Line 59:
** As of the end of the fourth series, Excalibur has been pulled out of the stone and is in Arthur's possession, but ''still'' hasn't been called "Excalibur" yet.
* Appears in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story ''Battlefield'', where it is key to resurrecting a King Arthur from an [[Alternate Universe]]. {{spoiler|Only, Arthur's really long dead...}}
* Truth In Television from which the Excalibur myth was taken: in ancient times, aging celtic heroes threw their inherited, heirloom blades into the swamps to appease the spirits who dwelt there, who presumably kept their weapons safe after they died. They've found tons of swords buried in the former lake around the former isle of Avalon, aka Glastonbury Tor.▼

* ''[[Gargoyles]]''. [[King Arthur]] appeared, albeit sans Excalibur. He eventually retrieved it, but not without a clash with [[Macbeth]].

The only weapon without question powerful enough to do the job is Excalibur. Through trickery Mumm-Ra obtains it and defeats the Sword of Omens after the swords fight on their own. It looks like evil wins until Merlin shows up, takes back the sword and kicks Mumm-Ra's ass.
