Peeled Grapes and Pedicures
Prismark1025 July 2021
The comparison with Blackadder are more evident in the last episode of the first series.

Helen Atkinson Wood was Mrs Miggins in the former appears as Functio's Wife.

Aulus reminiscences about some Roman traditions such as orgies. He decides to have the festival of Saturnalia to England.

This means choosing an idiot to be king for a day. Badvoc is chosen but Grasientus has plans for Badvoc to be king for more than just 24 hours.

Aulus now has to plan to get his kingdom back.

It's pretty silly.. What was Grasientus's motive for Badvoc to be king? Where was the Roman army? I am sure someone in Rome planned to be king for more than a day back in Rome.

It is still a generally amusing episode. Angus Deayton is in his element as a cynical and greedy lawyer.
