Updates Sept 24: Merlin promos, SFTW, Pierrefonds, John Hurt, Anthony Head, and more
Episode 3 promo photos are up at Merlin’s Keep. Warning: contains very spoilery photos! View them at this link.
Something for the Weekend: The show tweeted earlier today that Bradley had to pull out due to illness but through a message to a fan Bradley confirms it was a communication error between the show and that Angel and Colin were expected to appear all along.
An article on the BBC's spendings mention the cost of producing popular shows an hour, Merlin being one of them:
"Popular shows such as Doctor Who, Spooks and Merlin cost around £1million to £1.5million an hour to produce."

Hugo has begun test screening in New York City and Chicago to largely positive reactions, as gathered by Slashfilm in an article. One review says: "Asa Butterfield gives a truly great performance as a young orphan boy living inside the walls of a train station, where he steals parts from a toyshop run by Ben Kingsley in order to fix a machine he had been working on with his father."
John Hurt
