Obviously the poor people are in Heaven with everything they need and the rich people are in Hell working hard and hardly having anything they need, serves them right.
Better than to exposed to the harmful chemicals in the factory, I guess. Besides, I heard that prisoners were more well-fed than the people in the workhouse at that time.
some were well-meaning philanthropists. there's even another sketch o horrible histories relating to wealthy industrialists setting up model neighborhoods for their workers, with the radical thought that if the workers live in stable and clean environments, they make for better workers. this practice was, of course, the exception rather than the rule. it was the natal stages of industrialization and unions were not even a concept yet.
Reminds me of the Georgians. Also, some Victorians attempted to help the slum by tearing it down and making nicer buildings, but it was too expensive to live in so most of the slum inhabitants wound up on the streets!!!
Middle Class person (an Nouveau Riche) would always be the nasty ones. Only the Upper Classmen are bound by their duty and honor to be civil and polite.
Believe me, there are plenty of people in the UK who STILL have the attitude of the rich in this example. Most MPs to start with. "Oh deary me you vulgar oiks, can't have more money and we are going to cut the little you do have. We shall, naturally, be giving ourselves a 10 per cent increase plus our expenses".
I love how rattus makes something bad and very serios from history funny, this is making it more child friendly. I loved this as a child (and still do at 15)
There is a sketch in Series 1 about the children that joined the Hitler Youth and they were most of the soldiers in Berlin when the Allies stormed into the capital. As they were forced to fight or be killed for cowardice. This is one of the very few sketches that Rattus doesn't laugh or joke about
Love this programme - check out the songs.... A Bowie Charles Darwin, Morrisey Charles Dickens, a rapping Rosa Parks, crooner Wil Shakespeare. It's very, very clever and only the BBC can do this.....
i swear these always go one of two ways: a. everyone hates it b. literally only one person hates it and it's usually the wife of the richer of the two parties
Oh my, yes! It wasn't just because of creases, though! Papers were literally hot off the presses and super fresh when they arrived. Apart from making the pages straighter, ironing them dried out the still wet ink so it wouldn't make a big mess. This was only done in the mornings though, I believe. Late editions you'd pick up on the street certainly wouldn't be ironed for your convenience!
Well at least the Smikes will get sent to Australia for that, if they can survive the voyage and the two or three years hard labor they will never have to worry about freezing to death again. Heatstroke might be another matter.
As an American, I find it quite fascinating to hear all the different accents these British actors can do. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Tumbleby Pumbelchooks are using a heightened rp accent and the Smikes speak using an extremely thick cockney accent.
Michael: You couldn't be further from the truth. It sickens me that you would pollute the web with the lies that the left has filled you. We want everyone to have the same chances, you simply need to work hard, like the rest of us have to further our shared American Dream.
Yes but, Victoria was truly loved by her subjects, ( to be fair probably not too hard considering that the Monarchs that were before her were extremely hated) and Victoria and Albert both knew the threat was there and took great precaution not to cause a revolution.
its a running joke they have with all the historical wife swap, the posh women always faints cos actually they used to wear corsets so tight that they did pass out!
“A dead body!”
*kick*
“Oh yeah”
He could have said "' 'ee's quite dead, ye see?" instead...
Obviously the poor people are in Heaven with everything they need and the rich people are in Hell working hard and hardly having anything they need, serves them right.
When she fainted on the floor he should have said ‘Or you can sleep there’
Lauren Willcox should have*

Can't blame her you'd probably get a disease by doing so
Well, if the Smikes stole coal, they'd be transported to Australia, I think!
Sinead Dowling such is life.

Bingo you're right! 👀😮
Better than to exposed to the harmful chemicals in the factory, I guess. Besides, I heard that prisoners were more well-fed than the people in the workhouse at that time.
I was hoping that the richer Victorians would be nicer and be merciful to the poorer Victorans. I guess I was naive.

I... don't think they were trying to help them when they were tearing down their homes, they just wanted to gain money...
The kitkat owner made homes for his workers.

Haha that is totally relatable this year, with the MPs pay increase. 🤣 🙃
Even worse now
Just call them peasants as only monarchy isn’t classed as peasants but everyone else in the UK.
"Don't touch me" LOL.
"We can still hear you." "I know!"
When she fainted on the floor he should of said or you can sleep there
I'm glad these videos are back, they bring the fondest memories, thank you for being back
"Ahh a dead body."
"Oh yeah so there is."
ahahahahahahhahhahhha

@Thought for Food people lived like this under socialism too.

So does child sex slavery, child marriage, child labour, child abuse, child neglect.
@@ben_retrop5179 it’s an example of why socialism by itself will never work :)

The costumes are sooo historically accurate!
I know right
One of the best and a favorite of mine is "You've Been Artois'd". It's so funny. my first and the reason why i love this show.
As Artois would say *WOO HOO*
Shit, the Victorians make the Medieval Lords, Renaissance Kings, and corrupt Popes all look like Enlightenment Philosophes.
Haha! This is funny and I love the little random facts that pop up!
Oh my god, Lawry looks about twelve in that outfit. So adorable, I just want to keep him in my pocket!
Lol, I like how she kept saying "dont touch me!" :P

Oh the glory of capitalism XP
Because Communism is a lovely alternative
True, I believe there is no charge for a bed in a Gaulag.(?Spelling?).
gabriel bello How is this capitalism? They have a caste system.

Tankie piece of shit

Capitalism at work.

LaLa Lee yes allowing companies to exploit workers and the environment truly the American dream
How come the Victorians come after the French Royalty and they're even worse compared to the French King?
French royalty would be French and Victorians were English plus most people were just normal rather than filthy rich and stuck up posh people
Yes but, Victoria was truly loved by her subjects, ( to be fair probably not too hard considering that the Monarchs that were before her were extremely hated) and Victoria and Albert both knew the threat was there and took great precaution not to cause a revolution.
0:43 Bruh.
Oh look, what the ultra rich in America want to go back to!
The names themselves are worth watching for. But to be honest, this is the saddest one I’ve watched. The little match girl.
The basis for Dickinson's story. Still a tearjerker over a century later.
Ok I know why my rich ancestors acted
watching for my english work 😭😭
Good video love it.❤️ it helps me learn🔗.
My tablet is gonna die💀 1:34
Good old days eh? Codswallop! I swear the next person who has the nerve to say "the good old days" will have their ears boxed by me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ive seen some bad wife swaps but this takes the cake as the most unfair one xD
Good Lord, Ben in that suit.......
Hope they do one of Edwardians. Maybe the posh husband would know King Edward VII 😂
Don’t touch me 🤣🤣🤣 LoL
0:20 What kind of accent it that?!
I barely undrestand it!
Maery the Greek Cockney I think
@@simrenbajaj6000 Oh my God!
As a foreigner it sounded like chinese to me,lol!
@@simrenbajaj6000 It is Cockey.
?? She said “forgive my excitement sir but I’ve never been in such a grand house before”. Didn’t really sound like cockney?
My toenail randomly fell off 😮 0:46
What is the song at the start? Btw HH is awesome
2:14 av got TB
Loved loved love loved loved love love loved love loved loved
Is it normal that I think Mr. Tumbleby Pumblechook looks kinda hot..?
Martha looks really pretty!
this 1 is my fave wife swap xx
Tell this to the Libertarians.
That's the guy from mindhorn..the one with the snip...
Oh look, what ancaps want!
They don't have cameras in those days
Yes they did
Yes they did but they weren't as good
Back in the age of pure capitalism. 0_o
The GOP is actively working to make this the new reality in the US. Donald Trump even wants to make crime an offense. Not his own crimes, mind you.
2:36 she has corona
maybe they worked 7 days a week because there was no concept of "week end" back then
Yes, I don’t know when it came in, but I’m fairly sure the middle class Edwardians introduced it
“Don’t touch me” 😂
These are great 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Mrs. Tumbly-umbly-umbly-umbly-umbly Rumbleduke
does anyone know what episode this is from
What episode was this???
I wish there were an American version of this..
the closest is drunk histories
and that's not even for kids!
I think British television and programming is better than our own, no offense to other Americans...
I got tb😂😂😂
Well there was a concept of weekend before the industrial revolution
siomoin is so funny
GYE? Asking series, what and where is GYE? On-line searching doesn't narrow it down much.
erm yes that as well, if u watch the other HH wife swap they also faint it all of them. espec the French one!
7 Victorian ladies fainted after watching this video.
Yeah it does seem to have a bit of class struggle added in...
2:45 Wow, look how pretty that little girl is.
1:47 Too tight of a corset! (Just spam click the time)
1:46
3:07
I do hate a crease in my paper lol 😂📄
Ben as Perkins😍😍
Were are you
!!!!
What's a week-end? XD
They actually did iron newspapers.
Yeah... DONT TOUCH ME!
its a running joke they have with all the historical wife swap, the posh women always faints cos actually they used to wear corsets so tight that they did pass out!
Historical wife swap
poor Victorian very very short alot off them had stunted growth
Arthur Morgan: 2:17
I don't care if I'd be poor. I wanna marry Mr. Smike
Your kids will suffer and so would you trust me that attraction will fade in such circumstances.
I always worked 7 days a week too.
A crease in the newspaper and ironing it? SERIOUSLY?
Not really, it was primarily to dry the ink as the paper would be fresh off the press. The ironing thing does de-crease it though.
Oh boy, a new wife swap!
Don't touch me.
