Merlin
Merlin Merlin is a British fantasy-adventure television series developed by Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Julian Murphy and Johnny Capps. The series is based on the Arthurian legends of the mythical wizard Merlin and his relationship with Prince Arthur, but differs from traditional versions of the legend in many ways, especially the characters. After a successful first season, American broadcaster NBC began airing the programme on 21 June 2009, but after a decline in viewership, was moved to the cable network Syfy, where it began broadcast of the second season in April 2010. The second season began airing in September 2009 on BBC One. The concept for Merlin was influenced by the American show Smallville, about the early years of Superman. After many failed attempts to bring the programme to life, development of the current Merlin began in late 2006, with physical production beginning in March 2008. Series overview Merlin is a sorceror who arrives at the city of Camelot, after his mother arranges for him to stay with Gaius, the court physician. He discovers that the king, Uther Pendragon, has outlawed magic and has imprisoned the last great dragon deep under the city. The dragon informs Merlin that he has an important destiny to protect Uther's son, Arthur, who will bring forth a great Kingdom. When he meets Arthur for the first time he believes that he is arrogant and Arthur views Merlin as subservient, as Merlin has to keep his magic a secret or face execution at the hands of Uther. Morgana is Uther's ward and daughter with the power of prophetic foresight, which frightens her and which she keeps secret. Guinevere, whom she calls "Gwen", is her maid servant and close friend. The first series focused on the development of Merlin and his friendship with Arthur. The second series focuses more on development of the other cast members. Some of the central themes of the series are the budding romance between Arthur and Gwen and Morgana's struggle to control her powers. Other characters from Arthurian legend have also appeared. Lancelot longed to become a knight but was unable to do so because of his birth as a commoner. Mordred has appeared as a Druid boy who formed a bond with Morgana (in legend he is her nephew), and it has been predicted by the dragon that Mordred will be the cause of death of Arthur (in the legend this occurred at the Battle of Camlann). Mordred and the Great Dragon refer to Merlin by his Druidic name, Emrys (the Welsh form of Ambrosius); Ambrosius Aurelianus was a historical figure that Geoffrey of Monmouth partially merged with Merlin. Excalibur is an ordinary sword that becomes enchanted by the Great Dragon and is later thrown into a lake (in the legends, this was the sword Nimueh gave to Arthur). Cast Colin Morgan...

Football
I left the game thrilled with the win, but there was plenty of head scratching going on as to quite how we managed to grind it out. Despite initially looking good value for the lead, I thought we were distinctly off colour after the break and was convinced that an equaliser was coming as early as the 60-minute mark. Villa looked a much improved side after Albrighton came on, and the amount of times he and Downing ripped into us from wide areas was unbelievable (Jeff). Not sure if it was a rehearsed tactic on Houllier's part or an improvised ploy but the crossfield ball from winger to winger caused havoc on Saturday and will do against plenty of other teams this season. So in short, I'll gratefully take the points while admitting that we rode our luck for long periods.

Well, it was in your thread that I discovered her so I still owe you at least half a one. And Nathali=, if you're reading this, thanks to you too. A question for you - whereabouts in the Netherlands are you from? And finally, a question for your good self, Baron - what do you think of the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre? Because I'm dead against it.- Karen Gillan
