BBC\'s Merlin

[Robert Vermaat]

Hi Sandra,

But I've seen so many cr*ppy versions of Dark Age stuff that I no longer get het up about it (haven't got the energy at my age).

Pfah! You're just 3 years older than I am! But I know what you mean...

Instead I am becoming resigned to not seeing a real attempt at an authentic 5th century setting on film before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Hmm. I fear we'd have to do it ourselves first...

I did have a bonkers idea of sending a paperback copy of Sword at Sunset to Peter Jackson (he of Lord of the Rings) to see if he could supply his vision and understanding to the subject. But I am unsure of his address. Ah, I can only dream 8)

But what a dream! The BEST Arthurian novel ever written....
