You really wil have to buy the DVD, JK! It includes a documentary on the making of the series, with all sorts of interesting stuff included.
It was, apparently, a continuous take. Herbert Wise explained to BB that the camera was going to do a gradual, deep close-up on him while he died and Blessed certainly came up with the goods. You can actually 'see' the life go out of him at one point.
Incredible stuff.

manage to keep that still for the several minutes of closeup whilst Evil Livia rambled on or did they freeze frame him and dub her over?
It was a remarkably moving and effective sequence.
Someone please tell me how they did it!
