Trivia:

This show came as a replacement for the hit sitcom "Caméra café" (2001) (created by and featuring 'Yvan Le Bolloc'h' and Bruno Solo) and is produced by the same company, CALT. This came about when Le Bolloc'h and Solo moved their characters from "Camera café" to the big screen and decided to end the TV series, leaving broadcaster M6's access prime time slot empty. Luckily for all involved Kaamelott proved also to be a hit.

Quotes:

Arthur, roi de Bretagne: [to quiet a pack of wolves Arthur has been asked to sacrifice the queen] Stop insisting. I'm not giving you the queen. I've gotten used to her. It's taken long enough and I'm only now becoming able to support her presence. No offence, father-in-law.
Léodagan, roi de Carmélide: I admire you. I never could.

Follows Dies irae (2003)

An Excellent TV Show

I have been watching Kaamelot since it came out. It is probably the funniest TV Show ever made (even compared to the US TV Shows). It describes King Arthur's Legend with great sense of humor and a really nice way of filming it. Don't even think in terms of respecting the history here or you will be disappointed. But my point is this : as old the show gets as old it getting better in terms of content and realization. I've heard that about 15 countries have already bought the project for local diffusion and Ican't do nothing else than encourage people to turn their TVs on whenever that show airs. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
