It’s the fact that LOADS of average people would often purchase tickets to basically either watch someone be tortured in hopes of saving their life or to watch human bodies be taken apart...purely for entertainment...which I find disturbing.

@@FC-hj9ub Well for one as they said he craved the lifestyle of the truly wealthy which he never accomplished to his satisfaction. But he was also not an educated individual and if he had went too far away his accent would’ve made him stick out & possibly made it harder for him to find employment due to being seen as an outsider or due to negative opinions of people from outside areas. While he did most likely earned/stole enough to have settled down in a modest house & land with a family without needing to work very much. It wouldn’t have been anywhere near enough for the lifestyle he longed for. Also...from the way he is described I think he was addicted to the adrenaline & adventure of first the speed of the carriages & then the risks & rewards of being a highwayman. Even his victims seemed to find him a romantic figure & Im sure more than one rich young lady managed to see him out of sight of her father or even husband. We also have to remember how short the average life span for a man truly was at that time. Disease, injury, SO many laws resulted in hanging and if you survived an injury or illness but were left disabled odds are you would end up slowly starving to death.😕 So it’s possible he decided to just get as much excitement, adventure & just plain enjoyment out of his life while knowing his actions would likely eventually cost him his life. Another factor may have been that being “old” in those days for any but the wealthy was most often horrible as well. (Then 60 = modern day 80-90) Which may very well have been another factor in his life choices. Because even though his jobs as a coachman & highwayman were hard & carried risks they weren’t anywhere NEAR as body destroying as most jobs of the time for a male of his education & station. I do wish they had said how old he was when he died. They said he was 18 when he became a coachman so I wonder how long he got to live his life of adventure & risk. To have been caught & trialed but managed to not be charged 17 times...one would think that would have to span over several years at least. I’d love to see a movie based on his life!

Just goes to show you that no matter the time, being poor has always been made into a crime. When he says that "she was arrested for trying to make a living as a poor woman in a rich man's world", it reminds me of the petty pot dealers and sex workers here in the US, getting years and years in prison, being branded as a criminal for life and being shit on by society. I've known many a people who grew up in section 8, had a full time job, 40 hr was the minimum(construction/waiting tables was the best paying) yet still had to do something on the side to make it, like selling weed or pulling tricks, if they were lucky(from a legal standpoint),it would just be stripping and maybe boxing/racing. Either way, just tying to survive when finishing high school and having a car that runs is the gold standard, was never easy. I wonder, if us "debt slaves" ever had time enough to do something about our plight, just how fast heads would roll from the ruling class? Rant over. EDIT: To be clear, I grew up in a 2 parent home, my parents were married and didn't have children until they were married. Neither went to college, because their parents couldn't or wouldn't help them, so dad was in the trades and mom worked at an interior design company, both full time. We were poor, not because they spent too much, we never had new cars, vacations, luxuries, etc because my parents paid cash and that was it. I got everything on my own, my car, my small cleaning business, trade school and even bought a small house at 25. Married and a 1st time mom as of 2 years ago. We get by on 1 income, which is about what both of my parents made, while I stay home. When I go back to full.time work in another 2 or 3 years, that will raise our income by about 60% and we will still live the way we do and save. We own our home, husband had a degree and I worked full time for 4 years while he went back, so he could work less. We have made many sacrifices, and even raised his exs son after she died. Was it easy?? HELL NO. IT CAN BE DONE WITH THE RIGHT ENCOURAGEMENT AND SACRAFICING ALL OF YOUR TEENS AND 20S. Most people are raised the same way the last 2 or 3 generations were, and assume they can never do better. With the way the school system is, that is no help whatsoever. College per year for in state university is about $40k/yr, which for the kids I grew up with, was at least a whole years pay for their household. No one gives loans to kids from where I grew up.

When I had group therapy at a public clinic, my sheltered middle-class upbringing was shocked to realize how many of the women in my group had "arrangements" with one or more men who would partially support them. This is how so many women end up with children by more than one man. The women were unemployable due to mental illness, and the men were not financially stable enough to marry and form families. There would be a whole network of family and others who did not have stable work lives, but who would collaborate in helping each other get by. It was all so dysfunctional and sad. But people do what they must to survive, including having children whether they can care for them or not. Many 50-year old grandmothers raising the 15-year old grand children who were now also pregnant. The grandmothers would be the strongest and most functional of the family, but suffering depression and anxiety at all the stress they were under. They needed more than mental health services, they needed something to change.

Nope. But before enclosures and even after, there were gardens in each village and district of a larger city where visitors are people of that town or city could grab something out of the garden, and if not ripe, they could ask for food from the storage. As far as hunting, no. That required a permit or rank of nobility. Among the reasons my ancestors on my dad's side moved to America. They liked the idea hunting and fishing didn't require special permits that could cost a fortune or simply not be available as fish and game in rivers, lakes, and land was reserved to the lord of the land... sometimes to the monarch only.

@mortega4719

I agree they went too far. Limiting makes sense though. Over hunting is a huge problem and people regularly ate things to extinction back then. They do today if you let them. Many people will "live off the land" rather than get a job if they are allowed to. The only problem is, the land can't necessarily support the people doing that and they eat everything in sight killing the entire deer population, etc. There were too many people in cities for the local population of rabbits, deer, etc to support. Everyone in these cities would have starved within a few years if people could kill wildlife as they liked, whenever they liked. The right move would have been to create permit like today. A certain number of hunting permits are created that are sustainable by the wildlife populations, and everyone else needs to plan ahead and buy from the grocery store. I believe in most American small towns the poor have a certain number of hunting permits put aside just for them if they want them. They do in the eastern states anyway.

Awww... I so wanted Tough Elizabeth to be the one in three. Dear old soul, should have lived another thirty years. Dying peacefully in her sleep in her own bed surrounded by her loving descendants.

This is my favorite series ever! I am so happy that Tony is well despite COVID. So happy as well that there is Season 2!!

Jake's meals would mostly have consisted of scraps from the great Table which was eating good to be fair for someone of Jack's status. Meat and Fish on the regular all the butter, cheese and bread you could eat. While No one blame you for having an apple stuffed in your coat at all times. If you throw in his room which might have only been a bed in the room above the Stables and a trunk to put his things in it was certainly better than living in the over cramped house with his family. So his actual value was probably closer to 25 quid a year.

I'm Astounded that Lord Palmerston was after Charles for poaching knowing he would hang for such a petty offense and knowing he would be leaving a family who desperately needed him to survive, behind. I would think a lord would feel some responsibility for the people who work his land and provide his income. To begrudge a man a few pheasants to feed his little ones when you know bringing poaching charges against him will cost him his life is astounding. What a disgusting example of humanity Lord Palmerston seems to have been. A veritable reptile.

Well, many of us had brave ancestors who showed up and did the hard thing so you can be free. Pay them back by being grateful. Help someone in need. Don't lose it over First world problems. That was all they knew of life. And shows like this often refuse to show the happy times. If there were no happy and hopeful times none of us would be here.

if i wanted to poach some game, i wouldn't get myself traps or a musket, i would have fiashioned myself a bow. much more silent and can get undetected because no traps are around.

it is way harder to get food with a bow. Most bow hunters of the past where not "lone wolves" as games and movies tend to depict, they had groups. It takes a awful lot of practice to hunt alone with a bow and be proficient. Maybe you have no time to practice because everyone in your house is literally starving, that's why they resorted to weapons

Not a bad idea...but extremely hard in reality, or so people say (I wouldn’t know). I suspect you would spend a lot of time in the woods with your bow and little to show for it. Plus don’t get caught with the bow either.

The steel trap shown here is nearly identical (absolutely identical?) with a modern steel trap and rather pricy I think. But there are several other methods for catching game that are nearly silent. For birds, a mist net would be quite effective. Set it across a flyway, drive some birds toward it, pull out the bird(s), take down the net and roll it up, conceal the catch and the net, and home you go.

If the land agents saw you with a bow on private land, they would kill you before you saw them. It would be easier to befriend the agent or agents on a property and then poach with them.

I'm a career tall ship sailor and it's very cool to learn about the history while doing the job.

I am enjoying every single one of these episodes with this guy n this chick that keep getting suggested to me about the old world and syphilis and stuff like that

Amazing documentary! I'd love to see more content about the Georgian/Regency era, it's such a fascinating time period. :)

The excellent engravings used here are just so perfect. The fine arts were really brought to perfection during those hard times.

My family had to immigrate to the land of plenty, New Zealand. Plenty of food, compulsory school, plunket, school nurses, and rubbish collections. Even though we had to share a bathroom and toilet and a bath cost 5 pennies which you had to put in the califont meter, and the wallpaper was black with gold flowers we kids thought we came to paradise

It was more like 1/3 of all women that were in "sex work." If you were a woman and had stakes or even owned a bar, it usually functioned as a brothel at night. Most "respectable" establishments functioned doubly like this.

Tony is such a wonderful storyteller! Love this show
