Merlin will be returning to Saturday teatimes in 2011, it’s been confirmed…
The BBC has ordered a fourth series of its popular Saturday night fantasy drama Merlin, it's been revealed. The news comes as the third series of the show continues to draw in solid ratings, and has proved the BBC's most successful attempt to fill the Saturday teatime slot with a drama series that isn't Doctor Who.
The fourth series of Merlin will run for ten 45 minute episodes, and filming is set to begin in March 2011.
