| | Rambles: Tony Robinson, The Worst Jobs in History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | As Baldrick in the Black Adder series, Tony Robinson had some pretty nasty jobs to do for his surly employer, so it is hardly surprising that, having moved on to Time Team, he then took an interest in the worst possible jobs available in history. |
 | | These are just a few of hundreds of jobs no longer around, thank God, described with a mixture of fact and humour in the book. |
 | | Robinson also lists surnames derived from the jobs like Cash from the makers of chests and boxes or Fowler from a hunter of birds. |
