Merlin is going to be awesome!

Let’s get past the boring people first, John Hurt has been cast in the BBC’s new Saturday night drama, Merlin. Hurt plays the voice of the Great Dragon that know’s Merlin’s destiny or something. We’ll work out the storylines closer to transmission.

Anyway onto more exciting news, Michelle Ryan will play the evil witch, Nimueh. This teamed up with the fact that Anthony Head is also appearing gives me hope for this show. I hear Richard Wilson is involved as well.

The series will air for 13 episodes from September on BBC one, also it will air on NBC in the States. Hopefully it will be better than Robin Hood, man that show sucks.
