The worst time to be British?
The One Show's Justin Rowlatt, with his daughter, appeared in the first of our 'Worst Time to be British' films.
Justin picked the Industrial Revolution as his 'Worst Time' to investigate.
As he found out when he visited Quarrybank Mill in Cheshire, conditions in the factories were often dire and the workers - 30% of whom could be children, often went to an early grave.
John Sergeant presented the second of the films in this series. John selected the blitz of WWII as his 'Worst Time'.
In the third 'Worst Time' film, Hardeep Singh Kohli looked at the Highland clearances.
Thursday's film had Micheal Mosley argue that 1665 during the great plague in the village of Eyam, Derbyshire was the worst time to be British.
On Friday, in the final film of the series, Phil Tufnell investigated the Worst Time that he'd selected - the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII.
