Merlin on BBC1 (SPOILERS)

[Bob The Skutter]

Cool! I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up!

Here's a link to the website, doesn't really give any information though.

Has there been any word on whether the CBC will be picking this one up?

EDIT: Never mind...

The distributor, FremantleMedia Enterprises, also sold broadcast rights to CTV in Canada and Network Ten in Australia.

I'd have been surprised if there wasn't but:

Merlin producer Johnny Capps has claimed that the BBC has made "very positive noises" about the show returning for a second season.

The Saturday night fantasy drama, which takes place during the wizard's formative years, has posted respectable ratings for its opening ten episodes, with last Saturday's instalment attracting 6.42 million viewers.

Capps told Teletext: "Nothing has been agreed yet but the BBC are making very positive noises. We want to do more and we believe viewers want to see more."

 

[captcalhoun]

yes we do!

(well, i do)

especially Morgana and Niumeh...

 

[wamdue]

yes at this point in the shows run, I am fully expecting a 2nd series

I actually started watching this as part of my fluff Saturday viewing (where I watch shows that really don't treat their situations and environment as a true drama should), and it has a bit of charm and I do love the banter between Arthur and Merlin and Morgana and Arthur. But I do wish to see it keep those elements but have a bit more drama to it.

I hope there's a second series- the show does walk the line between good and crap sometimes, but like all good shows it works because it's well cast. As stated the interplay between Merlin and Arthur especially works brilliantly.

As an aside I love the CIN bit with Anthony Stewart Head "Give money to Pudsey, or I'll chop your head off."
