I, Claudius (UK) ?
Has anybody seen the UK release of "I, Claudius"? In particular, I am interested to know how it compares to the Image US release from a couple of years ago.

I've seen both and in my opinion there is no difference in video quality.
Unfortunately.
I was expecting the PAL version to be better, but it must be the limitation of the source material.
Extras are a bit different on each version.
R2 has a 70 minute documentary, The Epic that never was" (AS does R1)
I Claudius a Television Epic, featuring exclusive interviews with the director (not on R1, I think, I've sold it so can't do a direct comparison)
Alternative Scenes

Also the R2 packaging is pretty crappy IMO
5 single sided dual layer DVDs each in a separate cardboard sleeve enclosed in a cardboard box.
The R1 has 3 double sided dual layer DVDs in a triple keep case.

Fellow Romans,
I've seen both - and there is a **vast** difference in picture quality! Even my wife imnediately noticed!
The Region 2 is far superior!!
Surprisingly, I can't find a review(!) but all the talk on various message boards on its original release was that it put a short sword into the groin of the R1 equivalent.
Extras:
'The Epic That Never Was' documentary (70 mins).
'I Claudius A Television Epic' featuring interviews with cast and director.
Alternative scenes.
Family tree.
Subtitles: English for the hearing impaired
Yours Empirically,
Lik.
