The first half of the first episode is set in Rome- with the appointment of a new governor for the province of Britannia. In Latin.
It is subtitled- but this very bold move had me hooked instantly.
Then the scene moves to Wassers Tavern in Chelmsford- and is a delight from then on for the duration of both series.
It has hard to pick a favourite episode. I can only exhort you to get a copy or watch it on-stream.
It is clever, funny beyond funny- and deserves to be known.
Rory McGrath in his dopey the frog battle jock strap is a site to behold! Treat yourselves.
