So I had the day from hell - car broke down, will probably cost a fortune to fix, work work work work - BUT I come home and find that the lovely
gealach-ros has posted links to "new" Merlin behind-the-scenes
vids My favourite? Bradley and the blow dryer.
He's a pwetty, pwetty princess with a vast amount of knowledge of cockatrices. And he's watched Notting Hill one too many times. It's clear here that Colin is NOT the girl.
Speaking of which, I'm now also convinced that Will Mellor wants him. But then everybody must surely want Bradley.
Also loved Eve Myles saying that she hopes she'll return to Merlin one day... and bring Captain Jack Harkness with her. YES PLEASE!
As the Camelot Express girls have discussed, John Barrowman would make a great visiting sorcerer who seduces Merlin with magic.
Regarding
Mackenzie Crook (Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Office) is announced to guest-star in the opening episode as the creepy Cedric, who is determined to muscle in on Merlin's position as Arthur's right-hand-man - much to Merlin's frustration. "
I believe it can only end in one glorious way...Arthur must grovel for forgiveness and tell Merlin that he is the only manservant for him. At first I was a bit sad that they didn't cast someone hot and creepy (sorry Mackenzie, luv ya!), but I figure it doesn't matter. No matter what, it will lead to a wonderfully slashy Arthur-must-tell-Merlin-he-wants-him-back scene. Le sigh.
Also the TV Gods are well meaning this year...both MERLIN and SPN in early September??
And to finish off this post, a rec...go read the wonderfully funny, steamy and heart-melting
