Manners McDade’s Oli Julian and Nick Foster Score ‘Plebs’ Season 5

Manners McDade composers Oli Julian and Nick Foster have scored the latest season of ITV2 series Plebs.

Created by Sam Leifer and Tom Basden, series 5 will see returning favourite characters, including Marcus (Tom Rosenthal), Grumio (Ryan Sampson) and Jason (Job Pointing), as they continue their Roman adventures in the BAFTA-nominated sitcom.

The stellar cast will include new additions this series with Amanda Holden, Tracy Ann Oberman, Tony Robinson, John Thomson, Kevin Bishop, Leo Gregory and Christopher Biggins.

Writer and director Leifer says: "For series 5, we’ve finally hit the year 23BC which makes very little difference to our plebs. We’re delighted with how it’s turned out though and are excited for people to see the new episodes.”

Oli Julian returns as the show’s composer and co-scores this series with Nick Foster. Previously Oli and Nick have scored Cuckoo (BBC3), Hospital People (BBC) and Year of The Rabbit (Channel 4), starring Matt Berry and Keeley Hawes.

Oli is also known for his score to Catastrophe (C4), Josh (BBC3), Cockroaches (ITV2), and season 4 of Episodes. Most recently, Oli finished scoring his first feature film How To Build A Girl, an adaptation of Caitlin Moran’s book due for theatrical release next year. Nick is known for his score to Thunderbirds Are Go! (Co-composed with Ben Foster), and BBC/Netflix teen drama The A List.

Plebs series 5 airs tonight, 10pm, ITV2.
