Vicariously BBC Merlin: "Arthur's Bane Part 2" & "The Death Song of Uther Pendragon"

As dawn breaks across the icy tundra, Merlin and Arthur are close to exhaustion. With each tortured step, the fortress of Ismere looms ever nearer, and Merlin's fear intensifies. What game is Mordred playing? What powerful secrets are Morgana and the druid Ruadan searching for amongst its twisted catacombs? It seems like this time, not even Merlin can stop Arthur from walking right into the lion's den.

Scorecard: 7/10

When a stranger gives Arthur the power to summon the dead, the king finds himself torn between head and heart. Unable to resist temptation, he seizes the chance to speak to the person he misses most: his father, Uther. However, the spirit world is a dark and dangerous place; little does Arthur realise that his decision comes at a terrible price.

Scorecard: 3/10
