... for The Tolpuddle Martyrs

Fancy moving to Australia for a few years? Sounds lovely doesn't it. Only, instead of showing off your beach bod at Bondi beach, you're forced to do backbreaking labour all day every day. And getting there? Not a 48 hour flight with films and tv, you're chained up in a boat, cramped in even tighter than an airplane seat for 4 months, hoping you don't get an illness that finishes you off before you get there. That's what happened to six men from Dorset after they dared, DARED, to try and get a pay rise so that they could feed their families. Hear their story here. In this weeks episode of The Hunt, David teaches Kayleigh all about The Tolpuddle Martyrs. Dorset isn't just known as the birthplace of one David A Doust, being home to Europes 4th best beach, or where Mary Shelley is buried. It's also known for being the site of a very important moment in the history of British working rights.  David tells us all about the ins and outs of the events at Tolpuddle, and we have a new game at the end of the episode.
