Plebs

Started by: Erasmus (398) 

A new UK comedy called "Plebs" starts tonight on ITV2 at 10pm.

I like the sound of it, its about three young blokes in ancient Rome ,puts me in mind of Big Bang Theory but I don't think it will get close to being as good but you never know.

Not a bad comedy, (Film was Dross) every other episode was funny...Sadly, that means every other episode wasn't.

Not seen inbetweeners. I avoid some stuff which seems aimed at a particular age group.

Wonder how many kids will acquire nicknames in homage to the dopey one?

The waterboy/man seemed to get a bit tiresome, but it was an 'intro' episode, so the character could develop.

Difference is, Grumio is liked.

I was distracted by 'Landlord'.

What had he been in? thought yours truly.

Google tells me that among other things he was in Doc Martin. I remembered him and his bothersome brat of a child.

And

Bugger me; he was only Dr Martin Dear in Green Wing.

I really enjoyed it and thought the "Russell Crowe" gladiator parody was spot on and yes the landlord could well become the hidden gem in this series.

I think they've got him right.

Now, to my shame, I actually burst out laughing at Grumio's reciprocation.
