Guest stars included a number of "Carry On" girls with Barbara Windsor, Wendy Richard and Valerie Leon all having parts.

The set-up was little more than a backdrop for an endless series of double entendres and risqué gags.
Frankie Howerd was the key to most of the gags and he started each episode with a prologue .

The scripts were inspired by the plays of 'Plautus .'
The musical 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum', set in ancient Rome was also said to be an influence.

There were 13 x30-minute episodes in two series (March – May and September – October 1970).
In addition there was a pilot episode (1969) and two special episodes entitled 'Further Up Pompeii,' one in 1975 and the other in 1991.
The latter sparked speculation that there could be a new series, before Frankie Howerd's death in 1992 put an end to any such prospect.


The series was filmed in front of a live audience, with which the actors interacted.



The TV show "inspired" three films.
The first was also called 'Up Pompeii' (1971)
The film ended with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius,

Other sequels were...............
' Up the Chastity Belt' (1971)
and 'Up the Front' (1972),
these last movies transported Frankie Howerd's servile, cowardly character to Medieval times (as Sir Lurkalot) and the First World War (as Private Lurk), respectively, in a similar way to the later Blackadder TV series starring Rowan Atkinson.

The show 'Up Pompeii' also inspired a similar TV series, ' Whoops Baghdad,'also starring Frankie Howerd.

the series was indeed based on Plautus, then again 'A Funny thing Happened on the way to the Forum' was itself based on Plautus.

Frankie made one of his comeback's playing the lead in the London stage version of the play. He was such a smash they made the TV show around him.

Wendy in her appearance in this show. Fine looking lass she was back in the day

I often used to have a nice w*nk while thinking about sexy Madeline Smith as Erotica in the movie.

I wink sometimes, but not sure I enjoy it as you do.
