Merlin is a British television drama series that began in 2008. It is based around the Arthurian legends of the mythical wizard Merlin and his relationship with Prince Arthur, though differs significantly from more traditional versions of the myth. Produced by independent production company Shine Limited for BBC One, the programme is designed to run in the same Saturday evening family drama slot as series such as Doctor Who and Robin Hood. The show has been renewed for a second series.
From Wikipedia

Characters

Colin Morgan as Merlin: The main protagonist, a young, remarkably talented sorcerer who attempts to keep his powers secret.
Bradley James as Prince Arthur: the arrogant and reckless but kind and benevolent son of King Uther and future King of Camelot.
Richard Wilson as Gaius: Camelot's court physician and one of the few to know Merlin's secret. Gaius used to be a sorcerer himself and is something of an alchemist and magical scholar. He has a dry sense of humour and looks on Merlin as his son.
Anthony Head as Uther Pendragon: Arthur's father and current king of Camelot. Uther is depicted as a ruthless and sometimes cruel man but he cares deeply about his subjects and friends however he can be sometimes blinded by his hatred toward all forms of magic.
Angel Coulby as Guinevere (Gwen): a servant and friend to Morgana. She has a friendly but occasionally antagonistic relationship with Arthur and it is implied that she holds romantic feelings toward him.
Katie McGrath as Morgana: King Uther's ward and the daughter of his late best friend, Morgana is a regal and refined lady of the court. Deeply compassionate, she is also secretly a seer.
John Hurt as the voice of the The Great Dragon: Merlin's mentor and one of the few to know his secret. The Dragon appears omniscient and his motivations are unknown beyond his desire to be released from the dungeons of Camelot.
