Me too. But I’m still going with From the Earth to the Moon.
But speaking of the '70s, I have a line from Centennial stuck in my head now.
I’ll bet you didn’t see Caligula cutting open his sister and devouring their fetus, or the head of the Praetorian Guard plotting his assassination.
My favourite miniseries is from the BBC, 1974 and is called FALL of EAGLES.
You might not even have seen that in the UK. Wikipedia says,
As alluded to in the 2002 documentary I, Claudius: A Television Epic, the original version of episode 8, “Zeus, by Jove!”, included a closing shot after Caligula has cut the fetus from Drusilla’s womb, which was considered very shocking. It was therefore re-edited several times, even on the day of its premiere, by order of Bill Slater, then head of Serials Department. After initial broadcast and a rerun two days later, the scene was edited again, so that the episode is now “somewhat attenuated”. The “slightly nastier version” of the episode’s closing (a scene that used “makeup on her belly”) was allegedly shown twice in 1976, but is now lost since the BBC no longer has a copy of it. Pulman noted that the original script for the episode ended with “a long shot showing the butchered woman hanging on a chariot”.
