Where's she getting those dormice, then?


I've got a sleeping cat - but she is most certainly not for eating!


Are there any famous Ancient Roman cats? (As opposed to Ancient Egyptian ones, whose god-like status has resulted in the way cats treat humans ever since).


Not that I can think of.

We'll have none of that, thank you very much.

Would there be so many black slaves in Ancient Rome, I wonder?

They did a roaring slave trade in Rome. I bet they had some Stokie slaves.

Highly prized. For their mordant wit.

Better off playing Roman Monopoly. Build two houses on the Aventine. Get Out Of Gaul Free. It’s your birthday – execute the other players.
 
Cygnus Bazza
Hang on. Got a picture freeze. Not a frieze.

I've been using some of these 'jokes' for over 40 years, I'll have you know.

Each side of the board is a different part of the Empire. Britain is in the prison corner.

Try going to the end and reversing until you get to the sticking point.

Clearly OSP has got her friend Mal Ware to sort out the link for her

This has turned into a rewatch on the radio. I hope they've got someone to bang coconuts together for horses' hooves

OK, found another version which seems to be working. But very frustrating - they kept giving me the wrong episode.
 
M1795537OCVirn
I'm beginning to think I'm watching a different episode...
