message: Why is "div" linked in the "In popular culture" section? It links to a disambig page, so it's not at all clear which meaning is meant. Is this a British expression? — Loadmaster 15:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, I have the whole collection and there's only twelve episodes.  (Family Affair is actually Waiting in the Wings).  Puzzled by the 13-episode listing here, I went to BBC at this site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/cinema/features/iclaudius.shtml and behold!  Only 12 episodes.  Just a heads up.  124.86.79.47 (talk) 11:40, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are, and always have been, 13 episodes. The original BBC airing in 1976 had episodes 1 and 2 being shown together on the same evening. This showing had seperate opening and closing credits for both episodes. Later airings varied as to whether they were shown over 12 or 13 weeks. They also varied whether they combined the first two episodes or spliced later ones together. Some of these also eliminated the opening and closing credits between the two that were put together, thus, creating the illusion that there are 12 parts. This BBC four airing obviously did the same thing but as it only lists the last four airings there is no way to know which two earlier episodes were put together. The easiest way to tell which two were put together is to time your episodes. The 13 were 50-53 minutes long. If you have an episode that is 100 minutes long then you have two spliced together. All VHS and DVD boxed sets have always been in the 13 episode format. Please look at the external links provided. Four of them list a 13 episode series and the fifth one lists one episode at 100 minutes and 12 at 50 minutes which is explained above. MarnetteD | Talk 15:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 13, or 12 Episodes??

message: I've reformatted the episode list/summary with the  template (and temporarily put them on /Episode list. Since there are only 13 episodes, I'm not sure if we should put them on, say, List of I, Claudius episodes or leave them here on this page. Any thoughts?

message: The table created for the cast is very difficult to visually engage in isn't it? Shouldn't it be redone to facilitate human usage? Stevenmitchell (talk) 11:22, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: "human usage", good one, my experience, too. At least, if it is a list "in order of appearance" it should say so. Although it wouldn't actually help human usage. For that the vast list probably should have to be devided in main characters, that recur in most eps, then down to guest appearances. Or family trees? Timeline? An A-Z not by cast, but by the figures (after a head with Claudius and maybe few more) MenkinAlRire 23:51, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

message: I've removed a mention of the Guardian's review saying "There should be a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Actors", because the Guardian didn't say that. While it can be found in several sources, they all seem to stem from an inaccurate recollection by director Howard Wise (long before the Guardian's archive was available online) - see this Dirty Feed article.
