Here's a terrible teaser trailer for
Merlin's third series. Exactly the kind of thing that drains whatever excitement you've allowed to build over the summer. I'm sure the quality of this teaser isn't indicative of the series itself (there will probably be a better, longer trailer released soon), but I seriously have to question the BBC's marketing people when crud like
this gets released to promote a major Saturday night hit. And isn't it about time they ditched the breathy "Merrlin" voice-over? If you haven't heard, Merlin returns to BBC1 on
11 September.
