Didn`t actually suck. Likeable characters, decent enough plots (although it flips a few Arthurian legends around) and none of that `we`re great, us` pomposity that caused Robin Hood to be such a poorly made piece of garbage. Shall be watching again

yep i liked it as well
john hurt`s role looks interesting and a decent budget helps.
It`s not John Boormans Excalibur but I enjoyed it as a lightweighted story for a weekly format.
I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.
When fishermen catch dolphin-friendly tuna, how do they know which tuna are being friendly to dolphins?
Cheers guys, I realised that I`d missed this with about ten minutes left of it and couldn`t decide whether to bother catching up with it on iPlayer. With those comments, I suppose I shall give it a go.
yep we liked it to (:¦ , was good fun!

I don`t think there`s been a film or television programme that has come close to Excalibur, well apart from the Monty Python`s Holy Grail ;)

Watched it this morning and thought it was a pretty decent opening episode. 8 yr daughter also enjoyed it which is a bonus. 13 episodes in total I believe. It was certainly better than nonsense like Primeval.
Why is it not in HD though? That`s my only gripe :(
