DVD Description

The cult BBC comedy about the self-made millionaire who likes to keep it in the family...

Roman's Empire might have started as a caravan park but now it’s a multi-million pound leisure and travel agency, branching out to places people never knew they wanted to go. Like Somalia.

Roman has three beautiful daughters, one of whom used to be Leo’s girlfriend, until she returned from filming B-movie thriller The Squid (They're Killermari!) with a new boyfriend…

Can Leo prove himself better than the wang-shape pulling, rugger-loving Seb? Will his only ally, Jase, finally succeed in escaping Roman’s eldest daughter, Jenny and their child? Can Leo avoid dealing with the family’s strangest – and richest – member, the deeply-creepy, Uncle Jesus? Or, does Leo’s only hope of winning Nikki back lie in helping Roman build his theme park "Romania"?

Starring: Neil Dudgeon, Mathew Horne, Nicholas Burns, Montserrat Lombard, Carla Mendonça, Chris O’Dowd, Scarlett Rose Patterson, Sarah Solemani

Director: Elliot Hegarty. Executive Producer: Sophie Clarke-Jervoise
Producer: Ben Cavey.
Written & Created by: Harry & Jack Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars Friends, Romans, lend me you ears..and titter ye not missus.., 10 Aug 2008
By V. Kavanagh "Vincent K" (Shrewsbury UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
..or rather, do, because this is top quality off-the-wall Brit humour that seems to have largely slipped by unnoticed. Some excellent comedy performances from many faces that you will know (without necessarily being able to name them), in a series that actually justifies the tag 'surreal'.

5.0 out of 5 stars What did the Romans do for us?, 22 Feb 2009
By K. Cross (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this show, how did it not get a second series?!?!?!?!

I can only describe it as the English 'Arrested Development'

Nuff said Arrested Development - Season 1 [DVD]

5.0 out of 5 stars underrated genius, 26 Sep 2008
By Mr. A. Thompson "dystopia" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Watching this is a memorable experience.
I really can't see why no1 watched it but I am infintely thankful that it is out on dvd and i can introduce all my friends to it (who all love it now).
Maybe it was too dark and surreal for BBC audiences who prefer the far more mundane and overrated 'Gavin and Stacey'. Obviously a joke about trying to sell a talking baby didn't gel with modern audiences. Idiots.
I suspect this will be an undiscovered gem for future generations looking back at Matthew Hornes career. Though I expect he will not acqknowledge it.

It is crying out for another series.
