Watch the fantastic Victorian drama 'The Mill' over on our sister channel All Drama:
czcams.com/video/7AfpnEFqr3s/video.html
I wish they made an episode where they go to the British Victorian army!!
truely love the idea hope more eras follow or just simply different groups in this one
Does anybody know where are those diaries from and if they are available somewhere?
I find these all of these videos very interesting and informative! I’ll definitely look into watching “The Mill”. Thank you for sharing these video’s.
Iuy
Tyger is the type of victorian boy who a rich girl would likely fall in love with
I felt that too😂
Maybe for us but I think that in those times, they were told that poor people sould be avoided like the plague so I think that the simple idea of him being a poor portman would be very revulsing for rich girls and rich people in general don't know maybe not all of them but still
@@Pingoinnn depends on what time of the Victorian era
I think i practically did after this. Lol
Pingouinnn he might be the one a daughter of a rich man would have a one time thing with or even love affair that in the end would get Tyger sent away when they were found out.
Tyger on day 1: I knicked a gold ring I did. Ain't so bad, let's go to the pub.
Tyger on day 2: "Yes sir, sorry sir" *cries in corner*
How very Victorian...
They sure straightened him up huh?
He has completely thrown himself into the role...
ok i was hanging out in the comment section while watching it....but really???
😂that's my boy.
Tyger immersing himself so much he actually felt bad for these potboys from back then.
Boy, it's a real shame they canceled this series after just one season. It had so much life left. They need a reboot ASAP. They need to pick some of the most pampered celebrities and see who survives. You really see what people are made of when put in situations like this.
The production costs were probably VERY high.
@@meb5205 not really cuz it’s a museum for the public
YES!!!! I truly wish everyone living in the 1st world nations, could experience a week like this!
I believe it would do absolute miracles for helping calm most of the strife, division and social/political turmoil that’s currently ripping apart and destroying all of us!🥺
Because it would provide an invaluable opportunity for everyone to gain some much needed perspective and appreciation for the unbelievably safe and luxurious life that we’re lucky enough to currently live in!❤️
Having come from a very poor, insanely corrupt country myself, and having worked tirelessly for more than 20 years to achieve my 2 biggest dreams in life (immigrating to/earning full American citizenship and having a little business of my own here)…
Many people get really mad at me, when I try explaining to them, that even our homeless citizens have a far higher quality of life and better care, than about 3/4 of the world’s population. That those who are just barely at the poverty line here-still have a significantly better, healthier and far more luxurious life than even the “upper middle class/lower high class” citizens, who live in basically all/any of the countries outside of the “1st world” category/demographic.
(Sorry for the long rambling comment! It’s just a topic I’m really passionate about!☺️💗👍)
It kinda of reminds me of that show with Paris Hilton where her and her friend would go around the country working jobs
@@glorygloryholeallelujah everything you just said is valid but it sounds like you are trying to invalidate poor peoples issues in 1st world countries it doesn’t matter where you are from being poor anywhere is hard. If you go to Detroit and see how poor a lot of those people are you wouldn’t be invalidating them. There’s people who are living in abandoned houses in Detroit, people who can’t eat in Detroit just people someone lives in an 1st world country doesn’t mean they can starve or struggle super hard
Anne refusing to do things and back talking is so annoying. Everyone else seems to be taking this seriously. What was she expecting when she signed up for this??
Agreed, shes just been awful. She barely even tried. She would have starved to death.
That was the opposite in the last episode
She is completely obnoxious and rude and it is completely outside of the concept of this program. She was the wrong choice for it but I would assume they knew she was like this and told her to play it up to demonstrate women of today. It's embarrassing, isn't it? She is completely annoying and makes modern women look like fools. I think most of her complaining is because she's lazy. She doesn't want to do anything so she blames something else to get out of it.
@@BAYOUTOWNProductions Modern women? She belongs in a crypt at this point xD
I suspect none of them really knew exactly what they were signing up for considering most people today have absolutely no idea how people in the past actually lived day to day...
They should do this series again with different eras. The Elizabethan Era, Middle Ages, Ancient Rome... that would be really cool
I think it would be harder the more you go back in time, because we don't know much about the lives of working class people, so it would be a lot of guess work.
would totally love to see that!!
Before the 1800s and mid-ish 1700s, there wasn't really a difference between working class people's lives from century to century so it'd be hard to pull off different eras from the perspective of working class people
There's one with a boarding school I the 60s I thi k I cant remember the same but it was interesting to watch
Oh id like to be in it!
I wish the next episode was just Ann trying to survive on the streets.
You're silly : )
Me too. It would be only historically accurate.
I know this is a heavily scripted and edited show.
However, I would have loved to have seen an episode solely dedicated to Ann wondering the streets during this era.
😂😂😂
Lol do you know who I am!!! Homeless.
The privilege of answering saying that’s fine if she’s jobless because he’s telling the truth just shows level of privilege she’s lived in real life
They should’ve made her a beggar after lol
its so annoying how the old one keeps going against everything, she wouldnt even be ALIVE now if she did this kind of thing back then ....
And your life is better because of the principled self sacrifice of people like her.
@@NotSure109 are you demented? self sacrifice of a politician who voted for brexit and pushed the amendment to bomb syria? Nice.
@@theslavicimmigrant4795 Nothing about what I said is demented. Brexit is righteous, and Jews own the government as far as middle eastern politics go, so no politician gets to vote against that and stay elected for long, and if you don't know that that is an objective fact, you're completely ignorant.
My bet is sh'e have starved to death in the stocks for being so mouthy.
@@NotSure109 Privileged self sacrifice?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......
Self Sacrifice?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The actor who pretended like he lost his ring probably saw the poor boy near to tears and didn't want to be that cruel. It's heartwarming. But in victorian times he would've kept it. A gold ring has much worth there.
what timestamp?
ryo at 38:26
21:26 actually im pretty sure
a golden ring has much worth in every era.
Yeah. He probably saw the stress of being put on the spot like that in front of strangers and then wanted to redeem himself.
I can totallyyyy see a Victorian era Netflix show like this where a dude like Tyger falls in love with a rich classy girl when she and her family stays at the inn and so on
That would be so cute
Dude fr, there's something about the way he carries himself that attracts you to him. I don't mind that quick romp in the hay with Tyger that the two other guys were joking about.
Idk why I thought Bridgerton when I read that even tho your idea sounded nothing like the show
and miquita would be the friend of tyger from childhood but would feel left out as soon as tyger meets the richer lady
Mhm!
Funny how the younger people like miquita/tiger are more willing to "work" and understand the desperation of victorian times than the supposedly older gen like anne who supposedly "know more about what hard work is" is complaining being a karen all the time
Ikr like I-
Ann is an upper-class woman born into wealth and status. She has never known "hard work"
@@NaomiGigi isn't she a politician?
@@elhombredeoro955 Not only is she a politician, but she is a politician from the party who makes up most of the people saying that
I honestly thought Ann would work harder due to her connections to the era (with her grandmother as she states at the start of EP1), even in the first ep she said sth along the lines of "you've got to do it" "thats how it was" and now she's done a complete 180. Why'd she sign up for this if she didn't wanna do it properly?
When I first saw Zoe, I kinda judged her, thinking she'd be the one to give people trouble lol... but I was wrong. Ann is annoying af.
The fact that everytime she was told "Not to speak unless spoken to" And then speaks was really annoying to me
Yeah exactly. No one is impressed by her 'morality'. She really is a piece of work
Oh agreed. "I'll eat it but I won't butcher it"
Welcome to victorian life - you either clean and butcher it or you dont get paid would have been the more adequate answer...
To be fair, it was kinda funny. Idk my humor is different. I wouldn’t be able to compose myself if I was there.
centerofthecircle666 she has morals and I salute that
WHEN TYGER SAID I WISH YOU LIVED IN THE 21ST CENTURY MATE YOUD LOVE IT. I FELT HIS EMOTIONS AND MY HEART BROKE A BIT.
Me TOOOOOO! He was so sincere!
Yes! The sweetest part of this episode
@@Jaden378 lol like what? Freedom to die?
Rayne Sorrells huh?
@@Isabel-tp4fo someone deleted their comment
Ann is exactly what I expect of someone with her politics. She drips with privilege and contempt and when she is forced to experience what life is like for the folks that are not quite so steeped in wealth and power, she finds it objectionable and unacceptable. SMH
And she'll recognize how undignified and awful the life is, but never internalize that there ARE people who have to live like this, and HER policies are what's keeping them there.
It made me so angry when she was all high and mighty about how she wouldn't cheat people out of money. Ma'am. Aren't you in government? No it wouldn't be worth it if you lost your job. Especially at your age.
i do not care about her political choices.... all politicians have been disastrous for decades. But I find hypocritical that she does not want to touch the rabbits or the pheasants while eating afterwards the meat!
@@lva9821It was quit infuriating and she should have been sent packing!
Seeing her being fired was extremely satisfying 😊
Interesting how the younger ones whom the boomers always complain that are weak, entitled and squeamish are the ones doing so well while we have Ann the old lady who constantly rides her high horse of morality was the most worthless
Gosh, yes she is the worst!
When you say "boomers" are you referring to an entire age group? When you do that, aren't you sort of perpetuating a stereotype? Do you think all boomers think the same way?
@@leahparker9033 ⚠️⚠️⚠️ pc police on the prowl here! My comment got you offended?
@@imthebestthingsinceslicedr5400 No, just weary. Any other people group you said something similar to this about, you would be drawn and quartered. I'm waiting for the day that everybody is treated with respect.
@H S Have two wrongs ever made a right?
I see grandma Karen not Immersing herself in the experience
On the contrary, she is fully immersed. Only she does not realize her station.
I like that she is honest n stands up 4 her beliefs but in those times she'd have got flogged n thrown 2 the streets regardless of her age! This program is amazing!
She forgot she's taking part in a social experiment and also that that's not what her grandmother would've done if she wanted to survive living ALL HER LIFE and not just 24 hours in a Victorian era.
Very creative using Karen as an insult, that's never been done before
@@JW-gl4yp another Karen being a Karen about insults
"You don't HAVE to do it." Well, actually, yes, yes you do.
FallenIntoSpace not really lol
@@canadey97 yes really
IF YOU DON'T YOU STARVE. Choose!
@@canadey97 If they want to experience what it was really like then yes, they have to.
😂 the irony of Anne, the politician, telling the guests they’ve been conned & robbed.
She's so annoying. She's honestly lucky to only be fired, people were probably even beat for doing the smallest mistake
I could not believe Anne in this episode! She didn't even attempt to immerse herself in her role. I was so impressed with how well the others were doing, but Anne was ruining it with her stupidity. Really wish they had kicked her off the show.
I see that this was filmed in 2015. Can you PLEAAASE reboot this show?? It's so interesting and unlike anything else out there and you learn so much.
but with spoiled children aspiring to be tiktok influencers
Rhiannon Ruadh
And Anne isn’t spoiled?
Yes pleaaasssseeeeeee
Rhiannon Ruadh I’d pay $50 for that lol
I mean, its not like the rebooted the 1700s
"I'm a former vice president of the RSPCA" yea real life doesn't care about that.
She was a conservative member of parliament
She eats pigs but won't skin a rabbit?! Hypocrite! I was vegetarian for 22 years and have been vegan for 10. When my omnivorous neighbour found a raccoon eating a rat she couldn't clean up the corpse and the organs strewn around. I did it for her. I was not responsible for the carnage so my conscious was clear. She should have skinned a rabbit and experienced what horrors she pays others to do so she may eat pigs ( who are more intelligent than dogs)
Ann's a hoot! She is so rebellious over everything! She is having none of it.
@@catholicfaithofmine2664 And she throws morals where people are trying to get atleast a bit more than they'd need... It's just not how it worked.
@@mickeykindley9885 So?
"heroically gutted that fish even though she didn't want to"
I rolled my eyes so hard I could see my brain
I love how clear it is that Ann has never experienced job insecurity. She has likely never had to seriously wonder where her next meal would be coming from, because she is willing to risk her life, albeit a fake one, to try and make change. It's a valiant effort but it really wouldn't have resulted to much with one person. (I think she's feeling a little too self-righteous about it and that attitude doesn't make her very endearing, but that's also my opinion)
When Ann said “I’m an MP” they should’ve replied “no you’re a kitchen maid ”
Are maids not important? Hahaha I bet half the people wouldn’t know how to take care of themselves without a maid. But sure go off
@@Glosoli4 you dont get the point of his comment. Ugh.
Raymond XL are you going to be okay? UUUUGGGH. 😂
@@Glosoli4 lol I agree with you I just wish someone had said that to Ann. She got the incredible opportunity to immerse herself in another time period and she wasted it by refusing to immerse herself in the time period!
@@zombieleaf And she was the one who talked the loudest about how she's looking forward to it because her grandmother lived in late Victorian. Duh.
I feel like Ann doesn't understand the basics of role playing... Girl... Just play the role, it is not about your views it is about recreating what happened back then. She really killed the vibe and the immersion!
It was her views and those of her party to which she objected. What a hypocrite.
Indeed. Shed be starving on the road because morals means absolutely nothing to them
Personally, I loved Ann lol
She was funny, but to each their own
I feel She was Needed to show What happens If you steped Out of line Back in the day. A necessary Evil
Don't forget that this is still a TV show, the directors probably told her to act up a little. I thought it was interesting because is highlights the difference between 19th century and modern morals. It makes you appreciate more what it would have been like back then if you show a little contrast
In the first episode Ann told that this is how her grandmother would've been living. Well, I did some research and Ann's maternal grandfather was a Canadian financier (James Henry Plummer). Ann's father, James Murray Widdecombe CB OBE, with his credentials was clearly from a posh family as well. Such a presumptuous old lady.
You can see she’s wrestling with that silver spoon stuck in her mouth
to be fair, she definitely acted like a posh old lady would have, maybe she heard victorian and just had a completely different idea of the social class they'd be playing.
I did some research too, she's pro death penalty, anti abortion and anti ldgt, also wants to impose anti blasphemy laws again. she's a real piece of work
maybe before she met the grandfather?
So Ann comes from a privileged family?
@@MrFredstt- Yes. Not only that but a family that bought their way into politics. Classic.
So proud of Tyger and Miquita, all of them actually, they all showed different kinds of strength. Such a great show, very happy to have discovered it and grateful to the participants.
other then anne
Except That So Called Arrogant Former MP . She Ruins The Show
What I wondered was why didn't they tell Miquita how to start the fire.
It's certainly not realistic for someone to have her job and never have seen a fireplace like that..
Most people knew how to light ANY fireplace by 20 yrs old.
I just think they ciuldve told her.
@@inthelandofmorethansmall7582 i think they were being a little racist towards her.
@@karma92sims14How so?
I dont feel like it was racist to not tell her how to start a fire. They didnt tell Ty to start a fire and in the previous episode, they didnt even tell the other two what "pure" is despite the fact that their entire job was scavenging pure.
Treating her the same as everyone else isnt racist. Did I miss something?
How disgraceful to eat meat but refuse to understand what it takes to become food.
That whole interaction made my blood boil, especially Ann's reaction. She'll go back to the 21st century and have a steak, but she doesn't have any respect for the animals that it comes from. That's what it comes down for me, respect for the animals.
Same, I could understand not wanting to butcher it, because some people are squeamish to that kind of thing; but she outright acts like she's so above doing such a task. Like c'mon you signed up for this, yet you're refusing to emerse yourself.
@@x0myspace0x If she really cared and respected them, she's not eat them, but she does, she just wants someone else to do the killing for her. And now a days it's even worse for animals then it was back then, and there's so much more suffering. Look at how pigs (she mentioned eating them) are slaughtered in the UK, principally it's done by gassing them, which is extremely painful as it burns them, chemically, from the inside out. They scream like people. The actual people who do these jobs in the 20th and 21st century regularly get PTSD from doing these jobs. What she was asked to do was nothing. If it bothers her so much, she shouldn't be eating meat. Period.
Yes, and she was very rightous about it, too. She was willing to shovel human waste because Victorian's did it, but not prepare meat. She wouldn't have had such a choice back then. Also, people were more used to it back then.
As someone who has skinned and gutted animals for food I found this extremely upsetting. Ann has no respect for those animals if she if just going waste them. Not to add that she said that anyone who does such a thing is a sociopath.
This looks absolutely miserable but for some reason that makes me want to do it????
Felisha Wagaga, ikr, I really want to do it
I would want to but im vegan id starve
Me too🤔
Anny's World ive gone a week without food, i wouldnt
Same
It's so interesting how Ann's acting in this. It's the reason why many companies don't want to hire older people because many have a 'I don't agree with that and won't do it' attitude, especially the ones with more experience, compared to someone like Tyger, his age straight out of college, first job and desperate to get real world experience, they'll do anything really. Funny enough the older attitude is more representative of a modern, spoiled attitude compared to being desperate to live and fine with doing what you're told because it means your belly will be satisfied, your bed warm, and you can live another day.
I'm kind of disappointed in Anne. Yes, morality is important, but they were working to survive. She did the bare minimum and let the other members of the team down.
I know talking about how she was proud of the other girl for gutting the fish even tho it made her cry but she wasn't doing anything to help at all, besides telling her she disint have to do it but if she didn't do it then who would because Anne obviously wouldn't. ANNDDD leaving the other two to take care of the men while she freaking slept!
@@leilanilee438especially in the first episode when one of the girls were about to throw up and said she felt degraded and how it was unsanitary all she said was “well, it was the way the Victorians lived.” Made me expect she was going full in the experience but was quick to stop at any thing she disliked
Why isn't anyone mentioning the high tension when Tyger was lied to AND on about the payment and the gold ring (which he found in the Dustyard) Oof, that made me feel for him
This poor dude is just trying to eat some food, I think he's starting to think he's actually in the Victorian Era
He will take these experiences thru life with him & hopefully will be more appreciative for things in the future & not take the opportunities & rights we enjoy for granted. THATS more so what this is about than learning about history. Its seeing how far we have come & being thankful for that progress.
I think you have a solid point here. The commentary given after reading 'his' diary, when he was almost in tears because of exhaustion and empathy, showed a character growth not seen in the previous episode. When you said he would Tyger would be"appreciative for things in the future & not take the opportunities & rights we enjoy for granted" I think you are completely, because it felt as if he wanted, if it were possible, to create a time machine to 'save' his counterpart and show that other miserable and exhausted young man the future where Tyger is so privileged to live in. This young man had a reality check;"I know it's not...but it's hard to pretend it's not real" was his comment, I think.
I thought that was a great moment of realism showing how tense and unfair life would have been for someone in his role. It was quite sweet of the producers to have the cheating customers call the innkeeper back and say "it wasn't my ring after all". They saw how stressed he was and threw him a bone. I'd have felt bad as one of those actors giving him such a hard time lolol I think they wanted to but backed off.
he got it back
Can we talk about how they got Miquia and Tiger to prepare the pig for breakfast? They were NOT about dealing with Anne and Zoe drama
Ammonia I’ll be fine if u are vegan, but if u’d eat the hare but not skin it like Anne said, then you’re merely hypocrite and double standards
I can't believe the hypocrisy and ignorance of some people. They will gladly enable others to do their murdering and butchering for them while they scarf down steaks and hamburgers etc. But lord help us if you have to actually help prepare the meat. I think some people think the meat just appears packaged that way.
is that even a real pig?
@@hom0s4cer 💯
Yup if you eat meat you should know how to prepare it from the start and appreciate the sacrifice.
Tyger when he started - "ez pz, my dream job :D"
Tyger at the end - *vomits from exhaustion*
Half of this documentary is just me wanting to punch Ann. Tyger and Miquita are the ones who carried this episode.
I freaking love Tyger on all episodes, didn't complain, played the part and was so admirable. Anne on the other hand... Funny how older generation mock and over-critique the younger generation. This just represents how skewed their generalisations are.
It’s unfair to generalize from Anne’s obnoxious behavior to all older people. My mother is 94 and she still values and respects the contributions and perspectives of younger people. She is not alone!!! There are obnoxious people in every generation.
@@eskimberly7424 This isn't an all lives matter moment Kimberly lol. Your mother is not the one being talked about. Of course there are obnoxious people in every generation.
But it's the old generations faults for normalizing such behavior. Not everyone possesses it, but it's their fault for passing it on.
Random comment but, just imagine if the Louisiana purchase never happened. How different history would be. Do you think the world would be more or less racist? Jw
@@user-bz7qg5xw6h The world has and always will be racist. Judging by your name and avatar, you also have an obsession with the most homogeneous country in the world today, where racism is extremely prevalent.
You aren't aware of your OWN generalization and blanket judgement - it's just comical.
“I’ll be jobless and it will be worth it” this woman hasnt learned shit from this whole process has she
lycoris “youve cheated them”
She was an MP and she probably takes no responsibility for anything she does in real life either
I mean, right after she moved to another job so the whole jobless thing really doesn't do anything to her and it's clear she's not even bothering to think in the mentality of that time period
Anne was acting like the main character in a Hollywood adaptation of Victorian era life, like some kind of revolutionary or something. I get where she was coming from but it was really taking away from this experience. I just wanted to see an authentic portrayal of Victorian life for the average person not a "fight for your rights" or "stand up for what you believe in" movie cliché.
Tyger could legit live there. He adapts very quickly and very well.
SO impressed with Tyger ... he just grew up in an instant. Ann went from my favorite to being utterly irritating!!!!!
I thought she was great in the first episode, but she got ridiculous in this one. The blond wasn't much better ("It's like skinning my DOG," she complained). I think both of them were annoying in this one.
That is what all adhd idiots need ... a fiew weeks education.
@KameradSohn I see your point. I still think she was an idiot about it, but you're right, Ann was WAY worse.
daffers234 Honestly, I do kind of sympathize with Zoe. Even though she was against gutting and skinning the animals, she still gutting the fishes anyway. She looked very uncomfortable with it too (her hands were also shaking). I can see how that’s very overwhelming for a first-timer.
Park ChimMin did u mixed up Zoe and Ann? Ann is the old lady and I don’t recall she gutted any fish at all 🤔
I actually almost cried for Tyger... soso unfair, and let's be honest he is giving 100% and he has the hardest job.
The ring was stolen to start and it nearly got him in trouble. Doing the wrong thing often has unforseen consequences
I hope in the future he thinks twice before cheating
Aleasha Casarez He was acting like a lot of men did back then. Like it or not, they often survived a lot better than people like Ann. Ann would be dead, Tyger would at least be alive. Its bad to cheat, but he’s gonna do better if he does.
@@aleashacasarez855 I thought that was hilarious role playing and doesn't necessarily say anything about his openness to such acts in his real life. But I know nothing about this person so who knows?
As a father I fell in love with Tyger for his attitude, spirit and likable self. I don’t agree with the stealing but it was a horrific life till they died
The change in Tyger from the first part to this one is mind blowing. I hope he carries it with him still.
I’m a 22 year old woman, vegan, and I really think they were being such babies about the skinning and plucking. My first reaction to it, before they said anything, was oh if I was there I would rather skin than pluck. The fact that they eat meat but equaled the processing of said meat, when the animal was already dead, to an act of a psychopath, was such hypocrisy.
Since you mentioned you're vegan, do you worry much about nutrition and meal planning in that regard? I hear that you need to be more nutritionally conscious with your diet compared to an omnivorous one.
@@josephpostma1787 I’m quite lazy, and don’t really like cooking either, so I just take a vegan multivitamin supplement and eat what I feel like. I naturally like vegetables, berries, and fruits, so I haven’t really had any trouble even though I don’t meal plan. Many vegan products also take nutrition into account, so it’s really not as hard as people think. At least in my experience.
@@josephpostma1787 The vegan supplement is vital though, as there is one vitamin, B2, that you can’t get from a solely vegan diet. (You don’t need to take it if you’re just going vegetarian though.)
i find it funny how she said she wanted to know how her grandmother lived then pulled out a rank card when she was asked to skin rabbits like it was supposed to matter XD
Her grandmother would’ve been disappointed I think.
She's old money her grandmother probably wasn't working.

@@newgabe09 NO WAYYYYYY IM SCREECHING!!!!!
Wasn’t Anne the one shaming Miquita over being physically unable to work with the horse manure in the first episode? What happened to just getting on with it and working hard Anne 😂 How insufferable!
Anne represents the hypocrisy of political stations to a tee. Stresses traditional values in her political image but refuses to do the harder tasks and even tries to call out her political station as if it gives her authority to refuse.
she's conservative anyway, believes in all thr things conservatives believed back then, who were in charge of keeping the poor like this. she's anti abortion, pro death penalty, pro anti blasphemy and anti lbgt. she's literally a hypocrite on so many levels.
They should offer a Victorian bookcamp for young teens that take their comforts for granted. I'd pay to go through this just for the humbling experience.
Giselle Najera Same. I would absolutely love to do something like this.
Giselle Najera absolutely. Thats what makes this show so enjoyable is seeing people realize what they have.
Yes....
But with corsets.
Ok boomer
Who said it's just teens?
Tiger and miquia are absolute legends throughout the whole of this. the way they address people etc. Right after tiger almost got scammed and starved for the night, he turned back around and asked if they wanted anything. I love this boy
Yeah that melt my heart. Even if at first he was a naughty boy.
I’m loving his character. Gosh it was an awful era to live through if you weren’t wealthy.
Yes, that boy have spirit
if that was me i would be like F*** you, i'm not serving you
Having worked in the service industry in the US, even part time, I feel like I can somewhat empathise with Tiger's experience with demanding orders. I feel so bad for him. The emotional toll that this takes on a person is astronomical.
It's kind of upsetting how I don't think many of them realize some people in modern countries still have to work this hard without much choice today. But ultimately a very interesting watch. I'm even more grateful for the little privileges I have today..
Miqita gets it- really touching moment when she read that servant girl’s diary- the bit about going through half the stuff that someone half her age had to experience
Tyger gets it. He fully understands that this is replicating the world of our ancestors and how helpless and hopeless they must have felt in these situations. Of anyone truly understands this whole thing.
eventually. In the actual book by Dickens (Oliver Twist) the dodger was the cheeky charmer of the musical Oliver. He was risking imprisonment and the workhouse
He does
"Born in 1996" Dear lord I'm old!
Yess and when he read the diary “you would’ve loved the 21st century” 🥺😩 dang.
He felt an emotional connection towards the person from the diary and was heart touched by it
Respect for Tyger this episode. They really ran poor him around. But, he responded like he was actually in that time!
Yes he didn't flinch or talk back.

Anne honestly wouldn’t survive. Yeah, they were cheating them, but the people that were eating there had cheated and lied to get to where they are too. That’s the kind of world it was, and sadly still is
If life was this rough in the 1800s, imagine how bad people had it during the Middle Ages, Roman Times, or the stone age
Ikr
true life definitely would've been so rough back in the Middle Ages etc. but also this was the period of the Industrial Revolution and capitalism leading to high levels of exploitation in the working class etc so I reckon that although those times would have been rough, the lives of people in the 1800s would have been particularly grueling
@@nigellamcauliffe1688 I agree; I think this time period would have been the most grueling- the crushing capitalism combined with the lack of antibiotics and filthy environments of earlier periods would have been just awful. Life was always hard but for the most part it was simple. Industrialization sped things up and made it all more complicated.
I think it’s telling how some who eat meat can’t stand contact with it. A véritable disconnect between reality. Where do people think their food comes from?
Nowadays it's growing on shelves in supermarket, don't you know that. :D
Otherwise, I agree. Most are disconnected, doesn't matter if they eat meat ("can't gut it") or not (doesn't realize or is ignorant how many animals (including sentient ones) are killed for foods that can be categorized as vegan and find a way to justify it as okay). Life eats/kills life, there's no way around it.
And the attitude of those two ladies is horrible.
To be fair, if someone eats meat sómetimes and is a member of the RSPCA, you can imagine they wouldn't like to gut a fish or skin a rabbit.
I eat meat twice a month on average (simply because I've noticed I get slow, tired and vééééry pale without that) but it's biological and it's less than a small handful.
I mean, if you asked me to skin a rabbit, likening my pet bunny that has recently passed, I wouldn't do it either. And the woman that was crying, while the blood of the fish came squirting out, she continued, didn't she? Despite witnessing something shocking she hadn't seen before and hasn't been brought up with. People in victorian times saw animal-slaughtering or cruelty happening on the streets, what did it matter, but her brain connects this to hurting the fish and/or unneccessarily killing something.
@@Widdekuu91 That's the thing here. She has never seen it before although it's an inevitable part of life and everyone should acknowledge that in order for them to live something else has to die, over and over again. Even if the person is vegan as growing plants includes pest control = killing million of animals. Why is killing a fish or a rabbit worse than killing a deer, a hog or a field mouse? It's better because we don't get to see it and then it's somehow "better option"? People should wake up to the reality.
@@molekyyli
Acknowledging it is one thing, but you also need to accept the response to that task can be intense.
She knows where her food comes from, but obviously isn't comfortable with eating a lot of meat herself or tries to avoid it, same with Anne. I try to avoid buying plastic as much as possible, yet I still buy it (some stuff I need, simply is wrapped in plastic. I didn't do that.)
If someone asks me to throw 4 bags of plastic into the sea, I might cry as well. Even though many people do it and some of what you recycle, will still end up damaging the earth.
Youknow what I mean? And growing plants doesn't always include pest controll as in murdering the animals. My mom has a garden, she catches the snails in a bucket and throws them into a random field. She puts the carrots up on a higher part of the garden, fences, trays, etcetera.
A great example of two spoiled privileged ladies that are very disconnected from how reality functions... disgusting to watch them refuse. I love animals but you are immersing into a different era - no one is asking you to become a villain and torture living things - just freaking prepare food. Have they never plucked a chicken? Or chickens grow as prepared skinned meats in the supermarket. Just obnoxious.....they pretty much would have died of starvation in Victorian times.
Ann: I'm here to see what my gran went through!
Also Ann: *Complains and refuses to do anything.*
Like she even admits that it's what they had to do to live and stuff yet she refused
And? She's adding an entertaining and principled element to the show.
She’s ridiculous
Yes she did but she is also unable to accept the realities of the time period. Also, in real life she's not used to giving in. She was an MP so she was always not agreeing. And no way, no way that people like Anne didn't exist in the 1840ies. But we always know the men who fought their situation. Women are a rarity.
That’s the truth, but isn’t that Kayadae’s lie.
And she went back to bed when the other women had to stay up until the officers left
that old women always finds the loopholes to get out of doing work.
She isn't finding loopholes, she's just refusing to do it
@@korinnab.2318 Right, she literally just ditched the kitchen ladies 😭
I would literally pay for a different season of this series but with the wild west era, medieval era, Egyptian era, Rome era, and many more.
As much as I am annoyed by the old lady, there s no use of complaining “replace her, get her out of the show etc.” because the show was filmed damn 5 years ago
Not to mention she's being decent and principled, and self sacrificing to boot. She lost her job for doing the right thing. We all live in the world we do today because of people like her.
Why did it take this channel 5 years to upload this? We're they acquiring the rights?
Oh its that old??? How come they uploaded it recently?
Not Sure all she had to do was skin the animals bruv
shes funny
Everything that they did in this episode I did almost daily in my childhood. Milking and feeding cattle, slaughtering, shoveling muck, cleaning fish, prepare food, ... it was just our daily routine. I was only 9 years old when I milked 60 goats alone. My father died when I was 8 years old and my mother fell into a depression. You can't be picky and refuse to do anything on a small farm, otherwise you will be without food.
Your username fits your story very well. Hopefully, you've been able to find a more comfortable and fulfilling life :)
Wow! It must have taught you a lot.
What a strong boy 😭
My mom was the same worked on a farm from birth her mom died when she was 11 her dad abused her and she was dirt poor worked hard to just live she survived a deadly trip to America were she had me and my sis I want her to have the best life possible so I'm working hard to get into college I couldn't imagine going through that
You guys are so strong I salute you
respect
My favorites are definitely colin, tyger, and miquita. Colin's funny and hardworking, as is tyger, and miquita recognizes how hard it is to work and tries her best.
I felt so bad for the young lad who was lied to by the customers, he was already in so much stress because of his position, you could hear in his voice how anxious he was at the moment. : ( And I just despise Ann's behaviour, she is always mentioning how hard it was for people in that era etc.... but she cannot even put herself in that situation. She views it as a game, as she thought there was 'options'. The whole purpose of this is to experience this as people in the past had to, they did not have an option, it was for their lives' worth.
I really don’t like Ann why is she even there if she’s not willing to participate? She’s just making everyone else’s job harder.
And ruining the show. Laughing and not obeying. They should be put in jail to pull them into line.
she's old and also being tired doesn't help her stubborness
@@dalimilmatousek4074 being old, doesn't automatically make someone a grump, you excusing it like that is excusing a child acting badly. She's on TV, she's on a show where she's supposed to conform to that era.. She's doesn't and never does, she keeps complaining and not doing what she's asked. She's brining the whole team down.
I think she's an example of why people didn't survive long into old age in the working classes. And also highlights widow and orphan funds from parishes.
@@runningfromabear8354 How is she an example of why people didn't survive long into old age in the working classes? The poor and the working class didn't survive because they couldn't afford better dwellings nor could they afford Dr's/medicines that the upper classes could...It really isn't any different to today's world in that respect.
I love how this show completely erases my romantic notions of Victorian England
Peter Anthony sameeeee, I really wanted to show this to those people that said they born in the wrong generation
You just have to admire how well the actors pulled this off. And you also have to respect how the Victorians pulled off living.
I love that they remembered the people with their diaries who lives made ours possible from their back breaking work and graft. Bless them all in heaven.
Ann is just all wrong for this. To much "I'm not doing that" and to much back talk. She's just not getting into character at all
They probably asked people to misbehave for the "drama" asect so they could lecture about what would happen if someone did that in that situation for that time period. Such are reality TV shows.
Perhaps she is supposed to be a lady used to be a well to do person, but has fallen on harder times.
She is a hypocrite. She lied and cheated the British people so she could get her brexit.
I find it funny she was chastising the other lady for gagging at the overwhelming smell of working in a street full of manure (still did the job though) because "that's what the Victorians had to do" yet she very rudely flat out refused to do her kitchen duty. How do you be so harsh to criticize others yet stick your own nose up at your duties? At least the other lady went through with it.
Yoonmi Kim they do the fake drama on american shows, not so much british so I doubt it. This episode and last the old lady acted the same with lecturing about morals and so on. She would not survive in victorian times as you had to hustle however you could and many people were cheating each other. She'd probably be regarded as the poor hag down the street that kids would be afraid of
"We work phenomenally together," says the one who at night literally went back to sleep when everyone else was doing their job.
"Handsome military men" I love it 😂🤣♥️
39:44 was kinda impressive. Managed to get the two to break character
Miquita: "'scuse me me ma'am"
*man opens the door*
Why was this showed cancelled after only one season?? This was fun to watch
I guess the costs where too high. All these actors, animals, places... But really sad nevertheless.
Granny probably sued them for having 'no morals"
I kept thinking while watching this how expensive this must’ve been to film. I’d imagine that’s why. It’s not like Surviver where the challenges involve making things out of cheap materials and whatever, each job they have involves an entire Victorian village or manor just about with a ton of extras being in character. I wish they could’ve made more seasons, I thought this was really interesting.
@@jessica_jam4386 they could have cut some costs by monetizing the city when filming wasn't taking place. So people could pay to live a day or a week in victorian fashion learning, and then have a show where wealthy or famous people would do it where they wouldn't have the normal tourist groups blundering around. I would pay to do historical things like these as a learning experience or escape from modern life and struggles. Plus, they could make bank on merchandise or planned lesson times. Kind of like an interactive museum
Ill work there for free ngl
After refusing to do literally anything in this show, Anne should have been kicked off and replaced with someone who would actually TRY. In my opinion, she should not have been praised at the end of the episode for her moral standings. She would have been fired, on the streets, and starving if she was in that position.
Love this show, though! Keep it coming!
False, she didn't "refuse to do anything".
Killjoys are really everywhere!!
Exactlyyyyy she's just ruining the whole experience of the show. I believe the producer's missed the most important aspect of that era. The unfairness of the bosses and discipline. BC if Ann spoke to any of the bosses like that in the real Victorian times she would have gotten kicked out and I felt like they should have done that in the show to complete the experience
this was made 5 years ago
yeah especially after her in the first episode trying to remind others that people back then had no choice so they should get on with it lol
„I‘d probably have a cigarette and watch Family Guy“ absolutely killed me😂😂😂😂😭
Ann would have been beat in real Victorian England for her constant disrespect. So frustrating to see her not take this seriously because they cannot punish her.
Ann would have had a much different attitude if she really lived in Victorian times. The very real threat of beatings, homelessness and starvation would have kept her from popping off to superiors.
She surely would've died
Yes, but on the other hand, without people like her, women would never have got the vote, children would still be working, we'd never have gotten the 8-hour day nor the minimum wage etc. etc.
I can understand the way Ann thinks but the reason for this was to show how different life was back then. Her refusing to do anything just undermines the whole thing. Yes, it was not all nice, honest work but I believe the show wants to show these differences and Ann just looks at it from a 21 century persons view. I wished instead she would use this experience to understand how far we've come and what things are still as bad and need to change.
Well said. The dressing up bit (at 38:46) with the laughter was funny. Other than that, she annoyed me.
Agreed
and most ironically, in the first episode she keeps on scolding her "team mates" that "that's how people used to live" when they were reluctant to do something at first. Extremely hypocritical.
They did say that her sort of moral action wasn't unknown in period during the debriefing. The refusal to butcher a beast on the other hand, that severely compromised her moral high-ground.
Couldn't have put it better! She annoys me; she doesn't make any effort or take it seriously.
I seriously hate reality shows but this i love watching. No one has been completely awful. Even with the 'conflict' that had a valid reason. Such a pleasant show and it's amazing to watching these people grow through this experience. Like Tyger seems like a different person in this than the first episode.
Tyger is the best-least complaining. I believe in that age he’d have come up from poverty to be a wealthy and successful man that would treat his help right, remembering his own personal tribulations.
Mhm!
Colin's the least complaining to me in my opinion. Tyger did some shady stuff in other episodes.
It was near impossible to do so, he would sooner win the lottery
Unfortunately upward mobility really wasn't a thing back then. It was basically impossible to go from being as poor as these people would've been to being wealthy. It was almost impossible just to change jobs - you had ONE trade, and you worked that trade your entire life and just hoped it never went away.
No chance. How would he have come up from poverty while only being paid enough to barely make rent and eat each day? He never would have been able to afford the property necessary to open his own business. He would have been locked in that life until he died, no matter how hard working he was.
I love the enthusiasm of Victorian expert Ruth Goodman, she's so passionate about this history! She really makes me smile when she's filling us in on the details of Victorian lives. What a gem.
Ammonia rude
She’s in a series called life on the Victorian farm where she does this stuff with two other guys for a year!
YEAH I AGREE
@@heatherthevictorianghost She's also in the series where her and two other guys went to France to live at an experimental medieval castle building site for 6 months. That's where I first saw her, this is the second one. I smiled seeing her, really passionate and well informed indeed (afair she's a historian too).
To be fair, that old lady ruined it for everyone, and unless she sparked some serious revolution in the either of their lifetime, she only hurt everyone.
I feel like she would have sparked some sort of revolution! I know if i lived during that time period, i would have listened to her and probably found her somewhat inspiring. I think she did a powerful job...being honest, and standing up for herself and others. Yeah, some think she might be annoying, but everything she was saying are straight up facts to live by.

Ann was SO rude. She won’t do any of the work she’s asked to do and then she sabotages the others work that she has no part in. She has no respect for the people around her
HAHAHA she literally cost herself a job because of how MUCH she respected others...
@@NotSure109 No, she was being selfish. Because of her moral pride, she goes and leaves the job leaving _everyone else participating_ to do the work. She left them in the dust because inside she knew she wasn't actually going to starve, and she wasn't actually in the 19th century, and this was never actually her job. She doesn't understand the concept of this show, and because of her thick-headedness, she risked leaving her fellow workers to starve, instead of helping them, and contributing to what life was truly like at this time!
Nobody's impressed by her morality, she's acting like a princess, and not thinking things through. This is an experience she's wasted.
*Everyone else younger than her knew that the inn cheating was morally wrong too.* But the difference is, they knew if they left they wouldn't survive because it was f*cking 1840, and they were risking their LIVES.
She never cared, she can't put herself in these poor people's shoes and understand the true value of their lives. I'm sure her grandma was rich in that time, probably never had to live like this, just observing the bratty way Ann's acting right now.
@@NotSure109 Man you really got the hots for this woman, mate. Nothing she did in this episode was respectful or proper in this time period, and she refused to do so many things
The old lady's remark about morality shows that she simply isn't hungry enough. She behaves as if she had options.
It doesn't take very long to adjust to basic work chores. It never fails to amaze me how profoundly sheltered some modern 21st century people are to the natural world. Imagine being that disgusted preparing dinner because you'd never actually gutted a fish before, or saying you'd eat pork but never be willing to prepare it?
The 21st century would be put on display as a freak show by the 19th century if they could see us now I do believe.
Indeed I have seen my mother gutting fish before and have cut pork and to see their reaction was bizzare to me
they're celebrities though, most average households do know how to do these things themselves
This reminds me of how grateful I should be to live in the 21st century every day.
That's why I always watch this kind of vid, to remind my overthinking self to wake up and be grateful😅
Tyger really has gotten into it. It feels like he's really someone from the victorian era.
I smell reincarnation lol
the way he looks too like he just fits it so well
@@adriaunaa5745 wait isnt he an actor like the rest of the peoples?
Love him for that.
Anne having come to the show to see how her grandmother lived should understand better than anyone how things worked. Losing your job and having no means of eating is certainly not worth it just to tell the truth... how does she not realize that moral standards back then were not the same as now
The irony is, she’s conservative and anti lgbt. She’s against today’s moral standards too. I wanna know what time frame has the correct morality. Judging by her political stances, I’m guessing 1953.
@@IAmAnEvilTaco Ohh, everything makes sense now.
The moral standards were only different back then because so few people wanted to risk their lives to speak out against those practices.
However, thanks to the minority of people who took that risk, that's why those working conditions no longer exist in some countries.
That's why the topic of work reform is so prevalent throughout this series. There was an uprise of people like Ann who were not afraid to speak out against those practices during this time particular time period.
I can only imagine what her grandmother would have said if she saw her acting like this. She would have not been impressed.
Is there any wonder why this lasted only one season when these are celebrities
24:15 "This is their first meal in 6 hours"!! yeah, that's normal!! to this day, some people have one meal a day
Miquita and tiger have such cute, sibling like interactions
As a horse person, I cannot imagine how hard it was for the guys to learn how to change driving gear so quickly. If you aren't used to it, all the leather, buckles and straps can just confound. The gals who eat meat but won't butcher an animal, confuse me no end.
To be fair: It's a completely different experience to engage or witness in butchering an animal opposed to only seeing the finished "product " afterwards.
@@bonniehowell4259 True, but at least give it an honest try. It's the most basic level of respect for the animals we eat every day.
@@x0myspace0x it's easy to say but the way society is nowadays has created a huge disconnect, i highly doubt it would be easy for someone who wasn't raised to do it
I get the squeamishness of the ladies, but the animals are already dead. To not make use of them is wasteful and means they died in vain.
my cousin who’s like 12 assists my uncle in cutting a chicken’s neck and he doesn’t even flinch. I witnessed pigs and chickens killed just before celebrations for the food so the sight of it is not new to me as well though if i was in their place i would be weirded out but i would still like to learn how to do it, i remember when i first gutted fish and it was a hard experience for a child but the more you do it you just get used to it.

What a hypocrite .. I may eat pork but I do not work in an abatoir.
I thought so, too.
Exactly! Legit hypocrite.
Yeah exactly, they aren’t even killing the animals, which could be absolutely legit in that environment. Skinning and gutting is nothing. There’s skinned rabbits at the grocery store, how do these people think they get that way?
I would have liked that you'd get the opportunity to learn how to skin a rabbit. It's already dead and learning about the animal, its meat and the anatomy of the creature.
Val Kyrie exactly. And frankly, it would have been more honorable and ethical. Usually, the problem comes from mass consumption and disconnection from the reality of killing food. So she’s not really doing herself a favour by getting all high and mighty 🤦🏼♀️
"Miquita should be doing the laundry, but she's been trying to light a fire for nearly an hour." Me whenever I have any important chore to do but decide to go muck about on something trivial for way too long.
But she has to light the fire as well. She just couldn't figure out how to do it with that tinder box thing. The fire was important to warm the guests room. So she was behind on schedule, I don't think she was mucking around.
