There's a new series starts on Saturday BBC1 around 7-25pm after Strictly, from what I've seen looks quite interesting, its a 13 episode series, me thinks its worth a look

You obviously plan to watch the shortened version, I and several others will no doubt be watching the unabridged full blown 13 episodes of Merlin.

BBC - Merlin - Chapters
Just watched the video trailer - I will watch this too - looks like Harry Potter for grown ups

The special effects look good, i think we`ll be giving it a whirl......

Well the first episode was very good, looks like it will be a good series

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the start of the relationship between Arthur and Merlin. They bounce off each other nicely. The Dragon also looks convincing.

I love Merlin, very clever .. even though dialogue brought into the modern idiom.... 'don't' matter does it .. LOL.

Am trying to watch a Harry Potter again tonight, but fear will have to turn it off .. am I the only person on planet Earth that finds Harry Potter totally wearisome ?

I've also been enjoying this series and great that they repeat it on a Sunday if I am out earlier Sat night

I'm sorry i've missed this, it sounds like a good series but seems pointless trying to catch up now.

Don't think so Buttonsmum, all different stories, albeit with underlying ongoing over theme. Try it next week; can catch up on Iplayer too for this weeks.

I have been disappointed with this Merlin series.
The 2nd episode was rather repetative battles between knights
I turned off the 3rd episode when that young lass who fancies Merlin used the word 'sandwich' - rather naive script - sandwiches were invented by the Earl of Sandwich quite a while later.
I think it is aimed at an early teen audience - hence it's early screening.
The scriptwriter's knowledge of magic practices is also very limited.
