Wissenswertes
As this was broadcast several months after the rest of the seventh season, it was rumored that the BBC were worried about the violence in the play and that disagreements had arisen about censorship. This was inaccurate however, with the delay caused by a BBC strike in 1984. The episode had been booked into the studio in February and March 1984, but the strike meant it could not shoot. When the strike ended, the studio could not be used as it was being used by another production, and then when the studio became available, the RSC was using Trevor Peacock. Thus filming did not take place until February 1985, a year later than planned.

Patzer
Young Lucius wears glasses throughout the film but these were not invented until the Middle Ages. However, the film is not set in any specific time period. There are indications of an ancient Roman setting, but also of an Elizabethan setting. This was purposely done by the filmmakers, so Lucius wearing glasses is not necessarily an anachronism.

Lucius Andronicus

There is so much good to say that has already been said, so I will focus on the one negative -- the obsession with Paul Davies Prowles, whom I'm convinced was a producer's son. According to Wikipedia: (Jane Howell wanted to focus on him as if to ask the question "What are we doing to the children?), which does not come across at all. Paul Davies Prowles -- who appears to be between the ages of 14 and 19 and delivers his lines with the look of a deer in the headlights -- shows up wearing modern glasses in a play that is set sometime before 1000 AD. This is a character Titus praises for having young eyesight. A reminder this play is titled Titus Andronicus. It would be like focusing on Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet.
