The slashfic writers are going to love this.

With a little help from Canada (Muse) and the Bulgaria of equatorial low-budget film production, South Africa (Moonlighting). I think I might just decide to finally see that '50s version instead.

So would Spouse, and I probably wouldn't care nearly as much about the liberties played with the text as I do watching Merlin, because despite being the first novel in the English Language (or not if you take the feminist interpretation that Aphra Behn's Orinooko was) it is fearfully dull, so it looks as though they've spiced it up a tad. And I have a feeling the version I watched as a kid wasn't exactly true to the original.
