Foxtel's History Channel is going to be showing a doco called The Real Spartacus for those interested in the legend of the Thracian soldier. This is somewhat an oldish doco (2001) but well worth a look while we are waiting for S:GotA to arrive.

9:30 pm to 10:30 pm Tuesday 5 October 2010 History Channel / Foxtel

We take a visually spectacular journey to expose the true story of the soldier, robber, slave and gladiator who led the most memorable slave uprising of the Roman Republic
