What the hell is I, Claudius?
Only the best miniseries ever! Okay, so technically it was a novel by Robert Graves, and the BBC adapted it and its sequel, Claudius the God, into a miniseries.
Ok, what's it about, fangirl?
Back before the Sopranos and the Godfather series redefined what it meant to be a family, there was a little civilization called the Roman Empire. I, Claudius is the story of the first 70 years or so of the empire, as told by someone who was there but stayed on the sidelines. It's an historical soap opera, filled with murders, adultery, betrayal, you know, all the cool stuff that constitutes "family." And watching it all is this unassuming character who doesn't want to get pulled into the madness.
What was your result?
I'm Clau-clau-claudius. C-c-can't you t-t-t-tell?
Is I, Claudius easily available on video or DVD?
Yes! Check your favorite media store. Since it's a somewhat famous adaptation of a somewhat famous novel and has been shown on PBS' Masterpiece Theater, you can also probably find it in your local library.
Where can I get more information on I, Claudius?
I was going to make a summary page with tons of info on characters and plot, but someone beat me to it. Go there; it's awesome.
You're crazy.
That's not a question...Wait, I'm crazy? I'm not the one who created an I, Claudius Drinking Game!
Ok, I did do a story...
Why did you make this quiz?
I love the miniseries, as you can probably tell. It's got the right mix of humor, drama, horror, and pathos. It's the series that made me a major fan of Sir Derek Jacobi. He's remarkable as the title character. I first saw I, Claudius when I was 13 years old. So instead of swooning over the latest boy band, I was in deep crush with Claudius.
Stop looking at me like that...
It doesn't work!
Um...what did we say about questions? Okay, okay... I honestly don't know what's wrong. I did not create the quiz script so I have no idea how to fix it. Please make sure you have a browser that supports Javascript. I've tested this on the Mac versions of Netscape 4.7, Internet Explorer 5.1, and Netscape 7, and they all work fine. If you've got an up-to-date browser and the quiz still doesn't work, I honestly don't know what to do. Perhaps clearing out your browser cache and reloading the page might help... Sorry if this doesn't sound helpful. >_<
So oooooon with the quiz!
