Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In this off beat account of King Arthur's quest for the Grail, virtually every journey, battle or adventure, is stopped dead in its tracks by the knights of the round table's most worldly traits--cowardice, greed, idiocy or misplaced chivalry. As a consequence, instead of epic adventures, we are treated with the characters' pragmatic and anachronistic take on each and every event in the Grail legend, true to the purest sitcom tradition.

| Trivia | The director, Alexandre Astier, cast his parents, Lionnel Astier and Joëlle Sevilla, as Guinièvre's parents. He cast his half-brother Simon Astier as Guinièvre's brother (so that Lionnel and Simon, who are father and son, play father and son). He cast Simon's mother, Josée Drevon, as Arthur's mother Ygerne. Since Alexandre Astier plays Arthur, he is thus surrounded by his own family. He and his father look so much alike that the comic book artist Steven Dupré had to make Léodagan (Lionnel's character) look fatter so that he would not be confused with King Arthur. See more » |
| Goofs | For most of the round table scenes in the earlier seasons (the ones with a strong sitcom feel and budget), during the wide shots, the knights are spaced out a lot more than in the close-ups showing two characters, because the characters need to be seated closer to each other in order to both fit in the frame. This happens dozens and dozens of times. See more » |

| Quotes |
Père Blaise:
Ok, this is how it sounds "Chevaliers Perceval and Karadoc boldy boarded the boat, slew the giant serpent and were welcomed back to the village as heroes". How's that? Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: Good. Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: Except we didn't get on a boat. Père Blaise: What then? Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: Nothing. We were at the edge of the lake. I just took off my boots. Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: We had water up to our knees. Arthur, roi de Bretagne: And the giant serpent attacked you at the edge of the lake. Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: Yes. Arthur, roi de Bretagne: In that much [about three feet] Arthur, roi de Bretagne: water. Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: Yes. Arthur, roi de Bretagne: How big was this giant serpent? Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: About this long [about two feet] Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: . Arthur, roi de Bretagne: So basically you caught an eel. Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: It's the smallest ones you have to watch out for. Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: They're fast. Arthur, roi de Bretagne: The villagers welcomed you back as heros? Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: They're overrun by eels. Catching one does them a favour. Arthur, roi de Bretagne: You're not fish wardens! Père Blaise: So will you be going back? Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: It's a long way. Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: 40 days to get there. Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: The same to get back. Arthur, roi de Bretagne: The time you were away three months it was that? Père Blaise: I don't know how I'm gonna make this sound good. See more » |
