SFX reports that the BBC will be filming an upcoming 13 part series based on the life of Merlin, as a young wizard, and his “clashes” with a young Arthur. Among the cast in this series is Anthony Stewart head who will portray the father of King Arthur, Uther Pendragon, and Richard Wilson as Gauis. I thnnk it’ll be interesting if we can finally see a well-done version of the King Arthur myth, and there have been so few versions that focus Merlin himself. I can’t wait!

I really hope this is better than the absolutely appalling Robin Hood series, even my children and their friends were disgusted that they could be allowed to trash such a famous and well loved hero. There was a flower in this pot of manure though and that was the actor Richard Armitage, he deserves so much better than this load of rubbish.Please don’t make another series.
