I love the train conductor just constantly laughing at him as he suffers. The dude's an angel.
-
Tony Robinson may be the best sport in human history. I have the highest admiration for him and all those involved in this show.
-
i like how he shines the spot light like directly in that guys face lol 14:46
-
That little boy looked so uncomfortable but immediately he brightened up when Tony teased him, so cute, Tony's awesome
-
Tony Robinson and Mike Rowe need to team up and do a historical vs modern day worst jobs ever show. I saw Mike Rowe go down with some modern day sewer workers. They basically had to clean the machinery that keeps a city sewer system functioning. It was absolutely horrible work! Some things have not evolved much at all. That would be a great show with their two zany personalities.

I might have missed my calling as a herring caller
-
Tony is a national treasure, don't even try to tell me he's not.
-
"A jolly good bang though you've got to admit" Saucy minx.
-
As someone with pet rats when he pulled the rat out of the hay stack and the rat was just like •-• it made my day because they really are just squishy and confused lmao
-
Many men in my family worked on the railroads during this era up until WW1. I glad this shines a spotlight on some of the work they did. Same with the farmers. I also have farmers in my family.
-
Geez, all that lethal, backbreaking work, I'd take being a herring caller any day!
-
I love how Tony is always enthusiastically happy after he's done whatever is being demonstrated.
-
that engineer laugh is so awsome and hearty .
-
Well, I guess we now know why Victorians were big on flowers! The every day stench of the city must have been incredible!
-
"I don't think ... we can imagine it Tony " *mournful reflection * " "explosion time"
-
Honestly is my first show host or whatever he is, he is the best! I love how he actually try’s all these things, and he’s just got a great personality.

As they described the Thames in Victorian times, with sewage, trash and dead animals, I suddenly thought of the Mighty River Ankh from Discworld, and began to wonder if the water back then was polluted enough to be flammable...
-
Suddenly, breaking down boxes in a supermarkets warehouse doesn't seem that bad... XD
-
That why rock brakeing was given to prisoners to do. 🤔 it seems the more I watch of these the more I hear sayings and curses we use now. Like "I've got a bone to pick with you."
-
I think they should have included Tony Robinson in the "farm vids" team of Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn, Alex Langlands. Or borrowed him for the Railway series.
