Merlin air date speculation: The
rumoured series premiere date for Doctor Who from its BFI screening last night is 1 September, with the 5th episode therefore airing on 29 September before it goes on break. This still does not discount a possible 29 September air date for Merlin, if Merlin and Doctor Who will air on the same night
as they did last year and if Merlin were to finish before Christmas.
