Amanda Holden of Britain’s Got Talent has joined the cast of Plebs, an Ancient Roman comedy. She will play Rufina, a “lusty” aristocrat. Holden previously appeared in an episode of The Worst Witch. Plebs Season 5 filming began in Bulgaria in the last week of May, with a slew of guest performers, including Emilia Fox, Tony Robinson, Ann Oberman, John Thomson, Kevin Bishop, Leo Gregory, Nigel Lindsay, and Phil Davis. Jason will be Rufina’s “plaything for the evening” in Season 5 as he gatecrashes a banquet. Holden’s character will be set directly on Jason and based on the teaser image for Plebs season five, that doesn’t appear to be an issue.
About the Series: Plebs
Plebs’ debut episode premiered on March 25, 2013. As more people tuned in to watch the British comedy series produced by Tom Basden, Caroline Leddy, and Teddy Leifer, it quickly became quite popular. Throughout its tenure, the show has been nominated for and won numerous awards, including the Royal Television Society Award for Best Scripted Comedy in 2014 and the British Comedy Award for Best New Comedy Programme in 2013. Plebs is recognized for its witty comedy and clever use of anachronistically current jargon, and it has a way of making viewers cry with laughter.

Plebs returned last week with a double bill after a 17-month absence. Amanda earned an appearance in the third episode. ‘I’m playing Rufina, who has an arid sense of humor, she’s provocative and extremely outrageous,’ Amanda said of her role. I’m not sure where she gets it! She’s obviously on the prowl, but she’s not going to do anything wrong because she’s married; she just wants to have some fun,’ Amanda added.

Marcus, Stylax, and their slave Grumio, played by Tom Rosenthal, Joel Fry, and Ryan Sampson, are essential to the plot of Plebs. It follows the three newcomers from the provinces as they adjust to life in ancient Rome. Marcus and Stylax work in a grain company’s scriptorium alongside their boss Flavia, water carrier Aurelius, and communications officer Claudius, all of whom are played by Doon Mackichan, Tom Basden, and Adrian Scarborough, respectively. They live next door to Cynthia, an aspiring actress, and her slave Metella, who Sophie Colquhoun and Lydia Rose Bewley play. The trio must deal with their shady landlord, a persistent thorn on their side.
How the Plebs Season 5 Ends?
The boys face uncertainty when their landlord evicts them from their flat without warning. Marcus is hoping that his parents, who are in town for the weekend, will assist him in getting on the property ladder, but his father has other intentions for their cash. Meanwhile, Jason’s slick negotiating skills get him a job as an estate agent. Jason’s brother Darius is getting married, Marcus is keen to rent the Crown and Toga for the occasion, while Grumio volunteers as the wedding planner. Their intentions are jeopardized, however, when they discover Darius is a serial liar. Marcus has a run-in with their slacker postman.
The show is similar to others in the genre in that it makes its audience laugh till their stomachs hurt, much like the others. Throughout the opening and closing titles, it employs historical motifs and mostly ska or rocksteady music. Tom Rosenthal, Ryan Sampson, Joel Fry, and Jonathan Pointing play youthful residents of ancient Rome in the show. The show’s format has been likened to The Inbetweeners, Up Pompeii, and Blackadder. Rosenthal, Sampson, and Pointing all returned for the fifth and final season.
