I'm not from Britain so I don't get why Merlin lost out at the BTA awards. My understanding was that it was Britain's top-rated show in terms of viewers. On the other hand, I haven't seen Downton Abbey in a long time over here. It was a pretty good show from what I did see, but has it really gotten that much better than Merlin in 2012?
