I have seen this programme a few times and it does make me chuckle,King Arthur is portrayed as an incompetent fool,Sir Lancelot a cad and Genivere a dumb bimbo.The programme makes fun out of history in an innocent way you can only help laugh at it,there's nothing offencive about it.I don't think it,s as recognised as it should be its as good as any other cartoon thats on the main channels.You will probably hear people criticising it for its deliberate historical inaccuracies,for instance in one episode The Scottish king builds Hadrians Wall to keep Arthur out,it has lots of story lines like that their inaccurate but the programme is honest about itself,it doesn't sell itself as a history lesson,unlike a lot of films being made today.The programme is as suitable for adults as it is for children,and the graphics are very good.If you want a bit of historical escapism that doesn't take it self seriously then this could be your programme.

These are the disastrous stories that will make the Real King Arthur (wherever he's buried) turn in his grave.In this new animated series King Arthur is the short, generally good natured leader of Medieval Britain, who seeks the hand of the lovely shopholic princess Guinevere.In each episode, the lovestruck Royal tries to woo Guinevere who sets him impossible tasks that (you guessed it) ends in disaster. Helping him in these really silly tasks is his ONLY best friend , the incompetent wizard Merlin not to mention his Highness's horse, Alan. Fun, rather goofy at times and really funny, this is a must see for fans of British comedy, and especially for fans of the talented Rik Mayall who voices the title character.
