I, Claudius: A Television Epic

00:00:38 (LIVIA) What are we going to do about Claudius?

00:03:25 And it was the concept of the evil that Siân found very difficult at first

00:06:39 And I shamelessly used him and turned to him whenever I was in any doubt

00:09:38 He helped me enormously with Augustus Caesar. He helped us all.

00:12:46 Oh, he's quite safe.

00:15:43 - Livy called you Claudius. - I'm Tiberius Claudius...

00:18:33 Not slept?

00:21:42 But I not only got the weight off, but put the muscle back on

00:24:37 Just a little...

00:28:12 Not you. Not you.

00:31:27 There was one scene with a long speech

00:34:33 relatively complex and unusual, maybe, if you know the other person very well.

00:37:38 Yes, darling. Draw it out. Let Zeus take the child and...

00:41:06 - You didn't know that, did you? - N-no.

00:44:07 My poor baby.

00:47:04 And they sat there in a line, these five, six really big actors

00:50:21 But we have to remember that she lived in a time

00:53:27 So there was always something about Claudius, about the whole thing.

00:56:44 And Herbie was... Well, a tremendous director. He directed it beautifully.

00:59:41 because we took it off sort of gradually with spirit remover.

01:03:17 She said, "What? This is the most wonderful speech." And we had quite an argument.

01:06:24 not only in England, but also abroad.

01:09:36 We knew it was good.

02:00:00 you'd have a diamond."
