  • It is now the Georgian period and the group are on a farm where the women must milk goats and make butter and cheese, as well as bake bread. The men must tend to the livestock, sprucing up the animals for the gentleman farmer's inspection, and it is Chris, usually the loose cannon of the team, who comes in for the most praise.

    My Great Grandmother was a cook to King Edward. She was considered a 2nd class citizen as a servant because of her position. My Great Grandfather was a bricklayer and considered a 3rd class citizen under the class system back in the day. They immigrated to USA and my Great Grandfather opened his own building bussiness and built a lot of the town he moved to including surrounding areas. He was able to buy a house and raise his family. The house still is in the family to this day.

      Having seen several of these experimental archeology shows in the U.S. I am glad to see that she's as enthusiastic about the experience, when in the Colonial House series or the Pioneer House series, the Americans were constantly cheating and sneaking and refusing to embrace the experience fully. Kind of ruins the experience for the viewers and takes away from the experience of living the past.

      and why wouldn't she be good at cooking and decision making?
      Actors in Hollywood are just like all of us;
      and usually prior to their big break, would have labored over many varied jobs. I have heard big stars saying they worked as short-order cooks, waiters/waitresses, gas station attendant, barber, garbage collector, landscaper, construction worker, store manager, auto mechanic, dancers/singers, etc.
      Perhaps renowned actors discovered as children, like the Olsen twins, may never have learned life skills of making a living. But I think if deep in a person's character they are hard workers with strong discipline, anyone can apply themselves and be good at most things tried.

      @mariecarie1 Před 2 lety +5

      Bless your heart! You're absolutely right. However, what sucks with OCD is it's not about logical fear. It's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder -- meaning the fear trigger is a larger-than-life fixation that is extremely hard, if impossible, to override with logic. It all depends on the severity of the disorder as to whether mind-over-matter is enough to push through it.
      That said, with medication, therapy AND your optimism, one might be able to bring it under a reasonable level of control. Chris’s mind over matter attitude was enough for him. He said it was like a switch went off in his brain--his determination to get the job done was enough to override his irrational fixation and fear. So your optimism and empowering thoughts can help!

    I find it amazing how in their last episode of edwardian history they called all of the women "Jane" yet this one they used their actual names..it seemed to be such a huge issue for them to not be called by their names last time so it's kinda interesting to see how that one simple gesture makes !!

    • @davriecaro3036
      @davriecaro3036 Před 3 lety +12

      The Victorian Edwardian era could be considered a time when the status (in society and financially) of servants are very strict. Well at least compared to earlier periods
      (there was still class distinctions between master and servants, but not in the same way in the Victorian and Edwardian era.)
      As you can see in the 18th-century servants were allowed to wear clothes ( which enables them to dress as nice as they could afford on their salary) and use their own names.
      The servants in the 18th century, have been known to dress so nicely that there have been many satirical prints that make fun of the fact that maids dress as nicely as their mistresses.
      Search "John Raphael Smith “Like Mistress-Like Maid” 1781" to see what I mean
      Fashion was something accessible to everyone thanks to cast-off clothing from the rich. Daniel Defoe wrote about it in a pamphlet in the 1720s which said ,
      " It is a hard Matter to know the Mistress from the Maid by their Dress, nay very often the Maid shall be the much finer of the two… The Apparel of our Women-Servants should be regulated… I am entirely against any Servants wearing of Silks, Laces, and other superfluous Finery; it sets them above themselves, and makes their Mistresses contemptible in their Eyes."
      You can actually see the change of the attitude towards servants in this documentary

      Yeah The Edwardian mistress looked like she had a nasty smell permanently lodged up her nose. The Georgian work while hard and life far from our modern "comforts " was a step up. Of course it's also possible the gang just got lucky this go around.

    • @--enyo--
      @--enyo-- Před rokem +5

      My understanding is that calling someone by their first name in this time period was actually a sign of their inferiority. For example a mistress would call servants by their first names, but if you read Jane Austen or other works from the Georgian period you will notice everyone calls their equals and superiors "Miss so-and-so" "Mr such-and-such" or by whichever title they hold. Even wives in their homes refer to their husbands as "Mr ". Basically it's being respectful. So in this case calling them by their first names is less friendly and more a sign of reinforcing class and status.

A bake oven has a fire that heats up the body of the oven. Then the fire is raked out, then a mop is used to remove the ash and then the baking is done with the heat that the oven has stored.

    ***AWESOME TWIST ON PRESENTING HISTORY*** The intro mentioned 2015 as the year they were being "Time Crashed" from... it's 2021 and this is the first I've ever heard of this incredible show!! What an innovative and engaging way to present history!! Seeing real people actually living through, and doing, the hardest and worst parts of the life of a "lower class" person from that time has a way of taking it off the page (or screen, in this case) and making it a very "visceral" experience for the viewer.
    Unlike the traditional narrative vehicle or a even a full-on biographical film of the time, the fact that the show is part "Survivor" and part "History Channel", noting things like "matches hadn't been invented yet" and "granulated sugar wouldn't be invented for another century", while watching Kirstie work the tinder box to start fire or Zoe shave the sugar or Michelle spending 4 hours(!!) to make the butter, really brings the struggles of that time period to life in a way that's as close to "virtual reality" as it gets!
