Germanicus has joined Tiberius in the Germanian campaign, to avenge the Roman legion slaughtered at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Claudius remains at home, researching his family history and despised for his weakness - he faints at the gladiatorial games. In the library Pollio the historian advises him to accentuate his deficiencies. That way he will not be seen as a threat in the murderous world about him and has a greater chance of survival. Augustus names Postumus as his successor but Livia aims to thwart him. She gets Livilla to invite him to her room and then claim that he tried to rape her. Postumus is banished but manages to briefly escape before recapture and tells Claudius that he believes Livia killed Marcellus, Agrippa, Lucius and Gaius and that Claudius should inform Germannicus. He too advises the young man to play on his weaknesses. Some time later Claudius is again an object of scorn as he is married to the considerably taller Urgulanilla.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Derek Jacobi","code":"nm0001394","characters":"Claudius"},{"name":"Si\u00e2n Phillips","code":"nm0680795","characters":"Livia"},{"name":"Brian Blessed","code":"nm0000306","characters":"Augustus"},{"name":"George Baker","code":"nm0048468","characters":"Tiberius"},{"name":"Margaret Tyzack","code":"nm0879239","characters":"Antonia"},{"name":"Patricia Quinn","code":"nm0703946","characters":"Livilla"},{"name":"David Robb","code":"nm0730191","characters":"Germanicus"},{"name":"Fiona Walker","code":"nm0907731","characters":"Agrippina"},{"name":"John Castle","code":"nm0145284","characters":"Postumus"},{"name":"Norman Shelley","code":"nm0791219","characters":"Horace"},{"name":"James Faulkner","code":"nm0269077","characters":"Herod Agrippa"},{"name":"Kevin McNally","code":"nm0573618","characters":"Castor"},{"name":"Donald Eccles","code":"nm0248324","characters":"Pollio"},{"name":"Denis Carey","code":"nm0136938","characters":"Livy"},{"name":"John Truscott","code":"nm0874405","characters":"Librarian"},{"name":"Alan Thompson","code":"nm0859826","characters":"Praxis"},{"name":"Guy Slater","code":"nm0805374","characters":"Courier"},{"name":"Vivien Clifford","code":"nm0166689","characters":"Postumus\u0027 Wife"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"roman deity"},{"text":"livia"},{"text":"library"},{"text":"game"},{"text":"germany"}],"production":[{"id":"co0043107","text":"British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[]}
