      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.

      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

    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!
