Up Pompeii!

BBC One
on BBC One London

Written by Talbot Rothwell
[Starring] Frankie Howerd
A sort of 'Carry On up the Forum' starring Frankie Howerd as a slave who is too eager to please

Writer Talbot Rothwell has used more than a few old jokes in the Carry On films but never as old as this which is based, very loosely indeed, on the works of Plautus (who lived some 2,000 years ago)
