CHELMSFORD 123
Plucky Brits take on the Romans
TOWIE fans will tune in to this in vain: this isn’t the latest hot Essex nightspot but a neglected sitcom from the 1980s, set in Roman Britain in the year AD123. Channel 4 comedy stalwarts Rory McGrath and Neil Pearson take centre stage as boisterous Brits taking on the occupying Latinspeakers, led by toga-clad Jimmy Mulville as the cold- and dampaverse Governor.
