Hi,

I'd just thought i'd let you all know of a brilliant 12 part british drama i have just finished watching, which has just recently been screened on BBC2 in the UK. It is called 'I Claudius'(BBC 1976) based on the novels 'I Claudius' and 'Claudius The God' by Robert Graves.

It is a no-holds barred account of the history of the Julio-Claudinian roman dynasty, and murder, poisonings and plots are a many.

This is tens times better than any soap opera, quality entertainment from the UK, including Derek Jacobi, Sian Phillips (of 'dune' fame, i think), Patrick Stewart (of 'star trek' fame) Brian Blessed, John Hurt, Christopher Biggins and many others.

The final episode (12) 'Old King Log' is a fantastic way to end the series.

But watch it from the begining!

Augustus and Claudius were my favourites. But Livia, Messalina, and Agripinella were such *******.

Make this a drama to watch before you die!

Yes we watched these in my Latin Classes. Very well done.
