Win the Plebs finale, Soldiers Of Rome, on DVD
ITV2's mighty sitcom Plebs returns for a feature-length finale this month, and we have copies of the DVD release for you to win.
Now to be found on the broadcaster's new streaming platform, ITVX, the special - Soldiers Of Rome - launches alongside the service's official debut on Thursday 8th December, and will be available to buy from the following Monday.
Following the antics of three lowly plebs living at the heart of the mighty ancient Roman empire in its eponymous capital, the sitcom has run for five series, starring Tom Rosenthal, Ryan Sampson, Joel Fry, and later, Jon Pointing.
Combatting the everyday concerns of young men from the suburbs trying to find their way in a big city, the group tackle every task with unwavering (blind) hope - and encounter similarly unwavering eventual failure! Joined in each episode by brilliant guest stars from the world of comedy and acting, their varied friends and nemeses across the series include Maureen Lipman, Ellie Taylor, Doon Mackichan and the show's co-writer, Tom Basden.
After years of failed schemes, the final special sees Jason, Marcus and slave Grumio throw their lot in by joining the army in a last ditch attempt to win romance and respect, only for war to be declared and being shipped off to the far-flung edge of the empire...
Plebs - Soldiers Of Rome is released on DVD and digital download formats on Monday 12th December 2022.
