Torrent description

Woman's Hour Drama: The Quest 24-08-2009 - 28-08-2009

A surreal, humorous and moving allegorical retelling of Thomas Mallory's Morte d'Arthur, starring Mark Gatiss as Merlin and Julian Rhind-Tutt as Arthur.

In a 15th-century Britain that resembles the Favellas of Rio, Arthur is Merlin's protégé; but the magician despairs – human frailty has defeated Utopia.

Arthur's impregnation of his half sister Morgana haunts Camelot in the person of Mordred, who is his mother's lover and scourge to his father. The court of the "Round Table" is decadent. Arthur invents the "Grail Quest" to bring purpose to his knights and rebuild his reputation in a tortured land. The knights emerge into a world that hates them. Some are hacked or stoned to death.

Seeking Glastonbury, Galahad stumbles over the Grail while hiding behind the Spar convenience store in Wells. He and the Grail are taken up to an antiseptic Heaven in an elevator, 15 miles high. Mordred raises an army to defeat his brother/father and delivers Arthur's death blow. The dying Arthur raises Excalibur to throw it into Deptford Creek, but the sword is snatched from his grip by a track-suited teenager. The expiring king, his vision clouding, sees Merlin kicked to death by a gang.

Rooted in Mallory's 14th-century epic, the narrative focuses on the "Grail Quest" and the dubious personal and state politics that surround it.

From The Radio Times

It is an emotional scene. The life of the mortally wounded King Arthur (Julian Rhind-Tutt) slowly ebbs away. Beside his frail body sits the great wizard Merlin (Mark Gatiss), who offers him a vision of the future. He can see Steve Buscemi. He is playing a character called Mr Shhh, the aptly named assassin in the 1995 film Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead. Confused? This might be 15th-century Britain as we've never encountered it before but the surrealism of the drama is remarkably effective. Arthur may try and throw Excalibur into Deptford Creek, only to have it snatched from his grip by a track-suited teenager, but writer Jonathan Holloway has not lost a single iota of the magic and poignancy of Thomas Malory's tale.

-- Jane Anderson

1/5 King Arthur has been mortally wounded, and talks to Merlin as death approaches.

2/5 King Arthur has fallen for the wrong girl; there will be trouble ahead.

3/5 Mordred, the result of King Arthur's ill-judged frolic with his half sister, comes to call.

4/5 Merlin worries he is losing his mind. Star Trek might be to blame.

5/5 Galahad meets an angel and Arthur meets his end.
