You don't have to all-caps just because of BRIAN BLESSED.
Also, it's been ages since I saw this, and all I really remember was that it had actual nudity on over-the-air TV (PBS).
Luis Diaz
is it a miniseries or something?
Sebastian Parker
Needed more John Hurt as Caligula.
Luis Anderson
agreed. it was his best performance ever.
Ryan Martin
From 1976, even. With the likes of Derek Jacobi, Sian Philips, John Hurt, Brian Blessed, pre-TNG Patrick Stewart, and pre-Raiders John Rhys-Davies.
Back when the BBC knew what it was fucking doing.
Hunter Reed
I'm sorry, I only all-capsed in my love, although BRIAN BLESSED also deserves the all-caps.
I'm eight episodes in and the only tits were in the first minutes of the first ep.
I'm glad people replied in any case.
John James
terrific, i'll track it down. thanks.

A great series. I used to borrow it from the library as a kid.
Xavier Nguyen
There wasn't really that much nudity by modern premium cable standards, but this aired on over-the-air TV. If it hadn't been PBS, it would have been edited for broadcast (it still would be, today), but in those days PBS was able to get away with more relaxed rules than the commercial networks. For kids in the '70s and '80s it was remarkable.
Anthony Phillips
Christ. OP here, I'm 29 and I was still somewhat surprised by titties in the opening scene.
Julian Walker
GET OUT
Brandon Hughes
stop. i read the book and i'm not from your island.
Colton Price
If you ever want to really be in awe of what PBS was able to get away with showing, watch the 1996 ITV adaptation of Moll Flanders (with pre-ER and very-pre-Doctor Who Alex Kingston in the title role). I was in my late teens when that was on Masterpiece Theatre, and it was shown unedited, despite earning an 18 certificate in the U.K.

What a fucking retard. He can't even talk.
Jose Walker
is c-c-claudius literally the tyrion of ancient rome
Jacob Hughes
it's a good show, and the ending is solid. the user who recommended it to me warned me about its age and low budget but i never really gave a shit. i treated the whole series like a play and enjoyed the entire thing
>It all seems so depressingly familiar
Sebastian James
Why do brainlets think that because something was made in the past that it's somehow inherently worse?
Camden Reed
I, Claudius is maximum kino so you're doing good, user. I'd recommend watching Shogun next for some more miniseries kino.

Unironically my favorite television theme song

Lucas Nguyen
All of I Claudius (Roman history) is literally GoT if normies didn't ruin it.
>Loveable loud fat king
>His wife is evil and murders everyone (including him), but loves her kid
>Caligula is Joffrey (or the mad king)
>Uncle Claudius is Tyrion
>Brother and Sister Fuck
>Everyone we like dies
>Serjanus is Littlefinger
Lucas Moore
i don't know, it's infuriating that the first question that's usually popped when someone's recommended something that wasn't released in [CURRENT YEAR] is "does it age well?"
Ian Bailey
i love that final scene does a different version with the cloth background or whatever burning up
Jose Jones

>ALL DAY LONG
wonderful show
Dylan Martin
GoT is LotR + I, Claudius
