I, Claudius - Remastered Edition DVD

 One of the best ever
I Claudius is gripping and sophisticated, one of the best dramatic series ever produced. Based on the wonderful book of the same name by the noted British author, historian and classical scholar Robert Graves, the series tells the story of Claudius, the Roman who avoided assassination by feigning half-wittedness and eventually became emperor. In telling his story, the drama tells the history of the early Roman emperors from Augustus through Caligula, with all its intrigue, plotting, and tragedy. A "don't miss" television event that is as fresh and engaging today as when it was first produced.

 Gripping, fascinating - you don't want it to end!
I saw this on PBS in the early 90s and now again in 2009. I re-watched several episodes as it went just because it was so entertaining. The actors make these characters come alive so believably you think it's really happening; the costuming, sets and makeup are first rate. It doesn't look like they filmed it, but used video tape so it has the visual quality of a soap opera, but you forget all about that as you are caught up in the intrigue. You will laugh, cry, shudder and cheer, I Claudius is a triumph, you will love Clau-Clau-Clau-Clau-Claudis !!!
