How Did Someone Become A Medieval Knight? | Time Crashers | Chronicle

The Time Crashers have gone back to 1468, one of the few years England was not troubled by the Wars of the Roses. They are split into two unisex teams of squires, the Reds, and the Blacks, competing with each other to prepare their knights for a jousting tournament. The fastest team to accommodate the winning knight is rewarded with a feast whilst the losers must polish yet more armor.

Most programs involving Sir Tony are entertaining.

The horse seems disappointed having to hear the two bicker over cleaning him XD

[@marybethholden8273]

Just discovered and fell in love with this series! Kirstie is awesome! She's definitely given some LOL moments 😆

[@civilengineer3349]

I love this channel! Always brings the best content!

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

Kirsten Alley playing along? Great! She must have enjoyed this 🤗

[@katyc.8663]

Hmmm, would they ever consider flipping the scrip and having the same groups do what were traditionally women's roles in the same year? I'm curious about the men (women for the role) doing things like sewing and household management.

Kirstie Alley!!! LOVE HER 🛡⚔️🛡 Yayyy!!! So cool she’s in multiple episodes of this series! Great choice, you guys! ⚔️🛡⚔️ (Misleading title but great episode)

[@Andy_Babb]

Lol Kirstie Alley is straight up desperate

[@Rye_Toast]

No argument there, but I have to admit she came through on the challenge.

[@darbllirdod5723]

Had been kinda cancelled for speaking her mind. Kinda like Tim Allen did.

[@NuklearnaVjeverica]

Interesting show, but the title is wrong

[@batzzz2044]

Make it period appropriate, no mud sharks.

[@au4h]

How to become a knight? Just be yourself.

[@davefellhoelter1343]

Love all these shows! BUT this chick I have watched all my life as a mature adult now, and the things I see and hear from her? WOW I am a FAN who IS but was Not! Grace, humble, fun. My Family came from Kansas TOO! Good Times!

[@MrFantocan]

Squires report: Red Team one step closer to knighthood. Black Tem one step closer to horse dung cleaninghood. 😄😆😂🤣🐴🐎💩🗡😵

[@dr.barrycohn5461]

A disappointment. I thought from the title it would have been a review of knighthood in history.

[@DwarffHunter]

This is the reason I stopped watching history channel like a decade ago. I want history not silly games or reality television.

[@dr.barrycohn5461]

@@DwarffHunter Exactly, seems like some producer is trying to make it "fun" rather than too classroom. I'll take classroom any day.

[@IIrandhandleII]

A disappointment indeed!!

[@richardlepreux8489]

Although it's not what you expected, I would encourage you to give the series a chance. There actually are some pretty goods insights. RIP Kirstie Alley

[@IIrandhandleII]

@@richardlepreux8489 it has a very cheap and lifeless feel to it. I prefer the traditional format of narrative and cut scenes

[@PalaceofPlacentia]

i think Keith would of been lashed at the post and there wouldn't of been vegan's and they certainly wouldn't accommodated it. if your going to do a recreation lets stick to facts

[@leszekwolkowski9856]

Def. over rated, at least nowadays. You simply enroll in night school and get your diploma in whatever. Pay to play I guess.

_"Our use of the phrase "The Dark Ages" to cover the period from 600 to 1000 marks our undue concentration on Western Europe .... From India to Spain, the brilliant civilization of Islam flourished. What was lost to Christendom at this time was not lost to civilization, but quite the contrary .... To us it seems that West-European civilization is civilization, but this is a narrow view."_ - Bertrand Russell

[@IIrandhandleII]

Not digging this doc style.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

It's a fun idea for a show but you could leave the gross parts out. No need to pluck a chicken 🤮

[@libbys.1708]

🙄

[@darbllirdod5723]

I dont like feathers OR hairy chicken, never met somone who does, either...

[@cyndlehick9777]

You can SKIP over it. God first world problems.
