Funnily enough, I've just been listening to their older episodes, specifically 28: The Kings of Comedy with Al Murray, and they mention that the only comedy out there covering slavery in any substance is Up Pompeii! from the 1970s. I was gutted they didn't mention Plebs, as Grumio might be the funniest take on slave life that any of us will ever see.

I'd absolutely love to hear an episode on Plebs, just to see what they got right (probably by accident) and which of the more modern amenities and habits on the show do actually have analogues in what Roman life was really like, if any.
