I don't know quite which bit to put this thread in, but I want to put a link to the trailer for the new BBC Drama Merlin, which NBC in the USA have also bought, because I'm sure this will be of interest to most of us Tolkien fans. There's not always been a lot of fantasy on TV until recently, and there's not really been very much in this vein at all as it's more towards sci-fi - and this promises all kinds of cool things including The Great Dragon

Cool trailer, eh?

Starts in a couple of weeks, in the Doctor Who/Robin Hood slot on BBC1 (series 3 of Robin Hood is due next year, apparently), and a few weeks afterwards, at 8pm on Sundays on NBC in the US. Canadian and Australian TV are also picking it up.
