Blue Peter's Helen Skelton works as an assistant director on set of the first series Merlin episode "The Moment of Truth" (Ealdor) for one day. Her duties vary from feeding pigs, draining puddles to serving cookies & tea. But the most important job of an AD is to keep the leading cast quiet during a scene.
Not so easy, when Bradley James (Arthur) has a cold today and is "noisy". We also see Colin Morgan (Merlin) who appreciated Helens attempts as an AD a lot. This episode of Blue Peter first aired 08 October 2008.
