I've still not seen Camelot on Starz, but the show (which was not renewed for a second season) will be released next month on DVD. It seems to be a rise of Arthur storyline (rather like BBC1's Merlin). Here are some of the promotional videos produced for the series:
Sponsored by The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain, the "Matter of Britain on Screen" blog is designed as an aid to explorations of the transformations undergone by the Matter of Britain as it is translated to film, television, and related electronic media, such as games and internet video.
Excalibur is not a thing, something you can hold in your hand.
Excalibur is the good in you.
The power to do good, to stand up for what's right, to slay dragons, to capture bank robbers.
You always carry Excalibur in your heart.
Robert Tinnell, Kids of the Round Table (1995)

Arthurian TV Update
I'm woefully behind on keeping the blog up tp date (for example, there's nothing yet on Starz's Camelot, out on DVD next month), but readers should be aware of upcoming Arthurian programming this month both on SyFy and Chiller. Details are on the Medieval Studies at the Movies blog and can be accessed by clicking the preceding links.
