Hooray - the new season of Merlin has started. I love all the myth and the magic.smile

I second that anno. Good old Bernard (can't beat him) smile

This Merlin was a thing apart. Although the legend did sneak in a little bit at the end. grin

Googled him. Bloomin nice lifestyle he has envy. I know someone that used to work as an extra on Sharpes Rifles. Not relevant at all but just thought I'd slip it in.

I've never read the Sharpe novels! Don't know why. I like his historical English stuff.

I didn't really like the Bernard Cornwell Arthur ones (I'm more for The Once and Future King or the Crystal Cave and Hollow Hills version). I love Sharpe and the Anglo Saxon Cornwell novels though. The Anglo Saxon ones have a complete homicidal idiot as the hero but he's very sympathetic somehow
and I've learned a lot about the history.

jeni Thu 10-Jan-13 11:52:41

Nor me! It's unhealthy, a woman of your age obsessing about a man dressed in silver painted dish cloth!

j07 Thu 10-Jan-13 11:54:39

He doesn't wear the silver stuff. (thumbs nose)

j07 Thu 10-Jan-13 11:55:45

Look!

j07 Thu 10-Jan-13 11:56:42

Tell me you wouldn't obsess about that!

j07 Thu 10-Jan-13 11:59:34

Actually he's the one who's quite obsessable

Really interesting programme called The Making of King Arthur on BBC4 last night [well, actually early this morning]. It's a repeat but it's on iplayer for a few more days.

j07 Thu 10-Jan-13 15:15:01

Yes crimson. DD texted me this morning about that one. Must catch it on i player. And In Our Time on radio 4 this morning, with Melvyn Bragg, was about the history of the legend. It's seems to be in fashion at the moment. smile

Aargh! Spit, spit, spit! It's all your fault Jo5 I found myself looking at all those celebrity quiz shows and being asked to vote for one. The horror!

j07 Thu 10-Jan-13 16:54:02

You can skip categories. You only need to vote for the Merlin prog and for Colin. smile

j07 Thu 10-Jan-13 16:54:35

Go on. You know you want to. wheedle wheedle

jeni Thu 10-Jan-13 17:02:54
