The BBC is to launch a new “magical” interactive campaign using “augmented reality” technology in cinemas across the UK to promote Merlin, a new 13-part drama for BBC One.

This autumn the BBC reveals an unparalleled line-up of drama across four channels that will have something for audiences of all ages and tastes to enjoy.

At this stage in his long and illustrious career, it’s rare that John Hurt gets a chance to break new acting ground. But his performance as the voice of the Great Dragon in Merlin took him into uncharted territory not once but twice.

Rising star Angel Coulby sensed she was joining a special production the moment she arrived on the set of Merlin.

Bradley James admits audiences are in for a surprise when they first cast eyes on the young Prince Arthur in Merlin.

You’d be forgiven for thinking Colin Morgan was born to play the part of history’s most famous sorcerer. He was warming up for the role when he was just three.

All the main characters in the magical kingdom.

The legend of Merlin and King Arthur has long held film makers under its spell, inspiring works from Camelot to Lancelot, Excalibur to Monty Python & The Holy Grail.

Merlin is a new 13-part drama series on BBC One which updates the story of the infamous sorceror of Arthurian legend for a new audience.

The BBC is to offer viewers the chance to catch up on every episode of some of their favourite series as “series stacking” is introduced to BBC iPlayer and programme sites from 13 September 2008.
