Further Up Pompeii! (1991): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1991, Further Up Pompeii! is a comedia and película de tv film directed by Ian Hamilton, running about 40 minutes. “Nay, Nay & Thice May!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. This one-off was shown on ITV in 1991, and by different writers, then the original Talbot Rothwell & Sid Colin. In my opinion a brilliant come-back for Howerd, with a new cast, and funny script. This could have seen a good return as a series on ITV, although Howerds own death in 1992 limited this. The cast in this one-off feature some regulars from other sitcoms from the 1970's including Roy Evans who now stars in Eastenders. The set was more like a theatre than a TV set, no reality at all which, was actually quite a good move. In summing up they successfully bought a true classic back to life with Further Up Pompeii. It's well worth watching at least 2.
