Doesn't Clarkson show himself up with the comment about being owed 42 billion pounds? oh wait, he'd already done that joking about his mother being old...

Very big thing, since it pre-dated canning foods!

@captianmorgen i dont want to act like a know it all but i think these profession help new industries in research and development. for example u need a plastic jar that can stand 2 billion degrees of heat, they help you to go back in time and see what compound they used 200 years ago and see if you can make a compound of plastic that can stand that kind of heat with materials available then and now by mixing them together.

@captianmorgen It's a tendency on modern history to hyper-specialize due to overabundance of sources. I knew a guy who studied the wool trade of a northern england town between 1604 and 1611 for 40 years an hasn't finished yet.
