Talk:Series 5/@comment-4789897-20121123020322

I envy the countries that are going to air series 5. In New Zealand, they decided to cancel Merlin after series 2 because there wasn't enough interest.?

I know the videos are posted for each episode and there are always dvd's but it just isn't the same as watching it on tv.

You lose that certain atmosphere, the frustration of not being able to rewind when you miss something or an annoying relative decides that he/she is the designated running commentator.

Of course I could just download the episodes onto my ps3 and chuck the remote away for 45 minutes but it's still not the same as watching it as it's broadcast
