Plebs

Rome is traditionally imagined as the home of emperors and senators, generals and gladiators, a dignified theatre of pomp and ceremony. But what about the little guys, the wasters - new to the big city, stuck in office jobs, unable to get the girls? Plebs follows three desperate young men from the suburbs as they try to get laid, hold down jobs and climb the social ladder in the big city - a city that happens to be ancient Rome. The series stars Tom Rosenthal, Joel Fry and Ryan Sampson as the three young men Marcus, Stylax and their lazy slave with an attitude problem, Grumio. (Universal Pictures UK)
