BBC buys hot jock drama

BBC Three has acquired the UK rights to Greek, the ABC Family original series which focuses on US college life and the social minefield that is the Greek system of fraternities and sororities.

It's got hot gay jocks in it too. First episode sees hockey player Calvin (above) sneaking out of a frat house having just had sex with cutie pledge Heath (below).

It seems their lust develops into something more as the season unfolds.

Yes, gay inter-racial relationships from ABC's family division.

The Beeb press release explains:

20 one-hour episodes, licensed to the BBC by Disney-ABC International Television, tell the story of Rusty (Jacob Zachar) who is determined to make his college experience more exciting than his high school years, which he spent with his head buried in the books.

His answer: no more geek, he's going Greek. But he faces one small obstacle… his sister... Casey (Spencer Grammer), already ensconced as a college siren and not too keen on having her younger brother invade her world, is a high achiever and already at the top of her game.

The last thing she needs is her nerdy younger brother coming in and messing it all up.

Danny Cohen, Controller, BBC Three, said: "I'm delighted to have Greek as part of our BBC Three drama offering.

"It brings a very different kind of flavour to the channel, and is a further enrichment of the drama plans we're developing for the channel, including the pilots announced last month."

Jim Brehm, Senior Vice President, Sales, Disney-ABC International Television EMEA, added: "Greek has created a buzz in the international TV market right from launch, and we're looking forward to working with BBC Three to launch the series to the UK."
