Merlin fights the bandits of Ealdor
Saturday, 22 November 19:25 BBC1
Merlin's mother, Hunith, arrives in Camelot claiming that the village of Ealdor is under threat from the bandit Kanan, who has ordered Hunith and the villagers to give up their harvest - or pay with their lives. But Hunith knows that, without food, they will starve to death.
When King Uther says he cannot help the villagers, Merlin tells Arthur he's unable to be his servant any more - he must go and protect his mother and friends. As he goes to collect some weapons, Gwen and Morgana insist they are coming and, later, Arthur joins the fight, too.
The team arrive to find the village being ransacked by Kanan and his men. Arthur urges the villagers to fight but a friend of Merlin's, William, blames Arthur for riling Kanan and refuses.
Will Merlin be forced to expose his magical abilities to defeat Kanan and save the villagers?
