TV review: Merlin | The Well
But I bet there are loads of people out there secretly addicted to Merlin, the BBC's Saturday-night family fantasy which doesn't have the fanboy kudos of Doctor Who, with its long history, and so feel they have to at least pretend to be abashed about it.
But they shouldn't feel bad, because though it is hugely unoriginal and suffers from the curse of the reset button – at the end of every episode, the characters all have to return to default settings, often for no strong reason – Merlin really is top fun.
