Coming up on Television

Up Pompeii
Frankie Howerd dons a toga here for a film version of his TV series based on the life of Roman slave Lurcio. Unfortunately, the blatantly obvious Carry On-style formula (the film is based on an idea by Carry On screenwriter Talbot Rothwell, and series regular Bernard Bresslaw features in the cast) only works sporadically. There's more interest in trying to put names to the plethora of familiar British faces in the cast, among them Patrick Cargill as the Emperor Nero and Michael Hordern as the unfortunate Ludicrus Sextus. (Starring:Lurcio*Frankie Howerd|Nero*Patrick Cargill|Ludicrus*Michael Hordern|Ammonia*Barbara Murray|Bilius*Lance Percival|Prosperus*Bill Fraser|Scrubba*Adrienne Posta|Voluptua*Julie Ege|Gorgo*Bernard Bresslaw|Nausius*Royce Mills|Erotica*Madeline Smith|Cassandra*Rita Webb|Odius*Ian Trigger|Villanus*Aubrey Woods|Priest*Hugh Paddick|Flavia*Laraine Humphreys|MC*Roy Hudd)
