== Trivia Tropes ==
* [[Ability Over Appearance]]: Given the time-period and the fact that Guinevere means "white" or "fair one", there were some raised eyebrows over mixed-race [[Angel Coulby]] getting the part of the future queen. The producers said that they had looked at hundreds of potential Guineveres, but [[Angel Coulby]] was the only one that could nail the quirky, clumsy servant girl, but also "bring the queen" when the occasion called for it.
* [[Acting for Two]]: [[Eve Myles]] in "The Dragon's Call" playing both Lady Helen and Mary Collins.
** Also, Colin Morgan has portrayed a total of ''three'' different characters including standard Merlin, Dragoon/Emrys, and Dolma. How he manages to pull off making all three different characters with different quirks is amazing.
* [[Channel Hop]]: In the USA, the first season aired on NBC during the Summer of 2009. From the second series onwards, it was transferrred to the [[SyFy]] Channel where it faired much better than it did on Broadcast TV and it stayed there for the rest of it's run.
* [[Deleted Role]]: Emilia Fox as Morgause was all set to return after her death (at the start of season four) in order to appear to Morgana in a vision and give her the coin that she later uses to resurrect Lancelot. The scene was cut and never released on DVD, though there are some promotional shots out there.
