Four of the comic's great shows: 'Up Pompeii', 'Further Up Pompeii', 'Then Churchill Said To Me' and 'The Best Of Frankie Howard'. 'Up Pompeii' is the feature length spin-off from the Frankie Howerd television series about a lazy slave living in ancient Pompeii. When a document falls into his hands listing the names of those plotting to assassinate Emperor Nero, he is forced to infiltrate the group. In 'Further Up Pompeii', Frankie Howerd reprises the role of the Roman slave Lurcio after a twenty-year interlude. In this one-off special, Lurcio has become a tavern keeper, having forged his late master's will to gain his freedom. Unfortunately, the scheming Villainus Brutus has discovered Lurcio's secret and is blackmailing him in return for keeping quiet. Also included in this collection is the complete series of the BBC wartime comedy series 'Then Churchill Said To Me', which was made in 1982 but shelved during the Falklands war, and rarely broadcast since. Howerd takes on two roles, playing humble private Percy Potter and General 'Fearless' Freddy Hollocks, at the height of the Second World War in London. Episodes are: 'Operation Panic', 'A Mole in the Hole', 'Nanny By Searchlight', 'Those Who Loot We Shoot', 'Blow Out' and 'Goose Has Landed'. 'The Best of Frankie Howerd' includes sketches from 'An Evening With Frankie Howerd' and Royal Variety Performances, and chat show appearances on Parkinson and Wogan.
