A land of mists and magic.
A time of talking dragons.
A land where the government oppresses the members of a religion - and yet the rulers never seem to have any religion of their own - despite the mists and magic, the dragons and the other religion. So the BBC can cleverly have a pop at Christian intolerance without naming it.
A 5th Century where the dominant mode of discourse is post-modern irony.
A Camelot where the enemy is the Celt not the English.
Don't die, Doctor! Please don't leave us! Though you were impossible, too clever by half, over-wrought, over-complex, over budget, and totally wasted the Cyberpeople (why "men"? Where's the equal opportunties for people who through no fault of their own have been converted into androids with no emotions?) And though - despite the money and the hype and the CGI (or maybe because of it) you were terribly, terribly lazy....
Don't do it, Doctor! Don't leave us to Merlin.....
Aaaaaaaaagh!

Well at least Merlin's better than the Camelot tosh on C4 where Merlin is an atheist and Morgan's evil side kick Sybil is a nun. No clever subtle implications there. Still, it did have Eva Green.
ReplyDeleteTalking of Camelot - well done England! Tey may win the RWC yet...
ReplyDeleteI think you've got to watch out for the subtlety. It's like that bloke off the Office - you'd never know it, but he's an atheist. That's how they sucker you in.
ReplyDeleteGiven that bloke off the coffee ads going around being sociopathic, and Morgana looking constipated and yet utterly failing to hide her evilnness - i'd be off to the woods and lakes with the Celts and their haunting sub-Enya music anytime.
But they can't play rugby.
ReplyDeleteNah, that Arthur would get snapped in half in a decent scrum.
