Good show, but i am partial to all tv shows and films with heavy CGI ;).Strong story developing and a likeable main character,i actually only caught it halfway in but it looks pretty good.

children learn off the tv and films, if the history is wrong they get all huffy when you put the stright.

At least it encourages them to read up on these things and learn the truth!

erm is there actually any historic evidence of King Arthur and Merlin and the whole camelot legend?

I believe there is much dispute about if and when King Arthur actually existed.

Here is part of the wiki entry on King Arthur

King Arthur is a legendary British leader who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defence of Britain against the Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention, and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians.^[2] The sparse historical background of Arthur is gleaned from various histories, including those of Gildas, Nennius and the Annales Cambriae. Arthur's name also occurs in early poetic sources such as Y Gododdin.
