Just found this yesterday. saw it on tv 100 years ago - and it set a standard for me that hardly ever was matched thereafter. 1000 thanks for uploading it.
Siân Phillips as Livia, brilliant performance So Evil, So Devious, Love Her, she's such a Powerful Actress, who delivers brilliant everytime. Adore her in this, she's so brilliant in this especially when she says "you have a mighty high opinion of yourself haven't you, do you imagine I would stoop to buy you off when I could swot you like a fly if I wanted too" Classic evil lady
you're an absolute sweetheart for doing this-thank you so much-peace&love to you in the east

"That child should have been exposed at birth'
"We don't do that sort of thing anymore"
2000 years later India does. It has aborted or "exposed" 50 000 000 little girls.
It continues to do so. Somewhere in India, as you read this, girl babies are being systematically starved to death.

My second favorite BBC production. First is 1978's Pride and Prejudice. Are people saying there's to be another "I, Claudius"? Is that true?
