I might have to watch more of that to see if I can get into it.

Thanks for the company - will continue to join in when I can on Tuesdays, but as for Thursdays, probably won't again until October!

Beware the cheetahs.

In terms of what's next... Someone said 'I Clav-Divs' (I, Claudius) is on Internet Archive. Could watch half, break for The Rutles, then watch the other half.

Just an idea.


I Claudius would be fun. We used to watch it at school.

All 12 episodes of I,C would take us most of the summer anyway.

Great - didn't need my Stifficut in Negotiation Skills after all.

Great! I'll spend the week with my Observer's Guide to the Julio-Claudians, so that I can work out who's who . . .

Have you ever seen 'The Rutles' Beatles parody? Classic!

Actually, I won't make it next week, but I'll see you the week after.

Actually yes, that I have seen - I didn't realize it wasn't just a standalone thing.

Shall I do the honours, M'Liv, so you can have a rest and shout at me when I forget to do the post.

You'd be better off with Tacitus etc. Go for the primary sources.

See my post (#169) 20th Feb this year.

Right! That was all rather congenial! Thanks, gang! 19th Nervous Breakdown avoided! Nighty night, each and all!

I only have some of the relevant parts of Tacitus in the original, I'm afraid.
