I, Claudius was on the other weekend, I was able to get it out of my mind that Derek Jacobi was gay.

Even after all of Jacobi's lisping and stammering???

by the way, Patrick Stewart (Picard) is Serjanus in that series.

I, Claudius was on the other weekend

Ah, 'I, Claudius'. My favorite moments were those involving John Hurt's Caligula. The scene where he summons Claudius and two Senators in the middle of the night - to their deaths, they think, before Caligula leaps out in female costume and dances for the three confused, terrified men. Or the scene in Claudius' dotage when Caligula's ghost appears to tell him that to his surprise he hadn't become a god after death - "You could have knocked me over with a feather!". Hilarious.

Derek Jacobi is gay ? But he’s so virile, so macho...
