Series 1

Step into the magically mundane world that is the life of 21st century wizard Mordrin McDonald. An isolated 2000-year-old sorcerer with enough power in his small finger to destroy a town, yet not even enough clout to get his bins emptied on time by the local council. Even for such a skilful sorcerer – modern life is rubbish!

About Mordrin

Mordrin is deadpan, dry and makes delicious jams. He initially set up as a plc for income tax relief, but has found it a useful vehicle to help him bolster his skill set and his range of products and services. (Even a wizard has to diversify). He's been running Fruity Potions from his cave for the past few years, in between completing the odd quest as instructed by the Wizard Council. In the past his services were to help kings in battles of good and evil, or as he prefers to put it, “assisting with neighbour disputes.”

He has also done some work with celebrities making spells and potions to help further their careers, but he tries to shy away from this work following the controversy he attracted in the 16th century, when he helped Shakespeare get to where he wanted to be - although Mordrin strongly denies the rumours which claimed that Mordrin wrote King Lear with no input or none at all from the man himself. Mordrin has always been quite adamant that he did not have a hand in writing King Lear, a viewpoint he personally put to the emergency meeting of the Wizards Council when the King Lear Public Enquiry got under way in 1606.

Written by David Kay and Gavin Smith, Mordrin McDonald also features Gordon Kennedy, Jack Docherty, Cora Bissett, Callum Cuthbertson and Eleanor Thom.
