LONDON, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- The BBC has begun airing "Merlin," a new television series about a young version of a wizard who is popular in British legend and literature.
"We forget that Merlin at some point was a young guy, finding his place in the world," said the medieval mystic's portrayer, actor Colin Morgan, 22. "I think that's what this series really deals with -- how Merlin comes to terms with his powers, his destiny. And how he finds a place for himself in the world of Camelot, where he can't be himself."
