In 1895 there was no video games, no TV, in fact there wasn’t even radio to pass the time.

in London, England, were lucky to have a fellow patient up a tree to entertain them.
Would he jump? Would he fall? Would he throw poo? How long would this play out?
It had all the suspense and drama of a silent movie for everyone.
