Blood, orgies, nudity... Sneak peek at the Spartacus epic that is 'too rude for British TV'

Un altro articolo che parla del Regno Unito che rigetta Spartacus:

There's a lot to thank the ancients for... roads, the calendar, astronomy, our mathematical system, philosophy, town planning, plumbing, wine - and a plethora of raunchy films and TV series.

Ever since Caligula in 1980 - a movie so blue Oscar-winner Helen Mirren refuses to talk about it - producers have seized on the chance to rewrite history with as much blood, gore and sex as they can cram in.

Gladiator and Troy maintained the tradition but it was the TV series Rome in 2005-07 which used BC debauchery most flagrantly to sell millions of box sets for HBO.

Ciaran Hinds played Caesar, Polly Walker an unforgettable Atia of the Junii and there was more naked flesh on show than a Spencer Tunick photograph.

Now even that seems to have been surpassed by a new sword-and-sandals epic, Spartacus, which is so rude campaigners are trying to block it from British screens.
