Can we talk about how incredible his performance was in this? I still smile when I think of him saying people are despicable ... the irony!
shareI loved his relationship with his uncle most, funniest performance by far, he reminds me of an evil Toad of Toad Hall!
I’d love to have seen more of Hurt’s Caligula, a spin-off told from his pov could have been fun!
He stole the show!!!

shareEverything about it was great. Meaning "I Claudius". It's my all time favorite mini-series.
shareThere’s a scene right after Caligula has Claudius thrown into the river where Caligula asks him if he thinks he’s mad, he add “be honest” when he asks Claudius. Supposedly this scene cracked the two actors up so much they had difficulty shooting it. You can even see Jacobi stifling a laugh as he tells Caligula he sets the model of sanity for the world.
Great stuff!
