Wissenswertes
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.

Patzer
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.

Zitate
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.

Addictive comedy

This is one of the best comedies I've ever seen. As a translator, I'd be hard-pressed to put this into English - it pushes the envelope to the limit in its own language. The wordplay is amazing.

Each episode is about 3.5 minutes (!), over 6 seasons. In the first three seasons, the episodes are stand-alone, with a few seeds planted for the story arcs that arise in the 4th and 5th, which take a serious turn while remaining funny. I haven't yet seen season 6. Every episode, very intelligently written, has us coming back for the next (for the time being, they can be seen on YouTube).

A humorous take on Arthurian legend, other than Père Blaise, the Roman-educated Arthur is the only erudite person in Kaamelott. He's surrounded by a bunch of "billes", "marteaux", "clodos" and what not, who exasperate him with primitive values and general ineptness, a misuse of the language, and misunderstanding of the simplest instructions.

Each character is distinct from the others. Perceval, for example, is an idiot-savant who simply can't get an instruction right. Leodagan, Arthur's father-in-law, is the irascible knee-jerk rule-by-force male member of the "couple infernal" in which he's married to the shrew Dame Seli. Their battles are legendary. Their daughter, Guenevièvre, is the twit who's married to Arthur. Their son Yvain is a lazy oaf whose best friend, Gavain, is not much better. Bohort is a febrile coward whose face is always contorted with tension, Merlin is addle-pated, the Lady of the Lake is visible only to Arthur, which Arthur can't get others to understand, and so on.

Despite all this, it's quite faithful to the actual legend and the story manages to build up a lot of tension as well as tenderness through season 5. It has earned an ardent following in France and Canada. If you have any understanding of French, you gotta see it, otherwise, you might find some episodes with English subtitles on YouTube.
