Piping The Truth Into Your Brainballs!
Story published on July 23, 2008
Ex-EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan will be appearing in the BBC’s latest fantasy TV show, Merlin. Ryan left EastEnders in 2005 and has since gone on to much greater things, she appeared in the much acclaimed Jekyll and last year took the starring role as Jamie Sommers in the remake of 70s classic TV show The Bionic Woman. Unfortunately the strike by the Writers Guild of America seems to have destroyed the chances of a second season for Bionic Woman, but hopefully Michelle will impress again playing the wicked sorceress Nimueh in the BBC’s new show which tells the tale of a young Merlin and Arthur as they reach adulthood in Camelot. It sounds like a Smallville-esque reworking of the Arthurian legend.
The main cast are Merlin, Arthur and Guinevere played by relative new-comers Colin Morgan, Bradley James and Angel Coulby respectively. But there is a stellar supporting cast, besides the aforementioned Michelle Ryan the cast also includes Alien and Hellboy star John Hurt as the voice of a dragon, Santiago Cabrera known for playing Isaac Mendez in the awesome Heroes does a turn as the iconic Lancelot and Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Anthony Head is also included in the cast playing Pendragon.
The BBC are hoping this relatively big budget fantasy drama will succeed in filling the Saturday night void Doctor Who has left behind since the season finale aired two weeks ago.
