Merlin - Excalibur (Preview)



Saturday 15th November, 7.20pm, BBC One

Uther’s past comes back to haunt him when a mysterious Black Knight rides into Camelot. The visitor quickly makes his presence felt, throwing down his gauntlet and challenging the Knights of Camelot to mortal combat.

As the formidable fighter picks off his opponents one by one, it becomes clear he cannot be beaten; is it just his superior skill, or is there something more sinister behind his invincibility? With Arthur the next opponent set to face this deadly foe, will Uther overcome his pride and do the right thing, or is the truth too difficult to face?

I must admit I'm rather enjoying Merlin. Even though it's taking as many liberties with the legend as the Beeb's Robin Hood did they seem less offensive. Greatly enjoying Katie McGrath as Morgana too - a consolation for the loss of Marion in RH!

I reckon the Beeb just make it up as they go along but "Merlin" is fun.

Not sure about Morgana. I've been trying to like her but it was the prospect of Michelle Ryan's brief appearances which drew me to the series, initially.

Yes I know what you mean. If only her appearances were in briefs...

TimeWarden said...

Then they'd offer her an extended contract!
