That varies from version to version. In Malory, Uther dies within two years of Arthur's fostering, after naming Arthur his heir in front of Merlin and all the nobles. "THEN stood the realm in great jeopardy long while" till Arthur's old enough for Merlin to tell the Archbishop of Canterbury to convene the tournament of the sword in the stone. But in White (and in Gadzikowski), Uther doesn't die till Arthur's fifteen and old enough to assume the throne. In Bradley and Stewart, Arthur is even acknowledged by Uther and gets to spend a little time with him before he dies.
I knew Smallville in Logres Merlin was coming but I didn't know it was debuting so soon. I suppose I'll have to wait till it shows up on BBCAmerica to see it. Or ... maybe if I tell qtrhorserider that Tony Head's in it, she'll find downloads for it - same as she downloads Doctor Who because David Tennant's in it ...
