Plot

A truly epic, made for TV version of the ever-popular tale of King Arthur, Camelot and the sword Excalibur. Told in flashback by Merlin, he begins back in the time of Arthur's grandfather, giving much more background to the mythical story than other retellings have done. Miranda Richardson is particularly impressive as Queen Mab in this accomplished and visually striking adventure.
