Erudite, fanciful nonsense, set in Ancient Rome.
SERIES ONE – The Animal Scammus
In which our hero, Video, investigative journalist for the “Roman Daily Express” uncovers a plot to force up the price of animals for the Coliseum.
With the help of his daughter Peculia, a time-travelling French fop called Quai and Addictus, a dealer in all things, Video chases the corruption to the top of the Roman ruling elite.
Written, produced and performed by Peter Sumner & Hugh Wade.
Sound effects and music background by MAX THROWER.
Additional voices from the terminally smooth Robbie McGregor and others whose names escape me for the (senior) moment … and of course the inimitable Ms Anna Steen as all the small boys, women and girls in Rome over a mix of nebulous time zones.
