Re: King Arthur

There is a UK tv series from the 1980s called Knights of God (available quasi-legally on youtube as nobody knows who the rightsholder is anymore) which is a post-apocalyptic re-imagining of the Arthurian myth (before re-imaginings were a thing, when we just called them re-tellings). I recommend it highly, lot of A-grade UK talent in it including Patrick Troughton and Gareth Thomas. It is not so useful as a primer, but for someone who likes the variations on the Arthur myth (or just likes classic British SFF) it is a great watch.

Holy crap, I haven't even glanced at the linked video, but now I'm wondering if one of my favorite YA/kid's King Arthur adaptations was inspired by this at all. Winter of Magic's Return and Tomorrow's Magic by Pamela F. Service are actually more Merlin-centric, but they're set in Britain 500 years in the future (a bet less now, since they were written in the late 1980s or maybe early 90s) when the world is just starting to come out of nuclear winter. But then, there's probably lots of post-apocalyptic King Arthur out there, since he's one of those "the King will return when his kingdom most needs him" types.

Oh man, I loved those books! My local library had a copy of Tomorrow's Magic and I ended up reading it before I had read the first one in the series. Did you know she wrote a third book just a few years ago? I think it's called Earth Magic or something similar.
