  • Merlin is the archetypal wizard, Welsh and Celtic in origin but with connections across the water in Cornwall and middle Europe, and, of course, the Arthurian legends. The powerful wizard is portrayed across folklore with many magical powers, including the power of shapeshifting, and is well-known for being King Arthur's mentor, ultimately guiding him towards becoming the king of Camelot. In this documentary, we take a deep dive into the fantastic world of Merlin and his influence in today's society.

    The background music was too loud. It made the narration hard to hear.

    22:37 is this an instrumental version of Little Bird by Annie Lennox in the background?

    I wish this were a bit more professionally historic, ie, i wish actual provenence were cited, hard evidence of origins. The words used in the initial descritption lack this. Some scholars have even suggested that Arthur, and so Merlin by extension, was Gauic- French, so there kust be more hard primary sources than claimed here Its a shame, because it's an interesting story

    Sorry but I cannot watch a documentary, when you use an image of Hitler to compare against Merlin! Whether fictitious or real, you do not use Hitler when comparing!

    What makes this guy a 'historian'? Seems he's a fictionalist.
