agree......Who could forget, (newly proclaimed, by the Palace Guards :) Claudius speech before the senate.....great stuff. 
Oh yes. I saw it a couple of times, and read the book(s).
If it's still available, I would certainly recommend it.
The production values were kind of "soap opera-ish", but the acting was outstanding. You even get to see Patrick Stewart with hair as Lucius Sejanus.
I don't know whether History was kind to Claudius, but Robert Graves certainly was.

Our favorite was John Hurt as Caligula. “Typical!”
Great, great acting there all across the board. Not a weak performance in the bunch.
