PLEBS, the hilarious comedy, as seen on ITV2, 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! Our plebs are Marcus (Tom Rosenthal), Stylax (Joel Fry), lazy servant Grumio (Ryan Sampson) and Jason (Jonathan Pointing). Their efforts are hampered by their dodgy landlord (Karl Theobold), ruthless boss (Robert Lindsay) and side kick (Tom Basden). Guest stars include Danny Dyer, Maureen Lipman, Simon Callow, Shaun Williamson, Lauren Socha, Tim Key, James Fleet, Michelle Keegan, Miriam Margolyes, David Bamber and Amanda Holden.
The sudden departure of Stylax and equally sudden arrival of dappy blonde builder Jason (Jonathan Pointing) throws the lives of the Plebs into turmoil. But upheaval gives way to hope when they manage to wangle an abandoned toilet from crooked property developer Crassus (Robert Lindsay) which they decide to convert into Rome's hottest new wine-bar - The Crown and Toga . With Grumio as head-chef, Jason and waterboy/man Aurelius on drinks and Marcus as manager, this could be the boys chance to finally hit the big time and become players in the most exciting city in the world.
The year is now 23BC; Augustus Caesar is on the throne and our three plebs still wallow at the other end of the food chain. Following the blaze that nearly gutted the Crown and Toga, the boys have given it a lick of paint and are pushing ahead with their goal to turn it into Rome's trendiest nightspot. Starring Tom Rosenthal, Jon Pointing and Ryan Sampson as Marcus, Jason and Grumio. Other returning cast include Ellie Taylor, Tom Basden, Karl Theobald, Maureen Lipman, Samantha Spiro and Danny Webb. And this year's guests include Amanda Holden, Tracy Ann Oberman, Leo Gregory, Tony Robinson, Nigel Lindsay, John Thomson, Phil Davis, Kevin Bishop and Christopher Biggins.
