First aired in 2004, “The Worst Jobs in History” is a British production hosted by Tony Robinson.

The first series featured jobs that were grouped according to different historical period, namely the Roman era, the Anglo-Saxon period, the Medieval ages, the reign of the Tudors, followed by the Stuarts, Gregorians and then finally, the era of Queen Victoria.

It featured the worst jobs in those ages, in the sense that these jobs are dangerous and repulsive, such as working as a chimney sweeper, a rat-catcher, a leather tanner, a plague burier or an executioner.

In the second series, the show featured worst jobs classified as Royal, Industrial, Maritime, Urban or Rural.

It ran for two series in the United Kingdom and Canada.
