Girl finds Excalibur in Welsh pond? lulz in progress

Cheers Ithoriel.

Seems a funny brew, though. Top of the tin it calls itself a beer... and at the bottom a lager! Is it transitioning?

[who's the photo of? just out of interest]

"Lager (German: storeroom or warehouse) (Czech: ležák) is a type of beer originating from the Austrian Empire (now Czech Republic) that is conditioned at low temperatures, normally at the brewery. It may be pale, golden, amber, or dark." - wikipedia

Charlie Boorman as young Mordred in Excalibur, 1981

He's better as the German pilot in Hope and Glory.

Best work ofc is as Guy of Gisbourne in Robin of Sjerwood! OoooOooOoo, the hooded man!

Barring GoT was there a grittier fantasy drama on mainstream TV? !

Although now I want to watch Excalibur again, I have a serious soft spot for it. Also, Helen Mirren in fantasy-goth outfits is not unhelpful in its popularity. Quickly FSN, to the Top Totty thread!

I remember enjoying it at the time, but gritty? It was on at teatime, early Saturday evening. Think there's a limit to how gritty you can get at that time of the day!

Although now I want to watch Excalibur again . . .

An excellent idea. Do so immediately.

Edit: And also, has there ever been a better Guinevere than Cherie Lunghi (and yes, I am not forgetting Kiera)?

Cheers, Martyn

Gritty for sure. Murder, black magic, rapacious aristo's who are vicious and rapacious, and everything covered in mud Also, they kill characters Although the boob quotient is low compared to GoT, to be sure!

I'll suggest Excalibur to the other half tonight, see if it floats

I've always had a soft spot for Cherie Lunghi, too!

Cheers for the info. I obviously didn't know that about lager, and always thought it some't different. Obviously, being a Yorkshire man, I only ever drank, either, Tetley's, John Smith's, or Theakston and then it was Bitter that I supped 

Never heard of (or seen) Excalibur, if I'm honest.   

[Ithoriel]

Aah! Theakston's "Old Peculiar" a favourite of mine. So appropriate for me ... on both counts

Me also.
