Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Tuesdays 10pm on BRAVO
Spartacus: Blood and Sand continues at 10pm on Tuesday only on Bravo. Not for the faint-hearted, the controversial Spartacus: Blood and Sand brings to life the bloody world of gladiators as the Roman Republic’s most brutal fighters clash in the ultimate arena, and depicts one of history’s most violent eras.
Betrayed by the Romans, forced into slavery and reborn as a gladiator, Spartacus (played by rugged UK-born actor Andy Whitfield) is a rebellious soldier in the Roman Auxiliary who is taken prisoner and torn away from the woman he loves. Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) is cast as Lucretia, who along with her husband Batiatus played by British actor John Hannah (The Mummy, Rebus, Four Weddings and a Funeral), own the slave Spartacus and the gladiator camp. The former soldier is then condemned to the ways of the arena fighter – under the brutal hand of trainer Doctore, played by Peter Mensah (300, Avatar) – where blood and death are primetime entertainment, and treachery, corruption and sexual allure will test him to the limit.
To celebrate the launch of the show Bravo have also created Sparta-Cuss – the ultimate insult generator! Lay down some obscene insults. Become a Gladiator and throw down the gauntlet to your most sworn enemies. Strictly 18+. http://www.sparta-cuss.com/
