Camelot - UK's Game of Thrones?

[Neil]

On ch4 this weekend we have Camelot starting. A ten part re-telling of King Arthur.

I might watch the first episode, but I expect it to be a rubbish politically correct telling of the story with low budget CGI and everyone speaking in that "I went to acting school dont you know" accent that they all have in these TV series :rolleyes:
At least in Game of Thrones there is mercifully little of that barring a few of the child actors, King Robert spoke like a typical grass roots no nonsense bloke, and Sean Bean in his usual gruff Yorkshire tones :)

I saw the first 2 episodes of this ages ago but got distracted and forgot about it.
I liked it but in the shadow of Game of Thrones it may look tame and lightweight.

Oh dear! Very safe, predictable, and run of the mill... I'll give it one more episode...
