Earlier this week following the tv dvds meme [livejournal.com profile] esmerelda_t wondered if there was anyone else around here besides the pair of us who owned all three complete series of I Claudius, Hornblower and Battlestar Galactica. I suspect it may be a small and exclusive club! ;)

However she did remind me that as a result of following odd links on imdb.com in a strange quirk of fandom randomness I discovered the following...


The little chap on the left, looking rightly uncomfortable in the presence of the frankly terrifying Livia, is Lucius, adoptive son of Augustus, as played by a certain Russell Lewis.

Lucius, Livia, Gaius


Russell Lewis grew up to become the script writer of The Even Chance and therefore presumably had a hand in creating a certain Mr Midshipman Archie Kennedy.

Archie Kennedy


Who of course grew up to become...

Lee Adama


Not many people know that! And probably even fewer care ;)

OMG, I think I have to get I, Claudius. Gaius and Lucius are beyond cute! I'm quite taken with those two. Poor boys - being related to Augustus never did anyone any good, in the end...

Seriously, I can't recommend I Claudius highly enough, it's stunning. The cast is brilliant but Sian Phillips as Livia and Derek Jacobi as Claudius really stand out.

Sadly little Gaius and Lucius don't make if beyond the end of the second episode. Livia has them bumped off to make way for Tiberius.

You know I've just realised, I met Jamie Bamber at a BSG con, therefore by six degrees of seperation, I'm connected to Livia, awesome!

Ok, thats just a little bit scary.....

So ummm.... not that I'm remotely interested or anything, but what's he like? *tries and fails to feign disinterest* Tell all or I'll take the Maltesers back again!
