Oh yes....Brian Blessed can act, now why didn't he do that in Cygnus Alpha.
Because they didn't made him shave off his beard? Might there be a mysterious connection between that and overacting, as opposed to his good and beardless performance as Augustus?
Livia (as has been suggested) as
a cleverer version of Servalan. Or Servalan as Sejanus in drag ?
Either fits. I can just see Servalan in the scene where Sejanus, all joviality, intimidates Claudius into marrying his sister. Odd thought: Patrick Stewart as a male (as had been originally planned? Servalan on B7?
Jarriere as Claudius anyone ?
Nah. Wrong group, but to me, Vila is the obvious Claudius choice.
Bayban the Butcher as Caligula? Of course Krantor & Toise would at least fit Caligula's court.
Travis as Tiberius?
