Friends and Heroes Season 1 Episode 6
Macky and the gang want to rescue some slaves who are forced to work, shackled, in the Roman granary, but their friends and neighbours are worried about the repercussions. Sollie’s mother, Miriam, challenges them by telling the story of Moses beating the Egyptian slave master, and Macky soon finds he has enough support to help the slaves.
Once rescued, the slaves must be hidden from the Romans, and Marx Brothers-style havoc ensues as Diana – theatrical wardrobe mistress – hides them right under the Romans’ noses at the theatre. The story of how Paul was changed on the Damascus Road gives Macky hope that even the Romans might one day change – and slavery will disappear.
