    The courtiers at the Palace of Versailles used the corridors as one big toilet. I'm sure that place was always busy and there was no hope for 'private time'.

      4k yrs? I'm pretty sure they were around as a general people for maybe about 1k, and the empire was only for about 500 - 600 years. Early Egyptians were around almost 4k. That might be where you're getting confused, unless you're thinking of the Aegeans or Phoenicians.
      And before anyone argues, I took Latin and was a member of the JCL for four years of high school, focusing my early college studies in art history, world history and writing with emphasis on ancient cultures before I switched to early child development and education. So, before you argue based on a vague inclination, go look it up. I'm actually trying to help educate.

    No historical movies/tv-series could possibly afford making original costumes to all the main characters, extras etc., so yes they borrow or rent costumes. If Martha's dress is from Doctor Who, then it has also made an appearance in Marie Antoinette from 2006.

    The dresses. They were not designed in a way that made it easy to go to the toilet while wearing them, and they took an awful time to take of. Going in a "jug" was a lot simpler. Though I doubt they did it in public.... I think that's just for comedic purposes.
