Merlin is a British fantasy-adventure television programme created by Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Julian Murphy, and Johnny Capps, starring Colin Morgan in the title role. It was broadcast on BBC One from 20 September 2008 to 24 December 2012 for a total of 65 episodes. The show is loosely based on the Arthurian legends of the young wizard Merlin and his relationship with King Arthur, but it differs from traditional versions. The show was influenced by the US drama series Smallville about the early years of Superman, and was produced by independent production company Shine Limited.
Merlin is a reimagining of the legend in which the future King Arthur and Merlin are young contemporaries. Arthur's father Uther Pendragon has banned magic in Camelot, its use punishable by death, forcing Merlin to keep his magical powers secret from everyone in Camelot other than his mentor Gaius. Arthur grows from a young, self-absorbed boy to the mighty king in the legends, and Merlin develops into his colossal role in creating the powerful Camelot. The series was immensely popular and very well received by the public. It was responsible for bringing much of the young cast to international prominence and transformed their careers. In 2012, the show's producers announced that its fifth series would be its last, with a two-part finale on 24 December 2012.

In this clip from "Goblin's Gold" Episode 3 of Season 3, the Goblin possessed Giaus confronts Morgana about her current state and tells her just what he thinks. Definitely my favourite scene from the latest episode! Richard Wilson's performance in this episode was absolutely phenomenal.

Merlin, the sea, lunar delight
Merlin, my dear uranium bride
Merlin, my birth, my solar grenade
Merlin, so real, is what I elate
come and get me...
and we dive away now...
utopian grey now!
Merlin, my fear, my cosmic perfume
Merlin, the seed, the snake I consume
Merlin, my sin, my Lilith in flames
take me away on luminous trains
come and get me...
and we dive away now...
utopian grey now!
Merlin try to break me, take me, hate me
Merlin try to haunt me, be my sun
and we dive away now...
