Colin Morgan

Island
- Director's Notes: DN208: Island - Brek Taylor & Elizabeth Mitchell [Colin's called 'sweet' from ~23min, otherwise mainly a podcast about the making of Island]
- Radio BBC Scotland, The Movie Café: interview with Elizabeth Mitchell [from 30:38]
- Island FB note: Some world screening news….. We have been accepted for the Haifa Film Festival in Israel in October and the Singapore Film Festival in September. We aren’t sure yet who will be going along - as soon as we have more details we will let you know. And there's a new competition: We have two original Orly Orbach sketches up for grabs for the most original answer to the following probing question…hopefully one to get you all thinking! When Island comes out on DVD who will you buy it for (other than yourselves of course!) and why? The most original answers will get these rather special prizes.

Nathaniel Parker

Loose Women


Nat was on ITV's Loose Women on June 12th, he mainly talked about Injustice, but briefly mentioned Merlin (no spoilers) and for about 2 seconds they showed a promo pic of him in costume. DebbyHorselover@YT provides the whole interview.

Richard Wilson

The Pride




- Sheffield Telegraph: Wilson has magic between stage and screen
- The Star (different from interview above!): Pride of place for Wilson’s Crucible return Interesting news from this article ’m very lucky in that I make it clear to Merlin I’m going to direct - two plays in Sheffield this year - and they build my schedule around that,” he adds. “So it’s nice to be back.”

Anthony Head

Merlin


TV.com: (Phone) interview with Tony [maybe slightly spoilerish] On their FB wall they wrote on June 10th (day of the phone interview): Just got off the phone from Anthony (really lovely man - sunning himself on a balcony in France, not that we're jealous or anything!). We ended up finishing the interview with a chat about buttocks. See, that's why we need your help to suggest questions! We'll post the interview early next week so you can find out what we're talking about!

Free Agents
gamutnews.com: short behind the scenes clip, blink and you'll miss Tony at the end.

The Iron Lady
According to Indie Wire, the film'll open on December 16th, 2011. The Iron Lady'll see Tony in the role of Geoffrey Howe, alongside Merryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher and Jim Broadbent as her husband Dennis.

Katie McGrath

Irish Tatler


poisonsleep@tumblr posted THIS, I'm not overly familiar with Katie's photo shootings but it seems new to me, does anyone know if it's from the recent Irish Tatler photo shooting/article? Thanks to strandsofmagic for linking the post, where caterpillarduck@tumblr posted the pics above! :D

@jennyhelders: @AliceMerlin is there any chance you'll tell me if the filming in Pierrefonds castle will take place before or after Comic Con France? :) *
@stumpy_juk: @DeLessepsViola all good. Busy filming day today in studio *

June 16th


@dalemccready: Tent City http://hpstm.tc/p/kkjg *
@AliceMerlin: In Arthurs chambers all day. Which makes a nice change to rainy forest. Time to get things prepped for France too. *
@dalemccready: *
@fuckbees: @dalemccready hi! I was wondering why don't you use this hall more? it has wonderful lighting i55.tinypic.com/2rmqq6t.jpg * [They filmed a scene from ep 01.12 in said room but never used it for other scenes again, though they took lots of promo pics with Mackenzie Crook/Cornelius Segun for ep 02.01 there]

Online Games

The Knight's Feast


At SuperRTL's German Merlin site you can play a game called Die große Ritter-Mahlzeit (The Knight's Feast). The Blue Knight, the Red Knight, the Black Knight and the Golden Knight visit Prince Arthur and Merlin's supposed to serve them everything they order [Brot/bread | Hühnchen/chicken | Saft/juice] as quickly as possible.
In order to play click 'Spiel starten' >> 'Los!'
Sadly Arthur and Merlin are nowhere to be seen and I wonder why the knights can see Camelot Castle through the window, did Arthur move out?
