This is great! The sequence from the freeing of the sword to its reemergence from the lake in Excalibur is seared into my memory. I know what you mean about even skilled actors emphasising the wrong words. You'd think they'd read the chapter through once before recording. However it's good training for listening to Brian the AI who surely deserves to be a 'Brian of Britain'. Another discovery via this blog, thank you.
