Roman's Empire BBC2 12/04/07 21.30

I thought it worthy to bring this to your attention, just notice a trailer for it, but other than that it’s completely past me by.

There also little or nothing on the web.

Wonder why they’re keeping it a secret?

I'm really looking forward to this because it's got a nice plot and a good cast. I also think it sounds something like Arrested Development, not that it'll be on par with such a show but i think it'll have that type of feel to it.

By the way, there's a bit about it on this site in the "in production" section i believe.

Sounds Good! Although I'd rather see Chris O'Dowd in the second series of The IT Crowd.

Hurrah!
I love Matthew Horne and Nicolas Burns.

I've seen a couple of adverts for this, and thought it looked quite promising. Here's hoping!

FYI - Our guide to the show is here

Sorry, its a bit lacking at the moment but will be expanded.

Cant wait for this on Thursday looks quite interesting.

It sounds and looks like shit to me. But I'll watch it on Thursday just to prove myself right.

I think and will do the same as Chipolata, all the people in it I hate as actors, especially Nicolas Burns the king of 'that voicing'.

Bump

Just as a reminder as it starts in a little over a hour.

Well, i really enjoyed this and i hope it improves. I like it's quirky humor and camera style, and it reminded me a little bit of Seinfeld and Arrested Development in ways.

The visual gags also had me laughing, especially the "Sluts" one.

I thought Matthew Horne, Neil Dudgeon and Chris O'Dowd were great in their roles as main character, dad and the husband trying to escape but i found Nicholas Burns a bit over the top.

I'd easily watch it again.

Promising start, look forward to next week episode.

Hmm. Yes. Interesting. Not sure what to make of it really. The story I found quite compelling so I suspect I'll be watching again next week, but there was something about it... I dunno. Odd.

Talking babies? Nappies? Incest undertones? Odd. You don't say.

I meant more the vibe it gave off rather than the content!
