I, Claudius (1976), part 1; with Liz Gloyn
Manage episode 387193446 series 3346529
We finally take on the elephant-in-the-room of Rome on television: I, Claudius (1976). Joined by super-special guest Liz Gloyn, we dig into the first half of the BBC adaptation of Robert Graves' novels in all its glory. With a winning combination of history, humor, intrigue, top-tier actors and bargain-bin old-age make-up, there's no shortage of material to dig through. But don't touch the figs!
You can follow more from Liz in her new book Tracking Classical Monsters, on her blog Classically Inclined, as well as on bluesky and Twitter @lizgloyn.
