Camelot!

King Arthur is not having a great day. His father has just been killed by a dragon, his new wife keeps running off with his best friend, and his half sister wants to get her hands on the throne.

The villagers of Camelot want to know what he's going to do about the terrifying dragon that threatens their homes, but all Arthur wants to do is have a huge coronation party.

Will the evil Morgana and The Green Knight succeed in taking over Camelot?

Will Merlin finally get The Lady of the Lake to return his affections?

Will Arthur remember to put on his underpants?

That one's probably a no.
