I'm Spartacus is a Radio 2 film panel game pilot in which four funny people battle it out in a series of ridiculous rounds for the right to call themselves 'Spartacus'.

Host Adam Buxton presides over the four panellists testing their film know-how with a variety of silly games and challenges, aided and abetted by the show's very own Deep Throat movie trailer man (Redd Pepper).

Rounds included creating sound effects for a film; pitching new film ideas to Hollywood; and suggesting endings to cliched movie trailers.

Popcorn is awarded for right answers, as the panellists vie for the greatest accolade of them all - to be crowned 'Spartacus'.

Our Review: A lively and fun pilot which deserves to be turned into a full series.

One negative was that the show relied heavily on pre-scripted material. However, as the jokes were funny, this didn't spoil proceedings much.
