What is “The Adventures of Merlin”?
“The Adventures of Merlin” is an action, adventure and fantasy drama that airs on BBC One in the United Kingdom. The show is based loosely on the many Arthurian stories and legends. It is staged in the young adult years of both Merlin and Arthur. The producers state on the first Season 1 DVD set that the world the show takes place in is a fantasy world, which is not intended to be 100% historically accurate.

Has the series been renamed?
No. The international title for the series is "The Adventures of Merlin." The series is still called "Merlin" in the United Kingdom.

Why does this actor get listed before that actor on this site?
We organize things, such as galleries, that include the main cast members according to the order they currently appear in the opening titles.

Is Merlin’s Keep on any social networking website?
It is not at the present time. There are no plans to in the future.

Is the site design and content offered on this site unbiased?
Yes, how we Shana and Jess the webmistresses of Merlin's Keep personally feel about the series, positive or negative, has never and never will effect the site design or content. Merlin’s Keep has always offered unbiased coverage of the series since we took over on June 1, 2010, and always will as long as we are in charge. For the record, just because this site covers the entire series without bias does not mean we love or like everything about the series. We don’t love or like everything about this series.

Are the webmistresses or this site tools?
We Shana and Jess the webmistresses of Merlin's Keep, although fans of parts of the series will never be tools for or butt-kissers of the series, cast, producers and/or anyone else who works on it or for BBC and Shine. While this site is unbiased in design and content, it and us will never be tools for the series or any of the cast, producers and crew.

Can I hotlink this site's photos?
Absolutely not. Save photos and upload them to your own webspace, journal, blog, image hosting space, etc. You can post text links or hyperlinks to specific photos, but do not hotlink.

If you have hotlinked anything, please save and upload whatever you hotlinked to your own space.
