The BBC's new Saturday night drama Merlin got off to an impressive start last night, despite going up against The X Factor in the ratings.

The new retelling of Arthurian legend focuses on the wizard's uncharted younger days and stars Richard Wilson, Anthony Head and John Hurt. The 13-episode first series has also been bought by NBC in the US, where it will air from next January.

The first episode had an average of 6.65m (30%) over 45 minutes from 7.30pm, while on ITV1, ratings juggernaut The X Factor brought in 9.26m (41.7%) over an hour. The audience for Merlin was steady throughout but grew towards the end with a peak of 6.82m (30.3%) at 8.10pm.

Really liked thishas a lot of promise. I can see some interesting storylines coming. The acting was great as was the special effects. Good twist to an old tale

bala

i'm glad you liked i still neeed to watch more episode before i make up my mind

casper27

Even the wife liked it so no more fighting for the remote

bala

so you actually forced her to watch it

casper27

Well forced is such a bad word, I persuaded her that it was my turn after watching all the soaps with her

bala

you know my parents have a simple solution 2 tv's one upstairs and one downstairs

casper27

Yeah but we only have one tv that is connected to the satalite dish the others just recieve foreign channels.Thinking about it I need to look into maybe getting a second box or something.
