Three episodes of the outrageous early-seventies Britcom about life and lust (mostly the latter) in ancient Pompeii. While the naughty bath house hi-jinks may send some viewers to the vomitorium, fans of Howerd's comic stylings will gorge on an orgy of ridiculous scenarios. In "Vestal Virgins" Lurcio must gather some virgins for an important ceremony. Only one problem, there seem to be no true virgins in swinging Pompeii. In "The Love Potion," Lurcio is given the night off, only to be pursue lustily by the entire Sextus family. In "James Bondus" all of Pompeii seems eager to defrock the poor Lurcio--a ghastly plot he'd like to avoid. [More]
