Paul Parkes and Will Ashurst co-created the series, which follows and depicts King Arthur's efforts to pursue the beautiful, self-obsessed Princess Guinevere with the aid of the wizard Merlin. The show was renewed for a second season, which began airing on CITV on November6,2005, due to its success. Genevieve Dexter served as Executive Producer for both. During the 2005 Spring season, King Arthur's Disasters was the most popular new CITV program.
