Seriously, who doesn't love Tony Robinson? And who here doesn't love a nice bit of history?
So then good sirs and madams, feast your thirsty eyes on The Worst Jobs In History, a delightful historical series exploring the worst jobs that history has to offer.

I thought it was great, I love programs like this that make history fun and interesting. razz
I know it's not really steamy as such, but it's fun and interesting and helps remind us all it was a bit of a rough time back in the day.

There's actually a slightly better episode of the above to do with urbanisation (which really kicked off in the 19th century). Turns out the poor of society could make a decent living sweeping the horse poo off the road to let people cross. :p

There should be a series one day "What Adam Hart-Davies did for us." biggrin
