I just saw the first episode/sneak peek on this new show Camelot...caught my attention and held it but I'm of course waiting to see what occurs. James Purefoy was an excellent choice as Lot of Orkney and rather than being an ally, he is Uther's biggest competition and as such, Arthur's.
The environs are dark and drab, evoking the Dark Ages when Arthur is said to have lived if he did, I like the realization of Camelot as an old relic overgrown by nature, a seat of ancient power if you will. I look forward to seeing how this all unfolds- definitely worth watching imho.
