The might of the Roman Empire has conquered every part of Britain - every part, that is, except one small village.  Realising that they cannot hold out much longer against the Roman legions the inhabitants of this small village send out an urgent appeal to a similar village across the Channel, one that has so far resisted capture by the Romans.  With a barrel of their magic potion, Astérix and Obélix set out to help their brothers in need in Britain...
