There are several more of these! Ruth, Peter, and (usually) Alex are so amazingly good at this.
Random fact: Ruth Goodman's demonstrations of how laundry was washed through the ages and why those methods worked has changed how I do my own laundry. It turns out the washing machine isn't nearly as effective as a half-hearted manual wash with a laundry plunger, while causing substantially more wear.
