Due to the popularity of the show, it was picked up for a second series which began transmission on CITV from 6 November 2005.
[citation needed] In 2006 the show was nominated for a children's BAFTA for Best Animation; however, it lost to The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers.
Arthur, usually accompanied by Merlin, will set off on a quest which sometimes included other people to gain the item required.
He is beset by numerous dangers before finally reaching his goal, however something will always ruin it or its effects and Guinevere will never be pleased, or if she is, soon after she will be displeased.
The show uses a stock series of characters drawn from the popular reception of the Arthurian Legend, and whose most notable features demonstrate the influences of 20th century, rather than medieval incarnations of the knights.
