Chelmsford 123

This is the brand new first series of the audio revival of classic comedy Chelmsford 123, Hat Trick’s first official production for Channel 4.

Chelmsford 123 was originally a two-series sitcom set in Roman Britain that brought memorable characters, strong gags and hilarious storylines to the small screen. Using the original scripts as foundation, these four episodes contain all-new material written by Rory McGrath and Jimmy Mulville and are perfect for both fans of the series as well as anyone looking for a bit of comic relief… so come back with us to 123 AD for a generous dose of historical humour.

Episode 1 - Arrivederci Roma: It’s 123 AD and the people of Britain are about to receive a new governor from Rome - Aulus Paulinus. This is not the greatest news for the local Trinovantes tribe, so their leader - Badvoc - plots a ‘welcome’ party.

Episode 2 - What’s Your Poison?: Whilst Aulus plans a great banquet to improve relations with the local leaders, Grasientus plots to poison Badvoc. Each side hears word of the treachery and believes it aimed at them.

Episode 3 - One For The Road: Aulus Paulinus intends to put his mark on Britain by constructing a grand Roman road direct between Londinium and Chelmsford - but there’s a seemingly insignificant settlement in the way.

Episode 4 - Heads You Lose: After a trip to inspect the fortifications against the border of Caledonia, Aulus has had enough of Badvoc’s liberty-taking and has him imprisoned under sentence of death. Is this the end of the (Roman) road for Badvoc?

Chelmsford 123: The Audio Revival is produced by Hat Trick Productions and Spiteful Puppet Entertainment. This series is narrated by Rory McGrath, Philip Pope, Neil Pearson, Paterson Joseph, Phil Nice, Barnaby Eaton-Jones, Kim Jones, Ben Perkins, Darrell Maclaine, Hannah Boydell and Wink Taylor.
