A scullery maid usually was as young as 11 or 12 years old. She would have been slapped and struck about because of being so young until she fell in line. She was also trying to fight of male servants and probably assaulted by male staff several times. If she got pregnant, yikes she would end up in the streets or worse, dead from trying to rid herself of the baby or starvation. A lot of servants could be lazy or not follow the rules. They got fired all the time.

I have lovely photos of mine and two of the other ladies hair - we are all re-enactors). However, we were asked to be silent, and Kirsty was blindfolded as she was walked past. When she and any of the other celebs were having their makeup/dress/hair done they were blindfolded at all times and remained so till they were positioned in the first scene to be filmed. I will say us ladies were not "obnoxious" - we were expected to do the silly things because the film peeps wanted a specific angle. However, Fern dropping the cakes was not planned AT ALL.

While I think that at times Zoe could have rolled with it a bit better, she said later in the series that she was not much on domestic tasks and wanted to be outside doing what the guys were doing. Unfortunately women didn’t do as many of the tasks that required strength and being outdoors at that time. Zoe’s talents simply would not have been valued in a woman living at that time. Besides, being a scullery maid was a really thankless job. I can understand her frustration.

13:46, senior servants were served their food, like those were, the servants serving just ate scraps, but you might get promoted up to senior servant in time.

This show needs more view ❤ I think they need to change the thumbnail. I didn't know what kind of video is it before I opened it. Because the thumbnail looks the same as other videos that just explaint about history, not experience it.

When the jelly broke I just couldn't - so funny literally crying here :D

I miss these little history shows

I've been a subscriber to the channel, but barely watched. Until a recent rainy day, I'm addicted.

I'm curious how they all acted behind the scenes when the cameras are off. Like the lady was bitchy here, but I'd like to know how she is irl.

We are lovely people and re-enactors in real life (as well as "normal" work). Some of what was done was deliberate for the filming and unlikely to have occurred in real life. We ladies did grumble a bit about silly things like ringing for a servant to pick up a handkerchief a few cm to ones side!!

Zoe said she ate meat but couldnt pluck the bird....very hypocritical. Like the super rich she expects the meat to be cleaned and prepared. They really need things like this for inner-city kids so they know where their food comes from.

In the time period a hallboy would have been the youngest member of the male staff. It was an entry-level job the way scullery maid was for females.

Zoe was incredibly frustrating to watch. She’s lucky those people in the past made such sacrifices for her life today. But Greg on the other hand was an inspiration! Overall, this was a humbling watch. I’m not only thankful for the time I live in, but I’m determined to work hard like Greg, and not give up with a whimper like Zoe.

Mrs. McMullen makes the return! YES!

Ummmm... What kind of show did Zoe think she was going on??? 😂

I get Zoe was being immature straight away but I understand why she was reluctant to work with dead animals too, but then she shouldn’t have done the show because in the past there was a lot of death and animals

Did i see kirstey alley? She’s from my hometown and a couple years older than me.

I have a lot of weird food stuff. I couldn’t imagine having meals made such a big deal of and having people standing around watching you, hovering, and waiting to chew your food for you. I’d insist on taking every meal in my room.

It's a social thing. The servants would have been like your table, just part of the furniture from infancy on, you wouldn't know any better. Besides that, eating with one's guests or as a guest allows a show of table etiquette, helps in maintaining social status, and is just good manners, it would be social suicide to eat alone in that setting.

Love this program it’s educational and very refreshing from our norm these days!

They were basically wage slaves. I am so glad we have the workplace rights we do today. The individuals who protested these conditions suffered tremendously just because they wanted to be treated with basic human dignity and I think they need to be honor for their sacrifices. I am not blind to the fact that the idea of "knowing your place" was normal during these times so it makes those who stood up even more amazing because they broke free from the social conditioning or brainwashing of the society they were born into.

turning to the walls... this is strict

This explains a lot. I never knew how servants were treated, I thought there was the occasional abuse and they were expected to conduct themselves well but nothing to this extent. Seeing how nobles every whim was always tended to with as a little as a word and sometimes not even that much, how the people who tended to their whims weren't given a single thought. It's no wonder they bred such attitudes. It's not that they're particularly cruel or evil, it's just what we would consider a kindness is a basic need to them.

My grandmother was a scullery maid before the start of the first world war, when she was about 10. She was beaten, hassled, worked 15, 18 hours every day, and no one thought anything about it. There were a dozen hopefuls for every single job opening and the girls were pretty much just used and thrown away the moment they stepped out of line even once. From what she told me, it was a very hard time for her.

​@@amberkat8147 The reason why Britain never had a “second” full-scale Revolution, like France did in the late 18th century, was because: - The British Government, unlike the French Government of the 1780s, *never went bankrupt* and continued to become the richest in the world. Obviously economic hardship and Revolutions go hand-in-hand, but especially so in 18th century France where Nobility paid next to nothing in taxes and were effectively supported by French peasants (in comparison the British Aristocracy and upper-middle classes were heavily taxed). - The British Monarchy was/ is *constitutional* (thanks to the “Glorious Revolution” of 1688), meaning the King/ Queen did not possess “absolute” power (like King Louis XVI) but instead worked “alongside” the country’s constitutional government. Alternatively anyone who disagreed with the French King could be executed on the spot - no questions asked... basically showing an extreme unbalance of power (in Britain that was not the case). - The British Government and Monarch received a *huge amount of support* from the nation’s elite, King Louis XVI experienced the exact opposite and in fact many aristocratic families turned against him. This showed that the French King was no longer respected; severely weakening his authority over France. If you’re talking about ‘1913’ Britain specifically: - Again the country/ Empire was extremely rich, - The King had no real power and was simply symbolic (much less power than King George III for example), - People supported constitutional monarchy and the aristocracy, - Europe was a completely different world pre/ post war (therefore the majority of Europeans were used to the idea of service, strict hierarchy and lack of respect to those of the lower classes). Plus you know that it was a very similar story with the wealthy families of the US - how do you think their staff were treated?
