I, Claudius (BBC, 1976) Review
The production budget was approximately three hundred thousand pounds, which was modest even by 1976 BBC standards. Herbert Wise directed all twelve episodes.
Actor: Sian Phillips
Siân Phillips played Livia in I Claudius, a poisoner of complete calm across the entire series, and appeared in Dune as the Reverend Mother. She is Welsh, won two BAFTAs, and was married to Peter O’Toole.
