Excellent spoof. Asterix the Gaul meets Carry On.

British humour - if you don't get British humour your face will be like, 'huh?' all the way through. Test: "Dyslexic man walks into a bra," subtract 4 if you went, 'huh?'.

Excellent production values with just a few odd scene shifts, nice score and the jokes are maintained through to the end. Good characterisation and plot that makes you care about this mad alternate Roman world. This is what happens when a good group of actors are pooled together and told, 'It's a pantomime - go for it.'

There are some great pastiche characters; the Picts are perfect and I loved the queen, 'Excellent war, well done, carry on.'
