The worst jobs -- ever

British comedian Tony Robinson, best known as Baldrick on "Blackadder," has done a new TV series called The Worst Jobs in History. The show's Web site describes dozens and dozens of mind-bogglingly dangerous and disgusting occupations from times past -- enough ideas to power an entire season of "Fear Factor."

Robinson himself tried out about 50 of them for the show. In an interview with The Sun, he lists what he considers the seven very worst. One was being a fuller, whose job was extracting grease from wool by soaking it in a tub of stale human urine ... then stomping on it for two hours in bare feet. And no, that's not his pick for the all-time worst.

Be sure to check out the linked Q&A with readers in which he talks about prospects for more "Blackadder," among other things.
