As legends and myths are told through the ages, the stories begin to differ. This remains true for Arthurian myths and legends. The BBC Merlin series is bound to be a lot more different, given that it's a five-season TV series aimed at teenagers and young adults who grew up or are growing up in the 90s and the 21st century.
