Horrible Histories Georgian Court Toilets

Horrible Histories Georgian Court Toilets

[@MyFriendlyGiant]

The courtiers at the Palace of Versailles used the corridors as one big toilet. I'm sure that place was always busy and there was no hope for 'private time'.

[@jackyjackymack1033]

0:47 "Sweet relief which cannot be measured" (she did it in a jug !) , excellent line !

[@horationelson2191]

There's the tune of "Rule, Britannia!" going on in the background, if anybody didn't notice.

Holy guacamole!!

[@CiaLaVirago]

They needed to ask WHO in order to WHAT? I love history

[@TheLadybughug]

It's true. Plus at this time, they carried a wee pot to go in, and in Versailles, they peed in corners or just about anywhere. Ick.

[@Me-fo1kk]

Well I also read somewhere that women went to church and they would have a wee without excusing themselves. How? A chamberpot was hanging from their corset which was suspended by ribbon between their legs. Me? I say excuse me ...excuse..sorry...LOOK I NEED A WIZZ OK?

@@Me-fo1kk That’s actually pretty convenient. 😂

[@lukassnakeman]

roman cities 4000 years ago: public indoor toilets with complex sewage systems that actually carried the shit away just a little bit england 400 years ago: piss in a jug and throw it out the window into the street

[@achanwahn]

4k yrs? I'm pretty sure they were around as a general people for maybe about 1k, and the empire was only for about 500 - 600 years. Early Egyptians were around almost 4k. That might be where you're getting confused, unless you're thinking of the Aegeans or Phoenicians. And before anyone argues, I took Latin and was a member of the JCL for four years of high school, focusing my early college studies in art history, world history and writing with emphasis on ancient cultures before I switched to early child development and education. So, before you argue based on a vague inclination, go look it up. I'm actually trying to help educate.

[@ridanann]

@@achanwahn as a celt whos cultural history is about 4k id agree Roman definitely came after us or we wouldn't of happened. we used to run Europe remember 😉 of course celts ant really into running this so we let the Romans have it tbf we didn't know what they were gona do.

[@ridanann]

the worlds oldest toilet is in Scotland pal really is Google it

[@mtlicq]

@@ridanann Romans didn't "rule" Teutonic civilization, and Roman rule of empire was kidnapping and enslaving and murdering of peoples beyond the latin-speaking regions

looks like bathrooms at a medieval fair though we luckily can just use them and don't need to ask XD

[@matthewpattison8611]

That's one way of putting it 😂

[@mangot589]

Except for the few too drunk people, at the faires, they would have put our port a potties, on a prayer list in every chapel, by every priest, nun, and paid prayer givers, and personally thanked the lord every day for them. Just sayin’.😉

[@littleriri]

or a medieval festival lol

[@AifosViruset]

The dresses. They were not designed in a way that made it easy to go to the toilet while wearing them, and they took an awful time to take of. Going in a "jug" was a lot simpler. Though I doubt they did it in public.... I think that's just for comedic purposes.

[@DetectiveNyx]

there were a lot of layers, but they actually didn't wear any underpants under their skirts and you could just lift up your skirt, stick the pot between your legs, and piss

[@soundwavegamer2321]

Oh sweet summer child you keep thinking that.

[@paigeeden4496]

That isn't acting. I'm pretty sure, based on the VERY realistic body movements that they ACTUALLY need to go. Or maybe they're just GREAT actors!!

[@naly202]

They are all fabulous actors, you can be sure of that.

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

… It’s horrible histories. I don’t think they were ‘method acting’ or whatever it is you’re alluding to.

[@honeybrained]

What was it like wearing that dress??

[@AdelaideBeemanWhite]

Did you get to use the toilet?

[@elizajones8526]

@@honeybrained I've definitely worn more uncomfortable outfits on set lol

[@BexMatthies]

No historical movies/tv-series could possibly afford making original costumes to all the main characters, extras etc., so yes they borrow or rent costumes. If Martha's dress is from Doctor Who, then it has also made an appearance in Marie Antoinette from 2006.

[@Miss65boo]

The lady behind Georgina in line should have been looking at the floor, rather then watching Georgina walk away. Squish!

[@fadikhoory5350]

Maybe under thick materials of wide dresses and layers of stocking, it had absorbed it.

[@EditorOfSL]

0:31 - That was me this morning on my bus!

[@1namster]

The woman behind Georgina didn't look urgent for a wee.

[@elizajones86]

I'm in this sketch! What episode and series is this? Trying to find another sketch I was in in same episode!!

[@lydiajulianprower8356]

Series 4 Episode 1.

[@j.j.w.6431]

Now that I didn't know - thanks for the toilet info. I am glad this video is only about a minute, off to the loo I must go now...

[@Zolega89]

Oh thank god for private bathrooms!

[@lezlorenesambajon1350]

I love Georgina's dress.

[@Adastra14]

Piscittina said "ok" twice. While I giggled :)

[@Me-fo1kk]

I don't know but if I need a to go.when I was on the country , go behind a tree or squat in a trench. Anyone look ? No because in the country that's how it's done

[@SpongebobEpisodesful]

While Iam watching this I really need to go to the bathroom to haha :D

[@mastersadvocate]

Egad! Ick! Gadzooks! and all that other Elizabethan exclamation that I just can't think of at the moment. This video was very very funny!

[@Agent1W]

I can't believe they "go" right in front of the Queen. Does the Queen not have any sense of decency?

[@EditorOfSL]

They probably didn’t really. This is just a sketch after all.

[@countryguy374]

I bet having to give permission gave the queen a real thrill. I think a lot of women get a power trip out of being in charge of bathroom breaks - whether at work, school, etc.

[@5th_cellar]

very likely she wasn't wearing anything that needed pulling down

[@Cjnw]

Nobody actually searched for this

[@Amadeus-ms9lt]

Taking the piss!

[@ahlam33]

Nobility wanted to stay in the favor in the rulers bonus + the rulers wanted to keep the nobility in check, so they had to do things like this often.

[@VulcanTrekkie45]

Thanks to a post on Instagram, now I know the woman behind Sarah in line is none other than Izabela from Priorattire!

[@andreal5445]

WhY?? No one would ever know if you just peed in secret.

[@ahlam33]

Lol. Yeah, watch Supersizers Go French Revolution. The French royal family had to leave Versailles not only for vacation. The servants had to scrub that place down because people just relieved themselves where ever.

[@susanl.armstrong5000]

They also relieved themselves in the large potted plants indoors and out only the King and Queen had private facilities.

[@SpongebobEpisodesful]

What Season and Episode is this i wanna know

[@MissStressBex]

Is it just me thinking that if that was the case, the queen was kinda kinky..? ^_~

0:15 the dress Martha is wearing here looks like the one Madame de Pompadour wore in the Doctor Who episode "The girl in the fireplace"..

[@greenivy713]

Yeah, you're right, it looks just like it! o.o

[@oswinaltava]

tbh since they're both made by the BBC it could be the same dress

[@AdelaideBeemanWhite]

Is the lady behind Georgina Izabella Pitcher of Priorattire?

[@sheep1ewe]

It certanly looks like Izabel, she even hawe photos on her wedsite when she's wearing that dress and the same hairstyle.

[@Shaestel]

It is the same dress, I think. Most tv/film companies share period costuming, since it's expensive to make.

[@kirschrot77]

The jugs are called Bourdaloue
