Poor Miquita. Even though she knew this was an experiment in experiencing Victorian living, she still threw her emotions with sorrow and guilt for having let her colleagues down as if this was the actually the difference between eating and starving. She truly felt the effects of having been one of the women of those times. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone didn't pitch in to make sure she ate that night anyway. I know I would have bought her some food because I couldn't bear to see anyone go hungry. Ann is none of the above and I believe she would have already been in the workhouse at this point.

For the first time in her life, Ann Widdecombe supports the rights of workers and it's only because she feels sorry for herself and has the luxury of going back to her posh life shortly after. I have total respect for the other participants though.

I find it so hard to believe that Ann would think that the bosses would be at a loss without their labor force. There's hundreds, THOUSANDS of people that are desperate to work, and the boss man can find someone willing to work and not care about their worker's rights in a second.

While it's obvious this is scripted reality TV, you're missing the point: People actually did engage in those behaviors during that era. There were plenty of people like Ann who knew their employment could be individually terminated or dismissed entirely in smaller groups if they organized a strike that wasn't successful. Instead of judging those who stood up for their rights and influence others , appreciate the fact that people were brave enough to actually do so.....with nothing to lose in that process.

exactly also his logic isnt unreasonable if its substandard quality how can he sell it which in turn gives them a salary.. the whole riot act was pointless because your supposed to produce high quality so you can be paid sure its high pressure but thats what the boss needs is high standards to sell a product. Its like todays Quality Control, we use machines to do it now to find defects in a production line in this era it was caused by human error. So hence why he is stern about it. Honestly i just felt like they did this on purpose knowing the old lady would get riled up and cause a political movements for the ratings lol The boss can also find more workers back in those times there would be hundreds of people pouring in to find work so even if he fired these people it isnt considered a LOSS.. this happens to major companies all the time they cycle through employees all the time its common.. The old lady basically made her entire team homeless... lol

Is Anne really complaining about the sexism of assuming women can paint? First of all, you're coloring basically, not even designing the pattern, and second, I think that would be the least of your worries when it comes to sexism back then.

At 31:18. I think Alistair got emotional because he genuinely liked getting his cups right in the first half of the day. He was getting the hang of it, he was being precise, he was coming to really enjoy the work of producing beautiful cups. So he understood very quickly the craftsmanship and skill required to make such cups. Then when he sees thousands of cups stacked up like that in these vessels, it overwhelmed him. That is blood, sweat and tears of real craft in that kiln. And that just really bowled him over. I don't think he would've had the same reaction if he hadn't done that work earlier in the day.

Playing devil's advocate, I think she was the best (or least bad) woman worker in the first episode. Hill woman was cheating and breaking carts, the other one was puking when stirring poo. Ann was keeping morale and doing the tasks fine. But I guess she broke down the quickest, 24h and she stopped collaborating.

I am rewatching the show because I love the show so much and I feel so bad for Miquita. I cried. She cried because she was the reason they weren't paid. Colin is very talented. He is open to anything so is Alistair. Alistair crying over the loss of hand-made pots was everything. I was sobbing. Tyger has really grown in the four episodes. Zoey is so kind. She didn't get mad at Ann, I would have. If Ann was in the first part of the work, she might've even shouted at Miquita. Ann and her so-called morals. She laughed when she messed up. Why did she even volunteer?

The reality was that there were plenty of workers desperate for a job. If you complained then you were out and new people were in. This is the story still going on in poorer countries. Protesting only works if you're irreplaceable.

Unfortunately, "union-busting" by conservatives has worked and those days are gone. Now, it's back to a single worker having to try to deal with a major corporation alone which means they have ZERO power and just have to do what they're told.

@@ivorytower99 On Anne personally- Anne is playing a character, the same as she used to play being an MP as an character, on your tv. She is fully well aware that it isn't real & in fact, provides a service as "breaking the fourth" to the audience in this to show the disparaging time frames of then, and now. IT IS A TV SHOW. Everyone knows it. Including you. It is intended to keep it from being a documentary & to be a real world, physical learning experience to all, as well as you. On Anne "the rebel worker"- She would have been like many a real world worker. Some who refused to participate in the burgeoning corporate class at that time. Anne is actually playing the part of a "worker's revolutionary" quite well, though I will state I am not as well-versed in British history for that time frame as others are. Anne possibly would have made a successful revolutionary...there were a handful that didn't get beaten, gaol'd or force-transported to the Van Diemen Company prisoner colonies (Australia), and because of it...a standardized work week & fair(er) pay appears, along with a decrease in landlord's engaging in fraudulent practices. In the end, Anne is doing exactly what specific leaders of those movements did...they wanted their cut of massive, global corporation profits (East India Company coming to mind). To be fair- Some "leaders" were merely political opportunists, looking for a quick fame & fortune. They generally got dead first. A few went on to lead British politics. The mega-corporations of that time didn't want to give out their serious profits. At this same time frame in America...in New York, you had the successful Anti-Renters' War against landlords...and Dorr's Rebellion in Rhode Island (initially a failure, later on a success). These were led by common people. Just...regular workers. Nothing more. They took over court houses, shut down factories and in fact, shut down cities. I understand your view on the subject. You might find Anne, as an ex-MP, is playing her exact part as she should.

I've done spinning wheel demonstrations for years. A couple of years in, I tried on a pair of boots in a store and discovered one calf was over 7cm wider than the other. The irony is that it took me another couple of years to work out why 🤣🤣🤣

I'm thinking with painting the dishes---plates, for instance----they should try an "assembly-line" process. Each woman takes one color, paints that on a plate, hands it to the next woman who then paints only HER color wherever it's supposed to be on the plate. Seems like it would be a much faster process because they'd quickly learn to paint only their sections and only have to deal with one color of paint each..... Of course, if some women are really slow, you could paint all afternoon---many plates---but yet have no plates fully painted at the end of the day. And, btw, I don't want to be mean, but that older woman really needs to stop all the complaining and whining. What a HUGE difference to have to work beside someone like that every day versus one of the others who don't complain and even have a sense of humor about it.
