The Worst Jobs In History with Tony Robinson S02E01 Urban

[@grant24678]

I hope Tony keeps making documentaries, I learn so much from him, I don't with others, he is most likely the best documentarian

[@LoveShaysloco]

yeah I just found this show and it reminds me of dirty jobs witch is also very interesting

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

emtbrat21 yes, 'struth, but the American show "Dirty Jobs" was much more intentionally nasty/graphic/gag-inducing, and the host Mike Rowe seemed to revel in the muck a bit more... Although, you CAN see our Baldrick bathing in a tub of bovine blood and guts if you watch his series "Gods and Monsters"... It's well gnarly, yeah?

[@amberbranks4209]

I love this guy's smart yet relaxed style! You may like Terry Jones! I really like most his stuff kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4Caio2oZrppoLc

[@martnal]

I flinch just watching Tony doing these jobs. He deserves every penny or pound he's paid.

[@tomorowsnobodys]

Thank you for uploading this

[@zacksbeyondourplate6784]

Mad respect for Tony carrying that water barrel!

[@jojo1234a]

Tony is a top man, what a dude!

[@paul6925]

Damn that asphalt pounding is giving me flashbacks. I've had to do that before on highway survey work. But only because our tamping machine broke and we didnt have time to get it fixed.. It was only for a day on small boreholes. I cant imagine doing it day in and day out to build an entire road.

[@neeters5]

We must be lost twins-these shows are all I watch! Thanks again for these fantastic uploads!!

[@vincewhite5087]

The water carriers would have been much stronger & tougher then Tony. But it is good to experience earlier people's hardships to appreciate how good we have it now.

[@juliamason6101]

The segment on the grain Toni was talking about the grain and how they moved it with a hose. The person said if you didn't pay attention, you could be sucked under the grain like and undertow had got you. My husband's uncle was driving a bulldozer in a rock chamber of the phosphate plant he worked in when someone opened a valve to release some rock , they did not let my hubby's uncle know. He was caught in the falling rock and was crushed to death by the rock coming in on top of the bulldozer.

[@crazyviking24]

I laughed when she pulled up in the car next to him. And then he got fined for cussing. I probably would have had to declare bankruptcy just for cussing the first day.

[@mariawhite7337]

You're kidding that you can get fined for swearing in public right? h wait, this is the UK we're talking about, of course they'd fine you for that. They fine you for not having a tv licence. Figures they'd make one to swear in public.

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

@@mariawhite7337 The UK and in fact most of Europe is much freer than the US when it comes to these law. Its about 30 place higher on the Freedom Index than the US.

[@mariawhite7337]

@@Ukraineaissance2014 tell that to me again after I get a concealed carry permit and can swear in public. Edit: you have to ask yourself who is making the 'freedom index' and ask if they are biased. Cause last time I checked it places like Cuba was very high on that list.

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

@@mariawhite7337 1.We can swear in public dumb fuck, its a program about history and historical laws..... 2.Cuba isnt listed on the index, so you just made that up... Come back to me when you can cross the road without being arrested, drink at 18, not go bankrupt from visiting the hospital, be conscripted into the army or be murdered by the state and dont have the largest prison population in the world

[@sophiee.h]

i love sir tony robinson

[@eileen1820]

Thanks so much for the Tony Robinson shows. Always entertaining!

[@maggiee639]

Seriously though , thank god for running water.

[@simonbroberg969]

Done the asphalt laying too, only for a few weeks, at least I had decent boots, and we only had to use the tamping rod at the edges and corners where the road roller couldn't reach. I didn't get a lot of pay for doing that job either.

[@erinobrien8408]

Great upload!! I've actually done pugging in Uganda, when we were building a school. 🧱

[@vincewhite5087]

What people forget that in early times, money went much further before the debt system ran crazy, in 20th century & inflation has devalued the money.

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

What ever you are paid it ain't enough and if you are not paid your a hell of a man. Great video thanks.

[@megganking2595]

Tony, you've got bigger coconuts than me my friend. I wouldn't have gotten back on that ladder for all the money in the world.

[@brettknoss486]

When my dad was in vocational college in the late '70s he had to review a study that found 50% of non smoking elevator agents, and 100% of smoking agents had emphasima.

[@maryanneslater9675]

My grandfather and father were registered seed growers, which meant they needed to do seed cleaning part of the year. Grain dust is truly nasty.

[@chrispza]

Could you imagine the producers going to underwriters, trying to find someone who would be willing to issue insurance on Tony and the crew?

[@jamiebizness1]

Lol yes tony that woman was tough you had no chance . That was gold I loved seeing that .good look tony

[@justaguitardude]

much respect to tony. his biggest fear has to be heights. he can work in shit/urine and he wont show fear like he does when he has to go above the side walk level. way to go dude. you rock sir.

[@jaxxdevelin4774]

He is amazing hes giving the tower full effort despite the fact hes petrifed

[@afrog2666]

I think his biggest fear is that lady in the boxing ring xD

[@Nipplator99999999999]

Jan Christian Frodahl I have hand to hand training and wouldn't want to step in the ring with her.

[@Lyndam98]

Amazing shows--thanks so much!

[@tnecklover]

Everyone call in who doesn't find the scene of him fighting that woman hilarious!

[@lizzy66125]

respect👍I couldn t carry that water and Tony is not in his thirties any more

[@maeve4686]

In southern California, Escondido area, there was an enormous open field adjacent the river bed, where forms were laid out on ground, & adobe clay bricks were made. Same thing. So Cal sun dried it. Idk if it was fired, but you'd see 100 people of all ages, working there .

[@sivanlevi3867]

Thought I heard Eye of the Tiger music during Peter's introduction with a pitch change.

[@yank1776]

Hope they had EMTs standing by, poor Tony.

[@rogerneon]

Some of the jobs around the docks in the East End of London are described by author Jennifer Worth, who worked as a midwife there in the late 1950's. This film doesn't even go into the squalid, crowded conditions the dock workers and their families lived in.

[@crazyviking24]

+rogerneon I am guessing he went into those conditions in his episode on the maritime jobs.

[@donnadees1971]

Soooo interesting. The children used in chimney cleaning. Omg.

[@TheExvangelicalCat]

They fined people for swearing. Shit, I would owe so much money.

[@kartafla]

Thank you for this upload (uploads). :)

[@mikkelnpetersen]

Think your job is bad? watch this series

[@michellegardiner162]

It's hard to imagine how regular people lived in these times. They had it so hard, real work. In pain, exaused. They worked for everything they got. It makes u really think. How people now complain about drive thru, first world problems. Social media, clothes styles. These days everyone complains and has something to say. I'd like to put them people in these types of situations. See how they fair. Coming back to the 21 centery, they'd learn to b more humble and appreciate what they have. It could always b worse

[@donnadees1971]

I don’t know how culture has survived through all these dirty jobs….

[@neuemage]

17:48 thats one mad lad rapper hat

[@jonathanshort3724]

Water caddy didn't seem that bad, if you were fit enough.

[@maggiee639]

I dont know, manual labor sucks wether you are strong or not.

[@robertpearson8798]

Safety rope or not, I’d be pretty much paralyzed before getting very high.

[@richbones8419]

46:02 I laughed sooo hard (^_^)

[@IronMan-qi3yg]

04:08 what muscles m8?

[@brettknoss486]

Did dockers have to deal with grain that was heated, spoiled, or partially germinated?

[@maryanneslater9675]

Probably.

[@fpreston9527]

These programs are all about london . There are other places in the uk in case you hadn't noticed

[@maffysdad]

Yet the first one is set in Scotland... Hmmm... 400 miles give or take...

[@ryanessex7978]

Know all know nothing, Get your facts right.

[@soslothful]

How did one work the hook ladder back down to the ground? At 13:50 what is the prominent sort of conical shaped building? It appears in a lot of London filmed videos.

[@BackFromTheMadeUp]

soslothful I guess you just climb down to the next floor, unhook and lower the ladder.

[@maryanneslater9675]

It's called The Gherkin because it's sort of pickle-shaped, but it's officially called 30 St Mary Axe. (London street names, eh?) It replaced the old Baltic Exchange that was damaged by an IRA bombing 20 years ago. The developers were going to built it twice as high (it's nearly 600 feet), but then realized it was on a Heathrow flight path. Anyway, it's a commercial building with offices for lots of corporations with money. And there's a restaurant at the top, of course.

[@jakelance6]

What the hell is ashfelt? Does he mean asphalt? Lol

[@lizzy66125]

thats what its called in Britain

[@WendyDarling1974]

Sobering stuff.

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

Lol, "asphalt"... It sounds weird every time they say it, but I guess the English pronunciation of it as "ash-felt" is no sillier or stranger than our American "ass-fault"... Neither one fits the spelling.

[@ryanessex7978]

We don't pronounce it like that..........

[@afrog2666]

Some of you do lol.. And adding "r" to words with no "r" at the end..

[@iananderson3799]

Presenting this programme must be one of the worst jobs on Modern TV.

[@amberbranks4209]

A shilling for swearing!

[@wampuscat1831]

iM IMPRESSED, LIKLY IT WOULD BEEN A STRONG MAN MOST USE TO LOADS AS SUCH . I WOULD NOT TRY WHAT I DID 40 YEARS AGO..

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

I feel something akin to "schadenfreude" when I see an Englishman breaking his back at the behest of a Scottish woman 😉!

[@themilitantatheist9243]

Dicks out for the fighting woman! ;)

[@maeve4686]

Tony, at least your horse poo was dried...😮

[@bazookajoe8904]

I really like this show even though tony can be a poof at times

[@IronMan-qi3yg]

Tony is such a bloody pansie

[@franmike152]

pansies forever!

[@TadTheTinker]

You do these jobs.

[@kayleeriley3591]

I think he even thinks that about himself sometimes yeah he still willing to try which always an actor I guess LOL once a performer always a performer❤
