Filming takes place at a studio in Bulgaria, with Leifer also directing the Rise Films production.

The first three series of the sitcom are available on DVD, and the popular original sound track is also available to buy.

Plebs - Series 1 - 3

All episodes from the first three series of the TV comedy following the exploits of three young men in ancient Rome.

Whilst others revel in the grandeur, opulence and splendor of Rome, low-on-the-totem-pole Marcus (Tom Rosenthal), Stylax (Joel Fry) and their apathetic slave Grumio (Ryan Sampson) are more interested in doing what lads the world over do - which usually involves women.

First released: Monday 18th July 2016
