Radio plays and a vid rec

[selenak]

Bless the BBC: not only does it create good radio programms,it also puts them online for seven days after the broadcast so that foreigners like myself can listen.

Oh, thank you for giving the heads-up on both of these radio programmes! I especially enjoy the Julio-Claudians, so this is quite a treat. The first episode stars David Troughton! *squee*

I'm listening to it now...

I'm going to have to listen to this, just so that I can use my Caligula icon, aren't I? But I'd better listen to the one with Cicero first, as that's only up for another three days.

I'm listening to it myself right now...

I think I've heard it before, actually - I was wondering whether it was the one with Julia and Tullia behind the scenes, and it does seem to be. But I don't remember the Caligula play from your description; I must have missed it on the original broadcast.

[selenak]

I can't recall other fictions bothering to make Julia and Tullia into real characters, and that was a very welcome surprise. The one point where I cried "what?!?" was when Cato said he didn't have a daughter of his own, though, for what was Portia, chopped liver?

Thank you so much for the vid rec, it's incredible, and the sort of deeply layered meta vid that I love above all else! *goes to re-watch*
