(1976)

Synopsis
"What groans beneath the Punic Curse and strangles in the strings of purse, before she mends must sicken worse. Ten years, fifty days and three, Clau-Clau-Claudius shall given be a gift that all desire but he. But when he's dumb, and no more here, nineteen hundred year or near, Clau-Clau-Claudius shall speak clear." The Sybil's prophecy to Claudius is fulfilled as the Emperor recounts the strange tale of his life, his family, and the end of the Republic.

Fantastic series, justly celebrated. The standout is surely John Hurt, who included among his many other roles that of Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant and An Englishman in New York.
