Outrage as Plebs uses circus lion for gags
Animal rights campaigners have erupted with outrage after Plebs used a circus lion for one of its shows.
The Daily Express, 6th April 2016Plebs is back: sharply written, funny & filthy as ever
Series three of the ITV2 comedy sees Marcus, Stylax and Grumio on the wrong end of a lion, while guest stars Maureen Lipman and Michelle Keegan shine.
Paul Jones, Radio Times, 4th April 2016The plebs are back for a well-deserved third series, and Marcus, Stylax and Grumio are hoping to get tickets for the hugely popular "beast games" at the Colosseum. Instead, they find themselves embroiled with a group of animal rights activists, led by a fiery Gaul called Delphine, whose main form of protest appears to be the use of tomatoes. Understandably, Marcus is soon infatuated. The dim-witted Grumio unwisely crosses Landlady, their new landlady, played by the magnificent Maureen Lipman.
