Friar Tuck

A Doctor Who episode had it as Lake Vortigern. AD 793 The Doctor, in an incarnation after his 7th, is the wizard Merlin in an alternate universe where reality is closer to Arthurian myth. At the end of a series of conflicts, King Arthur's nemesis, Morgaine Le Fey is finally {victorious;} Arthur is killed. The Doctor puts Arthur's body and his sword Excalibur in a spaceship which he places at the bottom of Lake Vortigern in his home universe. Morgaine apparently seals the Doctor in the Ice Caves and becomes ruler of her solar system. http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/drwho/modern1.htm May 21 03, 5:02 PM
