The Atlantis - tonight at 8:25!

As you may or may not know, The Producers of Merlin, Jonny Capps & Julian Murphy, have been busy creating a new series called Atlantis - and it airs on BBC1 tonight at 8:25 (for UK viewers only. It will air in Canada on 12th October, and in America on 23rd November)!

 

Atlantis is a strange, ancient city with palaces so huge that is was said to have been built by Giants!

A young Jason arrives at the city, and an epic adventure begins.

Sounds very much like Merlin, doesn't it... a young Merlin arrives at the great and ancient city of Camelot and a magical adventure begins...

 

See the trailer here!

 

In the trailor, you might have noticed a familiar face:

 

 

Sarah parish. wasn't she in Merlin?

 

 

Of Course! The troll posing as Lady Catrina in series 2!

 

at the end of the trailer you will see this:

 

"The Legend Begins". hmm. Does this mean a second series has already been commissioned? Maybe so, but haven't I seen that somewhere before...

oh yes!

This show is starting to look quite a bit like Merlin.

 

But whether the show will work or not depends on tonight...

 

Ps: for any of you who are also doctor who fans, some teasers for the 50th anniversary special are being shown before and after Atlantis. 

What's John Hurt doing now?

Most of you will already know what John Hurt is doing now, as he is now in one of the most famous TV shows around, which is about to celebrate its' 50th Anniversary!

Doctor Who!

And not only that, but he is playing the Doctor!

 

But which Doctor?

 

But soon after John Hurt was revealed , the most annoying message appeared onscreen:

 

 

So until then, we are faced with the most tantalising wait...

The Marathon Merlin watch

Do you know anyone who has hardly watched Merlin, or has NEVER watched Merlin? Are they keen to watch but don't know where to start?
If so, Then continue reading!
A friend of mine came to stay quite recently and had never watched Merlin before, and I was determined that before they left, they would know the full story line through-out the whole show.
But they were only staying for 10 days.
 Merlin has 5 series', each with 13 episodes. That's 65 episodes.
There wasn't time to watch all 65 episodes, so I came up with a list of 38 episodes which spread through out the whole show and covered the full story line! We watched a few episodes a day, and completed the list just in time!

So if you are in a similar situation to mine, or if you want to watch a short Merlin Marathon, then here is the list:
