`Coin producer' one of the seven worst jobs in history?

This link to the UK's very own `Sun' newspaper article was provided to
the Moneta-L discussion list by Ed Snible.

The `actor' concerned in the article will be well known to anyone in the
UK who has ever seen `Blackadder'.

Well worth a read :-)

Is this the guy that runs around on weekend archaeological digs on BBC
America?

I like that show, but he's a pest.

Great link, Ian. Many thanks.
I love the bit about John Cleese's tendency to actually go nuts and *really*
beat Manuel Sachs (he's from Barcelona).

After I saw him laying into his Morris 1100 with a tree branch ("I'm going to
give you the thrashing of your life!") I can believe it, too.

What a great concept - the worst jobs.
I hope it makes it here.

One and the same.

He was much better playing the part of Baldrick in `Blackadder'. :-)

Ian

Not sure about Dorothy and the cowardly lion, but the rest of us use PAL-B
However, of late most video/TV and DVD/TV combinations can happily handle NTSC
or just about anything else. My DVD players are certainly all-region
multi-format.

Broadcast is PAL-B, though.

Well, just click your heels three times (while wearing your best ruby
red slippers of course) and when the programme launches here, i'll
forward you the domestic copy I am entitled to make for reviewing at my
own leisure.

Whoo-hoo!
....and I shall be delighted to view and review it for bona fide educational
purposes.

Thanks Ian.
