatest thing i've ever watched
If this comes up again I whole heartedly volunteer. Its reenacting to the extreme. Could you imagine just choosing to live like this forever????
No.
I would volunteer for this, I am a American Civil War Reenactor ( Federal Soldier).
@@jamesrichardson3322 Bro i loved that when one time me and my fam came to williamsburg those colonial era reenactors are chill! i would love to buy and wear a tricorn hat yet the only reenactor experince we got is walking over the blocks with horse droppings, the heat and buying a drink which the bottle is old fashioned yet inside is a coca cola XD yet love the sights of the barns and wooden houses i felt like on my middle school mind i remember the life of paul revere, george washington and Hamilton musical.
@@disunityholychaos7523 There are revolutionary War reenacting units or American Civil War units near you, just Google Revolutionary War Reenactment or American Civil War units, they will pop up around your area. If want to do Revolutionary War you can be a Patriot, Loyalist, British 🇬🇧 and German Hessian, or Civilians etc. If want do American Civil War you can join the Federal or Union Units or Confederate or Rebels Unit, or do civilians.
Email different units they will get back to you on how to get started. If more questions please ask!!
They had "no choice". It was either live like this or starve. No unemployment insurance back then. No food stamps. No food allowance for moms with young kids and ... no birth control.
I can see that one girls soul leaving as soon as she heard why she's not getting equal pay as the men.
Yes back in those times woman worked just as hard as men maybe even more but they had no say in the matter they had no authority or rights
@@jasminemartinez7305 Since when is this news to people though? It's only in the modern age (aside from certain rare exceptions) that we've really addressed it.
@@jasminemartinez7305 Wait...back then? Like people are thinking it doesn't happen now?
@@Hollylivengood it doesn’t happen that much today, at least in first world countries
@@Hollylivengood Of course it doesn't happen, the main objective of companies is to make as much money as possible and spend as little money as possible, if women were paid less than men, no one would hire men, it's simple common sense.
The guy who was stealing and gambling was the ONLY would who maybe would've survived the actual victorian era. Everyone else was using modern morals during a time when stealing meant survival. I love him lol
Stealing could mean a death sentence at worse. Jails were horrible places. They took crime seriously to discourage it. They also were more religious. Life was short so they likely thought about the after life more : heaven or hell.
I do doubt the foreman would have been quite so generous towards him after he got caught had this been for real. I doubt most people lived like that, but watching this certainly does make it understandable as to why someone would.
Well London was a hotbed for criminals. People were afraid of the punishment but desperate enough to Risk It.
Ah yes, because stealing is a cool thing and totally necessary.
@@dinvtcbkjcrf True, so don't get greedy and learn to not babble. :D
This is genuinely my favorite series on RUclips, they should make it into a longer series, please make more, you could even do different eras every season so it doesn't get stale
I love how Ann and Tiger had completely opposite arcs
Tiger went from Oliver Twist to a propper servant boy
Ann went from an enforcer to a union leader
Little did they know, the rats were also paid actors
😂😂🤣🤣
They probably actually were
Hey Takeshi 69 has to make a living somehow 🤷🏻♂️
😂😂
They were probably farmed rats as wild rats would have scarpered as soon as they saw people. Wild rats would have been too dangerous to use like this as they do carry diseases. Too risky to use for a show. So in a way they were probably paid actors too. lol
But can we just talk about how incredible it is that they set this whole thing up
I think it is there all the time, Blists Hill Victorian Town in Shropshire I think but there are several of them, they are museums and open to the public most of the time but they use them for movie and TV sets over and over again because I keep seeing the same ones LOL.
I was thinking About how expencive it must be to set it all up
@@LeonElQueAmas Yeah but if it's anything like ours here in the US, the tourists invariably ruin the ambiance with modern clothes and modern accoutrements. I worked at one where the best part of the day was an hour BEFORE opening, we looked and felt so authentic and it was cool😃
Then in come the visitors in jeans and with phones 😭
zxy atiywariii I think it‘s better here. The 1920s series „Peaky Blinders“ was filmed in Birmingham UK so many visitors/tourists who go to this museum dress up like people would have in Edwardian times (early 20th century) which is really great 👍🏻
It's brillant!
I’m glad to see one person taking on the “artful dodge” role because we all know people would do some of this in order to survive themselves or their families.
Can just appreciate what a great job the Dust-Yard owner does? He 100% into it
The young lad really seemed like he was from that era. Gambling, stealing, all that.
He's an accurate Victorian dude 😂😂
@PuraguCryostato dude, why can't you just enjoy the video. Don't look into it that much
How would you know? You didnt live then?
@PuraguCryostato Jesus, do you need to go about commenting about it being scripted to every single person who enjoys the boy's actions?
@PuraguCryostato I read only five or so comments and you were under three ...
I sincerely hope no one is on their period. That would be awful
missyouhoo OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
omg imagine
No kidding... this is the real reason I would never want to live in any era before advil + pads were invented. If women today complain about cramps during work, I can't imagine dealing with UNFILTERED cramps while tilling some rich lord's fields in the smoldering heat. Hell nah
Gosh I cannot even imagine that
Exactly what I was thinking. So far I have not seen water in that apartment.
I completely understand why my great great great-grandparents in England boarded a overcrowded ship to set sail for months across the Atlantic ocean to the New World to take their chances for a better life. Glad to say they succeeded by starting their own business.
Really wish they made more series like this! Could definitely see it being a tv show/full series

Nice to see how they bonded over the struggle. It's the best possible scenario.
Side note; Those rats were extremely talented extras!
It really “sold” the realism for me… definitely a 10/10, would recommend them for more roles!🤣💗👍
I think Tyger was the perfect replica of a bad adventurous young Victorian boy. With all his theiving and gambling. I absolutely love him
And then suddenly: Gallows.
ta33370 hahaha
I am the 666th like.
Would’ve definitely been the one to risk everything to go to America in search of opportunity in wealth.
ta33370 Well, you’d do anything to survive.
This need to be a serious show concept in the USA. Forget scared straight, just recreate different horrible time periods and make people live through it.
That gets dicey with racism in America tho... Who is gonna play slave and slave master?
@@sunshin3697 I hope you realize that America was not the only country with slavery
@@sunshin3697 well the slave master would probably be the person running the entirety the slaves would be the people participating i guess.. of course they wouldn't be beaten or actually put trough torture but telling them what to do and elaborating with it might make for a very insightful experience rather than a racism related experience as it wouldn't convey racism per se as everyone participating no matter their race would be treated the same
@@frogs7466 hahaha exactly...
@@sunshin3697 you are aware the middle east is the largest exporter of slaves from Africa in Human history yeah?
It's gotta be so cool to be an extra for this show, visiting all the different eras. As bad as it was in the past, the novelty of being there is still pretty cool.
I would love to see a series like this that continues but all around the world, with different ways of life/cultures included! Nonetheless, super cool concept as a reality tv show! Cant wait to watch!
Интересную идею сказали
Narrator: “6 famous faces”
Me an American who doesn’t recognize any of them:
👁👄👁
yes other places not just the USA have famous people, who would've thought
Trust an American to let everyone know that they’re American. It’s a British show, chances are if you’re not from Britain you won’t know who they are. Smh seppos and always making things about themselves

I love how the old lady just fits right in
Honestly she annoyed me and I think she annoyed everybody in the show too
She exactly she fits in perfectly 💓💓

She’s perfect!!!!!!!!!💯💯💯😠😠😠
@@ewagransee.eq_ Cope. Seethe. Old lady took the show.
The old lady defending the boss who works them like animals for pennies, saying the “stolen rings” belong to him is just INSANE.
I mean… she’s a politician so that behaviour wasn’t unexpected.
to those who haven't watched other episodes yet
be happy
this is the only episode Ann talks sense and not being annoying yet. Goodluck.
Lol 😂 no lie. She is the worst
Tiger has the right idea. You're in desperate poverty, no safety nets, no one will help, so you have to do what you can to survive. If some stolen veg can keep you alive another day, and a stolen ring can provide for you when you are too sick to work for a while, that's what you need to do. Morality will leave you starving to death, you have to be looking out for yourself at other's expense sadly. Tiger would've been alive in those times. The rest would've changed or starved by that time.
I know right but imagine it's the 1940's
So you think there were no honest or kind people living in the 1880s? You are wrong. There were all types of people then, just like now. People willing to lie, cheat, steal, and hurt others to get ahead think the rest of the world is exactly like they are. It is not the case.
That's true. Heaps of kids pickpocketed from people just too survive.
Until you get caught.
@@thecourtlyalchemist Something tells me you've never truly been starving ...
The young guy is by far the smartest person in the group.

For real. His only mistake was telling his "Family" about it when Anne was going to be a wet towel, and wave her morality in everyones face. The impressionist man said he agreed that it was a bad idea, but he didn't threaten to rat him out, he just said it was dangerous.

The effort that went into recreating this era is astounding.
This needs a bit more cholera and typhoid for a really authentic experience.
All the stuff can't happen in 24h.
Geez 😒

And less teeth I think.
love the older woman who really seems into character hahaha. She accepts that she only got a penny and scolds the 'young'uns' for gambling. Love that.
Ok with in 'character' I mean she seems like she would fit in right in the victorian age, with not wanting to steal, gamble or do anything fun lol. Goes on and reads the bible at night. Right old victorian lady that.
Yeah she seems to blend in perfectly
@@TheMissbambi she's right about the stealing though. Doing a job like that, if the boss caught you stealing you'd be fired and then you'd be in the work house or worse. Nobody would hire a thief.
whoknows ooooof having fun by doing things that hurt others 😒 yep I’ll side with the Bible believing lady 🙌🏼
me too
this is so immersive, it's just like those victorian movies i've watched, love that the contestants are down to do the works, i wanna see more of this show
*"I've got a gold ring, but don't tell the boss-man"*
So nobody is gonna mention all the extras doing exactly what they’re doing?
Yeah, I'm impressed by how far they went to make it seem real!
Ikr!
If anything it would feel even more real for the extras. No camera crew following them around as much and no producers stopping them to be interviewed through out the day.
They are actually from the 19th century.
I think they are reenactors part of a living museum. There is something about it in the comments section in the workhouse episode
Honestly it’s kinda sad how no one was on the young guys side when he was stealing. Back then that could mean the difference between life and death.
But not if he gambled it all away.
Being stolen from could mean the difference between life and death.
skanecmt okay? This is essentially middle age larping. Back in that time you did what you had to do to keep yourself alive. Being kind could get you killed easily enough.
@@Rusty763 not really being kind doesn't get you killed i mean stealing wont get you killed but you will go in prison in those times
the beast being kind as in not steal can indeed mean life or death.
This makes me feel like a queen with everything I have 💀I wouldn’t have survived honestly

"There's me in my victorian corset, again, remarkably comfortable" *turns round and shows it isnt even laced up...*
corsets are remarkably comfortable when fitted properly.. especially for heavier/breasted women..
@@claudeusgothicus6453 i can verify that, but they have to be laced and snugged up to get the benefit, not let the laces hang loose at the waist
Corsets or stays weren't supposed to be laced up all the way, especially in working day-to-day. When fitted properly it proved great back support and alignment assistance. Only a few high-fashion people like high-society socialites would often do that for a dramatic look when they didn't need to do any work except look pretty. like saying every woman today wore 6inch stiletto heels. You CAN do it, but it wasn't the norm. there are actually some really interesting videos about it that historical fashion RUclipsrs like Karolina Żebrowska (Meme MOOOOM) and Bernedette Banner does a less than 12 minute video about victorian corsets and who wore what and why.
@@EthalaRide Now that is detail I did not know. I am fascinated by historic.clothing and textiles. Thank you, and thanks for the guidance on ways to find additional information.
@@EthalaRide you literally just named some of my favourite youtubers. Ily so much ❤.
Knowing how extreme poverty was in England just 150 years ago gives me a lot of hope for people living in emerging economies like India. I hope things improve equally quickly for them.
Doubt it.
Love how the question is whether they can survive a DAY. Really shows how different we are from the people back in the day
This should've been hidden camera. Them talking into the camera and being followed by a huge modern tech really takes me out of it.
true
Well, you don't really see the camera men and tech that is being used though.
I agree
@soapfanaddict Wasn't there also a show called Frontier House? I vaguely remember it and it was awesome. That and the Colony.
I agree. I'm also a little disappointed since they are supposed to be actors. Too many of them think of this as a joke - they really don't know the hardship and amount of work that went into Victorian lives of the poor. It all seems to be a big joke of laughing about it all instead of actually trying to experience it.
The two youngest ones are the only ones thinking like poor people. You can tell the older ones have never been hungry.
So true.
You do realize the older ones were young struggling people once too right? Not all poor people are thieves.
Unless you had to steal food from Wal-Mart, you haven't been poor.
Correction: I did not mean to insinuate all poor people steal, and I did not mean to lessen your struggles if you are poor and have never stolen... My point was hunger hurts, most single adults don't qualify for food stamps and it's hard to find a food pantry, if your broke, job hunting and starting to lose weight, you're going to acquire some groceries...
@@matthewwilliams1212 "You CANNOT be poor unless you've stolen!"
Matthew Williams I don’t agree, but I get your point. You haven’t been so poor before where you have no choice but to steal to survive.
This would have been normal back then - morality goes out the window when it comes to surviving
“I get the impression that we are useless” I get that every day
The older woman seemed more into it in the aspect of what it takes to feed yourself/working, I really liked her attitude even if she did come off as a bit rude.
The guy that stole the carrot is most likely to survive lol
And he kept quiet about finding that ring too.
or not, you know. maybe more likely to become a crippled, after losing his hand...
@@stillfangirlingtoday1468 survival doesnt come without risks
High chance of death.
There’s been many cases when young children got imprisoned and sent away due to them stealing an apple and such.
Shopkeepers would camp there until they see those thieves and by then, you wouldn’t stand a chance especially if you were a minor.
I would barely qualify as the Night Soil Man.
People who say they want to be in Victorian era or they love it or wish life was like that. They all imagine them selves in the high class not the low class
I imagine myself has a middle class young child (around 11) in Russia
I don't know about that. I always fancied the idea of being a grave robber.
@@yikes4939 Simmilar thoughts as I had...
Sugar Bean I don’t. I sometimes picture myself in higher class and sometimes in lower class
Aiméé Tube do you wish it was back in the Victorian erra?
I've heard it said it said most profoundly "the past was harder to survive than the present in nearly every way" so true. Especially when death came from easily treatable diseases today.
We need to get these youth out there to do this experiment. It’ll teach them the value of hard work and appreciation.
"why did I get paid less?"
Straight faced: "because your a woman. Women got paid 2/3 of what men did even for the same job."
:I
You're* and yeah, a time before women's rights. They ACTUALLY suffered back in the day
I don't think that the state changed in some countries, women are still paid less than men :(
In western countries there's laws to prevent that
That's probably why most of them just ended up prostitutes. At least you'd get a tip if you're well liked
@@queerlibtardhippie9357 - yep they all got tipped all right.. all manner of STD's and the 'big tips' were gonorrhea or syphilis
This would be interesting if Americans had TV series like this. I'd rather watch this then chaotic BS like keeping up with the Kardashians
Frontier House aired on PBS in 2002
Anna labsbysmall simply not watching the Kardashians would be a great help. Personally, I've never seen the Kardashian show and prefer to watch other stuff. Mostly TED talks and a few documentaries with the occasional dystopian drama. What I am trying to say is that, no one is forcing you to watch it. Maybe if ratings flop from lack of viewership the show wouldn't be popular. Is it even still on? I honestly don't know and am not caring enough to look it up.
@@spicygnomesoup I'm not saying you shouldn't watch reality dramas or be forced to watch it, I just wish American TV offered more.. example another good one I like to watch thats a European show is "embarrassing bodies" or "supersize vs. skinny" I love watching Christian Jessen
@Christina Reynolds You don't have to be so rude, I wasn't looking for an argument.
Like a prohibition era show??...
I'm so thankful for whoever created plumbing, its practically the best invention ever
I would so love to do this in a medieval French village to try to understand the time period of my ancestors. I tend to view that time so romantically and sentimentally but what I really want is the knowledge and understanding as a young woman of what the women in my history would have gone through. It would be nice to feel connected to them.
the blonde woman is me in any situation, laughing when it’s not the right time 🗿

Nervously laughing off a difficult situation is more common than you think lol

She looks kinda like a karen

Which one?
(Tyger)
I’m loving this show! Didn’t even notice almost an hour passed by.
Thank you so much for enduring this time for our knowledge & entertainment. I've watched this particular series 4-5 times as I'm lost count. you have made me laugh out loud, smile, surprisingly angry, cry with real tears and cringe with disgust. I'm really thankful you brought everything up close and personal as so many people have never been hungry, homeless or cold. So many can't empathize for another soul and they certainly have no sympathy either. I hope this has the hearts of the many who don't believe in giving anyone help as they've either forgotten they or their family received help or they claim there's work for anyone who wants to work. Hopefully, people will open their heats and minds to the fact that one person they claim to this might fit there's another thousand more who won't eat without help. And, no one has the right to speak to anyone has harshly and rudely as those who did at the Work House. It broke my heart when they cruelly locked Ms Anne in the awful, cold room. I'm her age and I know how badly she must've ached from the cold. She was and I'm thankful she did so. I'm sure they were acting (hopefully) but that woman seemed to enjoy speaking to all of you girls terribly. We would've gotten the point regardless. Again, I thank you. You were all my favorites and you were wonderful. Much love from the USA. 🇺🇸🙏❤️🇬🇧

We should have entire landscapes devoted to different historical generations and cultures and make people experience other cultures and their practices. Call it sensitivity training for a lost humanity. I personally would love my kids to be able to experience the times I grew up in to get some perspective. Imagine how much more compassion we'd bring to the table of life and our relationships!
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I wish this place was open to the public. But only if you are willing to play the part! What a great way to see life back then. So cool!!!!
Imagine if they also had to support a family with that pay each day....
Realistically the kids would also be working with the parents if they were this poor, there were no child labour laws
I bet the children worked too though!
Does not help the lot of the people is this video did not work hard and complained all the time. Life would still be bad but if they worked hard it would be better.
Every child able to think straight would be working aswell, getting paid themselves and supporting themselves.
@@godfreyofbouillon5634 Do you really think the life of a Victorian worker got better when they worked harder? Lol no, everyone already worked themselves to the bone and it didn't earn them a penny more.
Next time you're running into a garbage man, sewer worker, cleaning lady, custodian, recycling plant worker, plumber, etc., etc., etc, make sure to thank everybody and truly appreciate how valuable their work is for our society!
I'm glad YOU KNOW.
Amen to that!
Thank gif they’re paid a lot better too, most of the jobs mentioned have higher salaries than teachers
Sewer workers get paid quite nicely, as they should. I did a tour of a waste water treatment center, a lot of those guys make 100k+...again...as they should.
its fine to appreciate them, but their salary is their thanks.... Where I am from you walk up to a garbage man and say "thanks" you will get a nasty reaction, possibly may get into a fight!
Can you imagine having a cold or the flu and having to work through it in the Victorian Era? A simple cold probably caused a lot of death among the working class because they had to do heavy labor and work with biohazards.
