Chelmsford 123 (1988–1990)
10/10
True Brit comedy
1 September 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Chelmsford 123 is almost certainly one of the funniest historical comedies of all time. It knocks spots off History of the World mostly due to its English humour. Of course Americans probably wont get 90% of the jokes, but it was not written for them.

The tortured Grasientus, the oblivious to reality Functio who lives in Functio world, the totally stupid and hilarious Blag, Mungo the Chelmsford 123 version of a spiv, and the myriad of characters that drop in and out through the series, Andy Hamilton terrific parody of a druid priest, and Chris Langham as the dimwitted roman guard. You can probably tell Im a BIG fan, and my wife loves the series too, and she is Russian !

Buy it, rent it, borrow beg or steal it, but be sure to watch it !

"Hello Aulus, mind if I have a go on your rope ?"

"Grasientus, go to your room and write a fare well note to your testicles !"

"Ooo Err Ooo Err, Give us a bite of your pastie big boy, Ooo Err"

Blag "Ikwa Ikwa Wiki Wiki Wiki Plunger ! Plunger !!" Badvok indignantly "Its not Plunger !! Its Ploonjaha, Ploonjaha !!"

Aulus "Blag, thats an odd name, is it short for something ?" Badvok "Yeah, its short for that great fat dozy git Blag!"

"Dopey the frog !"

"Badvok, leader of the Trinavanti's, and three times runner up in the all Britain pillage a village competition !"

Classic !!!
