I also have not read any of Ehrman's books. He may or may not have been an advocate of the Gnostic gospels, he may have just been reporting what he knew because that is what he does for a living. However, the producers of the show I watched definitely portrayed him as sympathetic.

Here is an article that quotes Ehrman on the matter of The DaVinci Code and Mary Magdalene.

According to this article, he says much of what is portrayed in the book is purely fiction, and seems to say that a lot of what is in the Gnostic gospels about Jesus & Mary Magdalene is also fiction.
