''The Borgias'' is a British Television drama serial produced by the BBC in 1981 . A historical series, ''The Borgias'' was set in Italy during the 15th Century and told the tale of Rodrigo Borgia (played by Adolfo Celi ) - the future Pope Alexander VI - and his family, including his son Cesare ( Oliver Cotton ) and daughter Lucrezia ( Anne-Louise Lambert ). What was intended to be a gripping historical melodrama in the same vein as the previous BBC series, '' I, Claudius '', soon became an object of utter derision as the series was an outright critical failure.
