I note that Scottish actor, John Hannah is in this here new Spartacus show on cable tv. I remember him very well from the US tv series "MD's", where he played Doctor Dalgety...who everyone assumed was Italian because of the character's last name (Dalgety/Dalgetti...). He was very good in that prematurely cancelled series and I've seen him in a few of the UK imports that show up on PBS as well.

Just a heads up on a pretty good actor who's on a series that's getting mixed reviews.

Beloved Kiwi Amazon Goddess, Lucy Lawless is in Spartacus as well...if I'm getting this correctly, she plays the wife of Mr. Hannah's character and has more than a professional interest in Spartacus and the other gladiators.

Best
