Talk:Merlin (2008 TV series)

Merlin comes to Saturday nights on BBC one

I looks very likely that Merlin makes its premier on BBC one on Saturday 20th September. Possibly around the 7pm slot as Strickly Come Dancing also starts on that evening on BBC one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onshore (talk • contribs) 21:23, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering if it's gonna be double parter for each story, like Sarah Jane Adventures and not Doctor Who. I'm watching right now ( yes it's the 20th ) and I don't want it to end before we find out who the scary witch is!!!!!!!!!!!! She's taken the form of a lady who's played by Eve Myles. Eve Myles AND Anthony Head AND Julie Gardner. Any of this sound familiar? Also are there are only four episodes? OH NO!!!!!!!!!! BBBOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.215.20 (talk) 19:16, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean "only four episodes"? There are 13 episodes to be aired. magnius (talk) 19:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Character List

First of all, yes, they're all part of Doctor Who. Also, Colin Morgan was in Doctor Who too in the episode Midnight (Doctor Who). Anyway, tomorrow i plan to do a Character list, hopefully so i'm hoping nobody will do it until then. Thanks

Disputed sentence

Thekoyaanisqatsi (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has repeatedly added the following sentence

"The number of generations from one's grandparents down to one's children is four however."

My feeling is that, while the observation is true, picking at a minor error in a statement (made by BBC One Controller Peter Fincham) intended to get across that Merlin is a family show is not really the business of the article. We're here to write about the series, not digress into whether Peter Fincham can add up or not. However, rather than simply reverting Thekoyaanisqatsi's edit again, I thought I'd ask for other opinions on this matter. Cheers. H.G. 11:07, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I fully agree with you, this is an article about a TV show called Merlin, it is not about picking apart the accuracy of a quote. magnius (talk) 11:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know where this is going, but is this to do with the inaccuracy of the show? If so, nothing has to be exact! Its just like Dragonball, people are complaining the film will suck: ITS JUST AN ADAPTION! Transformers was an adaption of the series and it rocked!! Its Arithian legend, meaning nobody knows what REALLY happened Goku1st (talk) 21:01, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

No, it's to do with something a BBC executive said, not the show itself. H.G. 21:12, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Period of Story

I wonder what date people would put on the story. From the style of the castle, it would have to be after 1400 when the Château was built. Also, if Merlin is being pelted with tomatoes when he is in the stocks, that would put it after about 1600, when they first came from America. This could to give Arthur a bit of a problem when he needs to get back to the 6th century to protect Britain from the Saxon invaders. There is also the last known appearance of dragons to fit in! I guess Davies is still in Doctor Who mode... Recent Runes (talk) 21:55, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Is this connected to something you wanted to add to the article? H.G. 22:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
