A [[BBC 1]] series that started on 20 September 2008. The timeslot and intended audience is the same as for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]''. It was picked up by [[NBC]] to air in January 2009. This is the first time in several years that a British TV show has been bought for broadcasting by a major US network. It got a second series, after having done very well against ''[[The X Factor]]'' and following a third series, a fourth and fifth have been commissioned. It follows Merlin of [[King Arthur]] fame in the early stages of his career (except that [[Pragmatic Adaptation|he's younger than Arthur).]] |
