Merlin is a (relatively) newish BBC drama series that started in September 2008, starring Colin Morgan and Bradley James.
[b]Series Overview[/b] (taken from Wikipedia)
Merlin is a magician who arrives at the city of Camelot, after his mother arranges for him to become an apprentice of Gaius, the local physician. He discovers that the king, Uther Pendragon, has outlawed magic and has imprisoned the last dragon deep under the city. The dragon informs Merlin that he has an important destiny to protect Uther's son, Arthur, who will bring forth a great Kingdom. When he meets Arthur for the first time he believes that he is arrogant and Arthur views Merlin as subservient, as Merlin has to keep his magic a secret or face execution at the hands of Uther.
[sp]Morgana is Uther's ward and daughter with the power of prophetic foresight, which frightens her and which she keeps secret. Guinevere, whom she calls "Gwen", is her maid servant and close friend. The first series focused on the development of Merlin and his friendship with Arthur. The second series focuses more on development of the other cast members. Some of the central themes of the series are the budding romance between Arthur and Gwen and Morgana's struggle to control her powers, eventually being corrupted by evil due to Uther's actions.[/sp]
TL;DR: Merlin lives in Camelot and is Prince Arthur's servant boy. He is also a magician, but magic is forbidden in Camelot because of King Uther's bad experiences of it. Merlin's guardian, Gaius, is a magician (retired) and also an physician. The King's ward, Morgana, has magical powers as well. There is also a dragon which used to be locked up in the castle.
