The Worst Jobs in History is a British television series hosted by Tony Robinson on Channel 4.
The second series was shown in March 2006 on History Television in Canada, then in April 2006 on Channel 4 in the UK.
Tony Robinson tries his hand at each of the jobs, ultimately nominating which one he thought was the worst in each programme.
This was broadcast in 2004 and concentrated on a different historical period per programme: Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Medieval, Tudor, Stuarts, Georgian, and Victorian.
Some of the more repulsive or dangerous jobs included fuller, executioner, leech collector, plague burier, rat-catcher, leather tanner, gong farmer, and sin-eater.
