Doctor Who

Not entirely convinced by the historical accuracy, but somebody studied the Cambridge Latin Course. Caecilius est pater, Metella est mater, Quintus est filius, indeed.

We thought Grumio (est coquus) was a private detective at first; his frying pan looked more like a magnifying glass...

That's just been explained on the Confidential.

The family being named after the Cambridge Latin course was very pleasing.

They didn't recreate the Grumio est in canis scene...

Aw man, I did that course. Metella was always sitting down. My weirdo teacher had a bizarre sort-of crush on Quintus.

So I guess we can assume the dog was round somewhere?

All of that went right past me, never having studied Latin in the UK (or anywhere else for that matter)...

Alas, we used L.A. Wilding's books, so all we got were descriptions of battles and British tribes lifted from the Gallic Wars.
