what my video and comments

[dusktwilight7]

I'm ridiculously appalled at some of the comments. People really need to get over tiny details and accept the fact that this is a television program, no one's trying to re-write history. Good lord. Thank god no one has an american accent or they'd would have a bloody coronary!

I can't believe people would rather argue about the ethnicity of the actors than be a part of something magical. Personally I think it's brilliant and so are all the actors.

either watch it or don't just stop bitching!

[akirahsyakira]

can u show me how to search a friend? i wanted to see your friend Glodenbrik`s vid. tq

[Aquatics64]

That time freezing is SO Heroes.

[xPinkBunny]

What the heck are you on about...

Of course there should be no asian or chinese actors in Merlin. The show is British and therefore should only have white people in the cast. Just a shame that the BEEB had to go all PC when casting the role of Gwen. You are a disgrace. Its because of people like

[Caribdus]

Well I disagree. I also forgot to mention that the show is totally sexist. Why are there no female Knights? Everyone knows women are the equal of men when it comes to warfare regardless of time period. We're supposed to welcome diversity in this country and I'm not seeing enough of this in Merlin ROFLMFAO!

[xPinkBunny]

'female Knights'

I've heard it all now! lmfao.

[loveliberation]

Joan of Arc? Boadicea ?

[jondea0]

im sorry its not a question of diversity, im sure if knights were around today, fulfilling the same roles then females would be accepted. the fact is they are trying to keep it just a little historically correct. as far as pink bunny says well you're wrong, there is a possibility there would have been other races in the servantship, maybe small but still.

anyway caribdus there are some very strong female characters in merlin, maybe even more so than what was realistic so stop moaning

[24442935]

I watched Merlin only once, it was too PC for me. Thus destroying a famous old English folk story. What next, a dwarf as Sir Lancelot

[Christonamotorcycle]

Guinevere, from the Welsh Gwenhwyfar meaning the white fay or fairy, and daughter of King Leodegrance was not a black woman. Please stop your nefarious, politically correct butchering of English culture, identity and history.

[DaystarDragon]

Oh my goddess, that is not the POINT of the show!!

[Christonamotorcycle]

Our English history and heritage should not be re-written to suit the politically correct numbskulls at the BBC.

[RooTF]

does any one know the name of the song the witch sings in the end of episode 1?

pretty please

[eyepoood]

okay, there were actually talking dragons in this - hence fantasy over fact. Plus, is this 'supposed' to be set around the 13th century (if we had to be little more exact)? And Robin Hood was set in 1192 - and we did actually have slaves from the third world in Europe in that era... so, maybe we should all calm down and get hooked into the storyline :¬) hey?

[MistressScarletta]

It's just common sense, of course a black person could have gone around in those days like everyone else, like it or not it's the truth. At least in Robin Hood they had reasoning and issues behind it, this is just... really silly.

[xPinkBunny]

75goodies be quiet.

[hetrodoxly]

Usual bbC* PC drivel. stop the licence fee.

[xPinkBunny]

The BBC are VERY racist - to the white indiginous British people.

[75goodies]

xpinkbunny thing, you need your head examining

[Christonamotorcycle]

Guinevere, from the Welsh Gwenhwyfar meaning the white fay or fairy, and daughter of King Leodegrance was not a black woman. Please stop your nefarious, politically correct butchering of English culture, identity and history.

[Torchwood1001]

I loved this episode...can't wait for the next one!

[Truepsycho]

Is this things that makes me hate the media... If no blacks was around during that age in England then there's not supposed to be any black actors.. Fucking media, journalists and magazines that shows us a false reality. Shoot em all!

[pruplesock]

There's fucking dragon's and wizards in this series and your concerned by the believableness of someone's race?

[Avlesa]

Yes but they dont wanna be rasist so they

[xPinkBunny]

I am not saying that the show is historically accurate, but there was never any need to give the leading lady role to a black actress. I soppose I can be 'greatful' that Merlin is played by a white actor.

[Caribdus]

Yeah but Merlin is played by another paddy just like Robin Hood. I thought Merlin was Welsh. I'm thinking of complaining to the Beeb about the lack of Chinese and Asian actors in this show LOL! Oh and why no Homosexuals or Lesbians? and shouldn't the King be Muslim? ROFL!

[xPinkBunny]

you who vote for the Labour control BEEB, that we get multiculturalism shoved down our throats. Well I aint buying it, I'm white and proud!!!

Oh and I soppose you like the CBBC advert what shows only black and asian children... how very 'english' I don't think.

[loveliberation]

Well Romans brought a whole bunch of Turks, and some Africans, look up 'Yorkshire clan linked to Africa'.

More obviously, they didn't have telekinesis, or indeed, make-up, or such great hair or teeth... but who cares it's just a kids program! :)

The Arthurian legend is anyway allegedly Welsh not English... the Dragons come from China via the Romans... it's a complicated interconnected world :)

[Bighairyfart]

which turks? do u mean samaritians?

[Sixu83]

It is Welsh, King Arthur was first mentioned in the Welsh legendbook: Mabinogion. Whom fought for the native Britons.

Anglo-Saxons = English. So it's a little odd that King Arthur speaks with an English accent fighting the enemies of England (when it didn't even exist). lol

[xPinkBunny]

The black people who were around back then would definitly not have been in Europe - let alone England. They would well and truely have been in Africa. The only fault with Merlin was that they made Guinevere black. That really annoyed me. Bit by bit the anti white/english Beeb and government are doing

[Bighairyfart]

and u think the rest of the show was historicallry accurate right lol, but seriously don't be such a sillybilly what would u have next only cerebial palsy actors in fight the plaque ads (sorry for poor taste there) or only smerths making ribena

[Bighairyfart]

shit how do u delete

[xPinkBunny]

their best to erase the proud heritage and culture of the white indiginous Brits. It is not right. All Beeb shows have exactly the same problem. Take the kids channels, you only get a job on them if you are black or asian.

[tommy2008]

i want to see the next episode ，love this showw

[Rosie4evr]

does anybody know of a website for people outside the UK to watch full episodes?

[DemonaLlama]

No, because that would be illegal ... unless you visit the BBC's site and watch them on iPlayer (although they will post the episodes on there several days after the show airs on TV). In the meantime, there's a Facebook group! :>

[xPinkBunny]

Merlin was just fantastic!!!

But why was Gwen played by a black actress? I soppose I shouldn't be suprised, this is the BBC after all!

[DemonaLlama]

Oh who cares! Eve Myles is Welsh and she played an English woman! There were plenty of black people around even in the early medieval period.

[lilpixiebecci]

i really enjoyed it! canot wait 2 see next weeks episode. I loved watching dr who and robin hood and it looks like im gonna love this 2 :D

[RANDOM889]

IT WAS BLUDDY BRILLIANT I LOVE IT!

[FirecrackerSarahJ]

I loved this episode, can't wait to see more of this show.

[HeyArnoldsspleen]

Eve Miles got the best portions of the script, and the remaining actors look bored out of their skulls. Robin Hood may be bloody inaccurate, but at least it TRIES.

[Bighairyfart]

they're both innacurate

[hordenbadboy]

just saw it owns xd

[smailsnail]

Meh. It looks ok, but ign reviewed it yesterday and gave it 6/10. I'm more excited at the new preceding game show Hole In The Wall at 5:40 :P

[DJVideoMusicMixer]

I cannot wait for that!

It looks like some good effects, because sometimes the BBC can do bad effects!

[domandmattsmagic]

he's a witch!!! burn him!!!!!

[invalidtorture]

is this like a doctor who replacement?

[PeteMP1992]

Yep, It even has Torchwood`s Eve Myles who was last seen in the Doctor Who series 4 finale.

[thedoctorwho07]

Eve Myles plays a 130-year-old witch in the first episode. So you can't tell it's her cos she has LOADS of postetics on. lol

[cheifdramatist]

looks like to me a robin hood type thing and basicly rubbish.

[Literateur]

Yeah, but entertaining rubbish. :D

[doctordavidtennant]

ok ummmm when is it on? id really like to know its looks gd!

[thedoctorwho07]

Tomorrow night.

After Strictly Come Dancing, i think.

[madgirl132]

Looks fabby =] BBC do the best TV :D

[mrsemm]

Cannot wait until Saturday. Two sleeps only!

[mrsemm]

Yes it is - 19h30.

This is SPAM, Advertising a show that denies me access!

It's because a UK citizen pays something called the license fee. This funds the BBC. We have to breathe YOUR air pollution as well.

Typical american greed

[misterfisherman]

[BeckusTitheroff]
