Alex Horne put together a pleasing amalgamation of university lecture, children's breakfast TV show and choose-your-own adventure book.
The premise of an adult education Latin course was just the road into a tangled Spaghetti Junction of possibilities.
The audience were divided into boys and girls, with a captain of each sex, and launched on an interactive Roman holiday around Sheffield via a projected computer screen, with the aim of collecting four golden keys.
On the way we were supposed to pick up Latin vocabulary while encountering figures such as the Oracle of Frank Lampard and the Cyclops (pop singer Gabrielle with a head full of wasps).
Mr Horne and his talented assistant Tim Keys (whose fabulous deadpan eyebrows will take him far) could have done with a more gung-ho audience to really take flight, but their digitally enhanced linguistic ramblings remained strangely entrancing.
