@@alexanderlittle9786 Could also be that many of those cats and dogs grew up together. That often makes a big difference in how they get along. One reason is that the cats will often take a healthy swipe, claws and all, across a puppy's nose that they never forget, giving the cats respect in adulthood. Also, cats tend to have a huge "mothering instinct" towards any baby animals (such as squirrels and even mice) and will even nurse them, as well as, generally caring for them. Many of the dogs may have developed a strong bond with certain cats as they matured that carried over to cats in general.

The oldest recorded use of the word "knacker" dates to 1812, meaning "one who slaughters old or sick horses" and in 1855 "to kill, castrate", and is believed to be the same word as the earlier knacker/nacker "harness-maker" from the 1570s, surviving in 18th century dialects.[3] The sense extension is perhaps because "knackers" provided farmers with general help in horse matters, including the disposal of dead horses. The word is of uncertain origin, perhaps from the Scandinavian word represented by Old Norse hnakkur saddle and related to hnakki "back of the neck", possibly relating to neck.[3]

Dang, literally one bad turn and the pride of the fleet just tips over. That has got to be humiliating for everyone involved, not to even begin to mention the hundreds that died due to mere bad driving.

I didn't like how they showed the old dying horse and made a joke about it. That was unnecessary.

In 2019 I got to visit the Mary Rose. It is a fabulous museum, & really requires a long time to see, & take in. I recommend it to everyone! 👍🏻🥂

When I was at high school we knew a family that did this. They mainly collected dead cows/calves. And would skin them and sell the skins. And probably sold the carcass to a pet food manufacturers. They had several kids and the whole family helped out. This was in the early 2000's. They had a dedicated barn though haha didn't do it in the house 😂.

Life is still hard like that for much of the world.

On the topic of execution and of the executioner in South Africa capitol punishment was a thing up until the mid 60s and the guy doing it was called a “laksman” and one of these ex-executioners plays golf with my dad

This was the best told history ever. Wished our teachers were like that, then I would not of zoned out into another dimension from boredom so much. Very humorous and really interesting. Sad though about the puppy. Did anyone eles hear right at the end when Tony went into the house. A faint voice saying phew. Obviously he told how the pig stayed indoors. HA HA, can just imagine going out and going back into the house.

Me on lunchbreak: Let's watch some history documentary hosted by the great Tony Robinson while having lunch! Me throughout the documentary: *slowly pushes lunch away*

Pigs are very easy to housebreak (they are a lot smarter than dogs!), because they are really very clean creatures. So shame on you Tony! (All that mud is just anti-parasites and sunscreen, do not let that fool you.). Love those episodes btw.

Tony Robinson is a truly engaging host and narrator. I think this must've been his calling.

Love this episode! So intriguing! Grateful that English history can be shared with us here in the states, where we're stuck at home, and not able to see it in person.

Dear AH, thank you for such a wonderful program. At school, there weren't many subjects I found particularly interesting except for one... and that was history Made alive, stimulating, and vibrant by a teacher who instilled in us/me a deep empathy for historical figures and a need to understand the historical dynamics of human behavior and interaction.

I watch lots of historical documentaries this is sooo great BTW God bless you!

Argh! At 16:53 He mentions that the average life expectancy was 35. Implying that people had short hard lives. But that is not what average life span means. It does not mean the average person dropped dead at 35. The average is so low because of high infant mortality. It was not uncommon for a woman to have 5 children and only 2 or 1 survive to adulthood. Once they were past the age of five, most people lived about as long as they do today.

Clarification: in American English the use of "Pants" is derived directly from the Italian word "Pantalone" a type of leg shaped garment, while the British seem to derive it from the character "Pantaloon" an old comedic italian male character who'd wear women's underwear.

I really enjoy ur delivery sir... much more entertaining and with a smidgen of humor...thank you sir...

I so appreciate Mr Robinson's way of relating to the human part of the stories he tells.

Awww poor Hatch... I'm crying.

The nobles getting decapitated rather than hanged would have been a privilege. While a proper decapitation meant instant death, a proper hanging in those days meant choking for several minutes before finally losing consciousness and eventually dying. So the Mary Rose went into battle and was sunk not by the enemy fleet but by an error in her own maneuvering? Interesting.

Well, as to losing your head back then goes, having it lobbed off usually took numerous blows. The real privileged ones had special axmen hired, as Henry did for one of his exes. The really good ones only took a single whack. Mary Queen of Scots was far less fortunate when Henry's daughter had her put to death. Chop, chop, chop
