If you have a lot of time to listen to this while you do something else that doesn't require a lot of thought; I highly reccomend listening to this podcast, Merlin fans. You will hear many references to BBC's Merlin and the character Arthur in particular. -EmrysDragolord
The Arthurian Podcast by Dissecting Worlds:
Do you know if there is any academic papers on BBC Merlin? I'm a grad student, who is working on paper on Harry Potter and BBC Merlin. I haven't found any thing academic so far for BBC Merlin, besides the Arthurian legend (which I'll also use). I just really want to see if there is any papers that might be useful to cite for BBC Merlin. If you're able to help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
