Also in the 90's remake where a football team was pulled back in time/space by Merlin to take the place of a captured Arthur and his knights. That sequence was considerably longer.
The show is (to the best of my, this sites, imdb, and wikipedia's knowledge) not a remake of any previous show.

If I may quote the Viz Comics strip Tommy's Magic Arse:"It isn't magic all the time - only when I speak in rhyme!" Examples include: "An optic aid from up my bum will help you find your canine chum; stick your hand up my behind - a telescope you'll surely find!" and: "From my anus I'll produce a shiny whistle for your use!" Sadly, Tommy was delusional, and all that ever came out of his entirely non-magical arse was what you might expect. It didn't stop him trying though.
