TV’s ‘most sexually explicit series’ set for UK screening

London: A TV show depicting extreme sexuality, violence and profanity is set to hit UK screens this year.

Racy historical drama, Spartacus: Blood and Sand, evoked strong criticism in the US with its season featuring full-frontal nudity, reports the Sun. The series tells the story of Spartacus, a Roman gladiator, who later became the leader of a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic. Spartacus, played by Andy Whitfield, is bought by ruthless Batiatus, portrayed by Scottish actor John Hannah and his wife Lucretia (Lucy Lawless). ANI
