Here's another shot from the same play. He doesn't really have a terribly hairy chest but there's enough there for my liking ;-D

Merlin/Colin needs to get his top OFF in Series 5 so we can compare!

Oh I so agree! However, when asked by fans during the filming of Season 4 if we'd ever get to see a shirtless Merlin again, the J's emphatically said, "No ( ... )

Well if your mind is wandering where I think it's wandering, I have read eyewitness reports that the testosterone already got there. Colin did do a nude scene in a live play already and it was agreed upon by those who'd seen that nature seems to have blessed the man with "a third leg". (edit: had to correct that quote)

Now, married woman, have those thoughts!! *laughs all evil like*

I doubt BBC got complaints about his slimness when he appeared shirtless in Episode 1 because he wasn't that skinny then. He lost a lot of weight after that. Season 2 was definitely his anorexic looking days. (I sometimes speculate if he was new to vegetarianism at that point and was still learning how to get a proper balance of calories & nutrients into his diet. I've seen many a first time vegetarian's weight plummet until they learn the ins and outs of the diet and what suits them.)By Season 3 he was looking more filled out and well hell, by Season 4, he was looking OMFG Good!

He's been vegetarian since he was at university, if not before. I think he slimmed down to play a druggie in Parked. (Where we see even more of him, and wet too. Mmm.

Ah, OK that makes sense. I always wondered why there was such a severe loss between Season 1 & 2. I didn't know when he went veggie and like I said, I have seen friends plummet their weight before figuring out how to do it properly. I actually gained weight on a vegan diet but I am a metabolic freak. Any way you slice it though, I am glad he is looking so much healthier! And hotter...

Someone else pointed out that this was around the time he played a drug addict in Parked so he probably deliberately lost the weight for that. I'm sure his work-load didn't help though!

Yeah, sadly it does (I say sadly because no one should look that good while they also look that anorexic) but I have to say, I like him filled out like he was in Season 4, whoa, baby! Hotttt!!

Sorry my sweet, we may actually get a magical reveal but the J's said we will NOT get a Merlin skin reveal.

I think we'll have to hope he does another project to show off that new muscle in another venue, one where they don't do their best to try and hide how effing hot the man is!

Yep, very recently, it was during Season 4 (still filming but I think already airing in the UK.) They were answering fan questions in an interview and the question went along the lines of "we've seen all the other guys with their shirts off, are we ever going to see Colin without his?" They gave a very emphatic "No." And they didn't even do their coy little, "We'll see." kind of thing. No evasions, no hemming and hawing. They said, no. My heart broke and I hated them just a little for that...

*looks at icon* That apparently is the only shirtless Merlin we will ever get. *sniffles*
