Atti is a Roman teenager with brains but very little brawn. When one of his schemes falls foul of Emperor Nero, Atti is forced to join the army and is sent to miserable, cold, wet Britannia where the natives are revolting - quite literally. Things go from bad to worse when Atti is captured by Orla, a feisty teenage Celt and he uses his Roman smarts to help save her grandmother. Meanwhile a furious Nero has ordered more troops to crush the rebellion, led by Boudicca, warrior Queen of the Iceni tribe. Atti rejoins his fellow Romans and as the armies prepare for an historic showdown at the Battle of Watling Street, the two new friends find themselves on opposite sides of the battlefield.
Hunderby 1831 - A young woman thought to be a spinster missionary is washed up on the beach. In an attempt to escape her terrible past, she assumes the name of Helene Blone and marries the local widowed pastor and master of Hunderby. Once wed, it soon becomes apparent that Pastor Edmund is not quite the man he appeared to be and his peculiar housekeeper Dorothy (Julia Davis) makes it clear she prefers the dead wife, doing all she can to undermine the new mistress. Such trials push Helene towards the sturdy arms of the dashing Doctor Foggerty. Can she resist his charms and birth her husband an heir to save Hunderby?
The BAFTA® and British Comedy Award winning Hunderby returns with a two part special brimming with the dark and absurd humour that has become Julia Davis' trademark. Dorothy, the twisted housekeeper of Hunderby, has her sights firmly set on becoming wife to its master and Lady of the Manor. But Brother Edmund's appetites lay elsewhere, and when he is further encouraged to stray, by the return of the toffee brown Brother Joseph fresh from his tropical travels, Dorothy must invent myriad ways to snare her man. Having been told they are brother and sister, Crippled Hesther and the dashing Doctor Foggerty lead separate but entwined lives: Hesther languishing in a grim hovel within the Hunderby grounds, whilst the Doctor abides in the grand house close to his beloved Helene. When puritanical Pastor John arrives to tend Edmund's wayward flock, he means to punish each and every sinner - but not before he has secured a wife.
Chris Morris' "Four Lions" is a funny, thrilling comedy that illuminates modern jihadism through the prism of farce. It understands jihadists as human beings. And it understands human beings as innately ridiculous.
