I found the whole Merlin secret magician and a young boy a bad twist to the story personally and he stole too much of the show, it devalued Arthur's role considerably. Worst of all was him using magic to help Arthur pull the sword out. Morgana was one of the best characters, I'd say the best BBC deviation of the lot. Arthur was played very well here and different from other versions where he's a rough uncut diamond that fights with passion and courage to make up for his lack of skill, here he starts as one of the best warriors of the land. However as the show progressed they kept having Merlin bail him out over and over again ergh.

Gwaine's always been a favourite, here he was a funny lad. In the Hallmark special with Sam Niell Gwaine and Lancelot were the final two in the jousting melee, Lancelot won by knocking Gwaine off his horse but he was severely wounded whereas Gwaine wasn't, one can say Gwaine actually won if it was a fight to the death. I liked Lancelot's portrayal here as at least when he was human he never betrayed Arthur. I could never like Lancelot in the usual depictions for what he did.
