Rest assured, Plebs is not about Andrew Mitchell and "Plebgate". Instead it might be described as a gentler take on The Inbetweeners - but set in Ancient Rome. At first glance it works because the characters are likeable, the jokes mostly work as does the "yoof" vocabulary. The "plebs" are Marcus (Tom Rosenthal) and Stylax (Joel Fry) and their slave Grumio (Ryan Sampson) and in the opener the neurotic Marcus decides an orgy might be good place to go for a first date.
