The first episode of historical drama I, Claudius aired on 20 September 1976. The 12 part series was adapted by Jack Pullman from two novels by Robert Graves - I, Claudius and Claudius the God. The story of decadent imperial Roman life proved a critical and ratings success, and its mix of political intrigue, sex, and violence, helped turn Derek Jacobi into a star.
