Up Pompeii - Spartacus 

Just realised that the Centurion who locks them all up is the same guy who plays Lurkio's master in the second series. I suppose that is what is called acting because you'd barely believe it was the same person.

Great show, which I watched on a Sunday evening as a young boy. Thanks for the upload.

I love this show. I've watched it and rewatched it for the past 3 or 4 years now. Frankie Howerd is one of my favorite British actors.

"They gave him a suspended sentence......they hung him!" At the very height of his powers, nobody before or since has matched Frankie's brilliant mixture of innuendoes and one-liners.

It must have been hard for them not to crack up while doing this show. Some of the lines are memorable.

Absolutely brilliant comedy love it 😉👍🇬🇧

Brilliant pure genius

The voice on max Adrian I could listen to him all night couldn't believe he died a coupla years after this, saluti ✌️

Am I te only woman wo always fancied Frankie? So brilliant and e as te je ne said quoi

" Ooooooohhhh she's got me all mask about face" Classic British comedy from a classic British comedian, and look where we are now, today's comedy doesn't shine like this.

I Love the Monty Python film 'The Life of Brian' but they borrowed quite a lot from 'Up Pompeii', when John Cleese's Centurian Guard catches Brian painting graffiti is very similar to Lurchio getting caught with the 'Free the Slaves' pamphlets here (14:45) and Terry Gilliam's Jail keeper is almost identical to the guard in this episode (17:28)

I wish I could be on this show

it's mr mash!.

HE WAS SO FUNNY I LIKE ED THE ODES

WILLIE RUSHTON brilliant comedian

How on earth did the others not crack up laughing?

Great uploads, thanks a lot! Any chance you could also put up series 2, if you have it? and the one remaining episode of series one, " The senator and the asp"?

Is that the furthest Lurcio ever got with his prologue?

Pass the cheese

Scripted by Talbot Rothwell who who wrote all the " Carry On " movie s.

Thats the dodgyest sounding dog I've ever heard.

Them pills are wearing off Lol

I'm not being rude but I never understood why Willie Rushton was a celebrity. Was he an actor or comedian? I remember him on a load of panel shows at the time.

This video contains content from Channel 4, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds. i am in the UK at present wtf?

I've often been told what a 'comedy genius' Willie Rushdon was. Well he never once made me laugh...

Quite a bit of ad-libbing going on here!

Not too many 18 or 20 year olds on this shows sad.
