Claudius.jpg
65 KB, 350x500
I just finished this and my god, it was absolutely brilliant. Probably in the top 10 dramas I've ever watched in my life.

Any other recommendations?

Well even though it's less than 25 years ago, the Iraq War, or at least the invasion of Iraq in 2003 is technically history, so I'm reccing Generation Kill.

I saw an interview with Derrick Jacobi several years ago, When the interviewer asked him about his role in I Claudius, he began to stutter. Also, Patrick Stewart appears as Sejanius, but nobody today realizes its him because he has hair! I agree, its one of the top TV dramas.

How does this compare to the book? I've only read the book and it's sequel......

I haven't read the book but I plan to, it was really wonderful, no exaggeration, I'm going to look into more of these old BBC historical dramas.

Yes, doesn't match up to I, Claudius as a whole but still very entertaining.

Better and more realistic, and not as theatrical as, than I, Claudius, and set during the same period:
