Oh, now, hang ON … !
Hubba, hubba!
Sorry, I‘m definitely getting not just impressed, there.
I think I’m getting ENTHUSIASTIC … !
No, seriously … !
Oh, LORDY, yes … !
You see, I’ve just seen tonight’s 8th episode of Merlin, series 4.
And I think I’ve fallen in love … !
‹‹·››
OK …
Maybe that’s getting a touch carried away.
But I’ve got to admit to having sat meself down with tonight’s episode — Lancelot du Lac — and coming away seriously impressed with it.
Lancelot du Lac sees Morgana’s evil plans being unintentionally given a step forward, with Arthur’s own (unknowing) help.
Arthur — Bradley James — finally takes the big step of asking Guinevere — Angel Coulby — to marry him.
That piece of news … ? Is EXACTLY the sort of thing Morgana wants to hear. It gives her the excuse to bringing Guinevere’s former swainº, Sir Lancelot*, back from the dead.
AND makes sure that he has a small bracelet to give to Guinevere, guaranteeing that her buried feelings for the handsome knight will re-surface.
They do.
And while both Merlin and Gaius have realised that the Lancelot that’s walking around, causing havoc, is the shade of the man they remember, there’s little they can do to stop the inevitable — and apparent — betrayal.
‹‹•››
Now …
I said about enthusiastic … ?
Oh, LORD, yes … !
Episode 8 really DID seem to re-tell part of the Arthurian myth — that of Guinevere’s betrayal of her husband — in a way that was both wonderfully written, stunning performed: with genuine human emotion from it’s central characters, I should add, Bradley James as Arthur, and Angel Coulby as Guinevere.
And ALL together stunning viewing.
If you get the chance to watch … ?
I think you’d be well repaid …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
