I thought it worthy to bring this to your attention, just notice a trailer for it, but other than that it’s completely past me by.

There also little or nothing on the web.

Wonder why they’re keeping it a secret?

COMEDY: Roman's Empire
Channel: BBC 2 South 2
Date: Thursday 12th April 2007
Time: 21:30 to 22:00 (starting in 7 days)
Duration: 30 minutes.
Comedy series. Roman Pretty is a self-made millionaire with three beautiful daughters. When guys get romantically involved with his daughters, they become members of the family and pawns in his business empire - whether they like it or not. In episode one, Leo tries to get his girlfriend Nikki back by outing her new boyfriend Seb who he suspects is gay. Jenny gives birth to a baby, while her husband Jase plans an escape from the country.
Starring: Neil Dudgeon, Matthew Horne, Montserrat Lombard, Nicholas Burns, Sarah Solemani, Chris O'Dowd

I'm really looking forward to this because it's got a nice plot and a good cast. I also think it sounds something like Arrested Development, not that it'll be on par with such a show but i think it'll have that type of feel to it.

By the way, there's a bit about it on this site in the "in production" section i believe.

Sounds Good! :) Although I'd rather see Chris O'Dowd in the second series of The IT Crowd.

I've seen a couple of adverts for this, and thought it looked quite promising. Here's hoping! :)

I think and will do the same as Chipolata, all the people in it I hate as actors, especially Nicolas Burns the king of 'that voicing'.

Well, i really enjoyed this and i hope it improves. I like it's quirky humour and camera style, and it reminded me a little bit of Seinfeld and Arrested Development in ways.

The visual gags also had me laughing, especially the "Sluts" one.

I thought Matthew Horne, Neil Dudgeon and Chris O'Dowd were great in their roles as main character, dad and the husband trying to escape but i found Nicholas Burns a bit over the top.

I'd easily watch it again.

Hmm. Yes. Interesting. Not sure what to make of it really. The story I found quite compelling so I suspect I'll be watching again next week, but there was something about it... I dunno. Odd.

Talking babies? Nappies? Incest undertones? Odd. You don't say. :P

I meant more the vibe it gave off rather than the content!
