I, Claudius (TV Miniseries 1976)
For Jules the BBC/PBS miniseries that brings Robert Graves’ I,
Claudius to life was a Slow Burn.
The series follows the Emperor Claudius as he looks back on his
life amongst the Roman royals and how he maneuvered their
machinations.
Derek Jacobi plays the bumbling (put on?) Claudius in a story
that plays like a real life Game of Thrones.
Who’s that guy with all that hair?
You can watch I, Claudius on Hulu or buy it on iTunes and Amazon. You can purchase the book by Robert
Graves on Amazon.
