Plebs star exits UK comedy

Joel Fry, who played Stylax in the first three series of "Roman sitcom," has left the show.

Joel Fry, who played Stylax in the first three series of the UK “Roman sitcom” Plebs has left the show.

He will be replaced by Jonathan Pointing, who joins the show as “happy-go-lucky” builder Jason in the upcoming fourth series.

Remaining cast including Tom Rosenthal (Marcus) and Grumio (Ryan Sampson) will return, alongside Doon Mackichan (Flavia), Karl Theobald (Landlord), Tom Basden (Aurelius), Tom Davis (Davus) and Maureen Lipman (Landlady).

The fourth season will see the leads thrown into a completely new situation: running a wine bar. After acquiring an abandoned toilet from crooked property developer Crassus (Robert Lindsay), the boys will convert the space into The Crown and Toga bar. Grumio acts as head-chef, Jason and waterboy/man Aurelius are on drinks and Marcus takes up the manager position.

As ITV say, “This status leads to new adventures as they tangle with Rome’s foremost food critic, launch a cabaret night with a scathing satirist, take part in the city’s marathon and host a snail-racing syndicate – before coming up against their biggest challenge so far, an aggressive takeover bid from a local Germanian bar famous for their popular brown-liquid ‘beer’.”

Plebs S3 airs in Australia on ABC Comedy.
