One of the most well-deserved awards ever given for any acting performance.
His acceptance speech is of a truly noble and civilised quality; with a modest, natural eloquence that is magnificent.
Well deserved honor for a fine actor giving a brilliant portrayal. In fact, the series' entire ensemble gave terrific performances which merit recognition. Among these: Sian Phillips as Livia, Brian Blessed as Augustus, George Baker as Tiberius, John Hurt as Caligula. Also the many supporting players all contributed their best to an excellent series.
Wonderful and talented actor and lovely guy. I had a HUGE crush on him after seeing I, Claudius.
Jessie Lansdel Who didn't? I had a crush and still have...even if I saw the series 30 years later! ;)
The way he is reliving the performance at the very end, says a lot. What a great actor, and what an achievement of artistic idea, for as all to enjoy!
That was a great speech...so humble. It was cute at the end after they played the clip of him in Claudius, he was bashful & bowed his head. What a sweetie! :)
A stunning series crammed with brilliant performances, none exceeding Derek Jacobi's mesmerising portrayal of the eponymous character.
Derek Jacobi is simply the greatest actor ever-and a brilliant person at making speeches.
Typical, sublime Sir Derek, humble and awesome at the same time.
A wonderful find Rosa, and a bit melancholy too...For some people time should pass more slowly.
To stand out so brilliantly in such a fantastic cast makes his performance exceptional and to this day I have yet to see anything comparable.
Sooooo Sweet! His expression at the end was so endearing!!!! What a great man and extremely good looking now and then! Thanks for posting Rosa!
This is the most well polished, humble, lovely acceptance speech. He's soooo cute!
very humble and a class act
He's adorable...shy and humble...
An insightful watch! I could listen to Jacobi talk all day anyway, thanks for this, much appreciated!
what a lovely voice he has!
His commotion at the end, after they showed the clip of the series, was wonderful. Marvelous person!
He was brilliant as Claudius.
He' s so humble and gorgeous!
The reference to stammerers is about Brad Dourif, who win the best supporting actor BAFTA for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
Oh my GOD......that's Princess Anne giving out the award!! :-O
Before the BAFTAs went all Hollywood.
What a speech!
Classiest acceptance speech I've ever heard
From a time when everyone still was not crazy, today, some decades later all there have probably gone insane
Thanks for posting.
25 years later, he won the Emmy award for Outstanding guest actor in a comedy series for playing Jackson Hedley in Frasier.
@ravaldo11 I agree completely. What a class act! I loved I Claudius, and Sir Derek has been one of my favorites ever since.
This is wonderful! He looks so cute. I like his shirt, I have a similar one. ;) And his voice, when he speaks... I'm melting.
Thank you so much for posting this! :)
What a nice boy
To judge from the last seconds of this video, Derek seems to be a very humble and sweet person. Watch his reaction when the camera hits him again - total confusion!
Back when awards ceremonies were worth watching
Very well said!
Briliant!
He could read a grocery list and make it sound like a sonnet.
You're welcome! Thanks for your kind comments!
He's really cute and his voice's always a thrill to me...and he's clever too...I love clever men!
DJ was also the best Hamlet ever.
Love that 1970's tuxedo! At least it doesn't have bell bottoms.
Wow, the makeup people should have got an award as well - I wouldn't have recognized him as Claudius
Brilliant speech especially "night of the stammerers."
The "night of the stammerers" quip was a reference to the fact that Brad Dourif had won the BAFTA for best supporting (film) actor for the stammerer Billy in Over Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
@Escul1960
That, and Robert Donat's Academy Award for "Goodbye Mr. Chips."

No it's Annette Crosbie. You remember her, she played Victor Meldrew's wife.
What a ham!
Actually, "I Claudius" was a twelve part series.
Well, I guess we all do. ;)
Not a bad “performance” from Annette Crosbie! 😉
Back when awards shows were a joy to watch. Today, it's all about the most obnoxious virtue signaling, activism for profoundly sickening and out of touch causes, or a forum for rewarding failures who tick the right ideological check list
I'm Italian, but glad to know you're not a bunch of rubes ^^ ...these days I feel like we are a bunch of idiots, here in Italy and Europe...but that's all another story :))
At any stage in history could anyone have thought that those ruffles spilling out of his tuxedo collar and cuffs were a good look?
Surely the 70s were the decade that Time forgot.
Sorry Derek. I've had a few.

what an omen... "666 views".
All my idols are so old, like 40-50 years older than me.. In a way that really sucks, but in another that's what makes them my idols, isn't it. Bittersweet.
Nowadays, gay people would thank their husbands.
When I was 12/13 my idol were Cary Grant & Sean Connery, so, don't worry, it's a common desease ^^
who was the presenter?
I think it's Annette Crosbie. If you watch the series Edward VII here on UA-cam she is excellent as Queen Victoria. (I think she won the BAFTA for that herself?) There was also a movie musical version of Cinderella written by the Sherman Brothers (who did the music for Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) called "The Slipper and The Rose" starring Richard Chamberlain in which she was fabulous as the Fairy Godmother. She also had a small part in Calendar Girls many years later. She always has the most crisp, clean diction.
@anonUK I know that he's gay, but that doesn't change a bit my respect and admiration.
@rosapurpurea
It's a pity for you he's of the homosexual fraternity.
