Anyone watch this?

I think its quite funny that they have got Lancelot dead and buried already. He was only a minor character in the King Arthur legend, wasn't he?! hmm

I love it, but it could be titled anything really! It hardly bears any relation to the legend, but I think the actor playing Arthur is the reason I'm watching!! blush

And heres me thinking its a children's prog!

They are putting this series on later because it's NOT a children's programme. wink grin

I think they are both dishy.

Shame old Uther carked it.

Lack of attention to the legend notwithstanding, I really love this programme. Light the fire, pour a glass of wine, tune in to Strictly Come Dancing then, in complete contrast, Merlin - et voila, summer's passing isn't so bad after all! I think the common theme is "escapism"...
