Series examines worst jobs in history

Ever wanna be a 'groom of the stool?' According to a survey commissioned by History TV, 17% of Canadians would be willing to claim this title and clean King Henry VIII's behind for $100,000 a year. The survey has also revealed that nearly half of Canadians (44%) think that the Prime Minister has one of the worst jobs in the country. The survey was conducted by Decima Research as part of a PR move to coincide with the network's airing of The Worst Jobs in History, a six-part series that takes a humorous and historical look at the jobs no one would ever want. The six-parter, hosted by Tony Robinson, hits screens on Monday, May 30 at 9 p.m. and has a primary target demo of adults 25-54 with a male skew.
