Knights of Camelot - Marchin On

>> To save Camelot, Sir Lancelot sacrificed himself and vanished behind the veil of the netherworld – now, he’s back. “Lancelot du Lac,” a new episode of MERLIN, airs this Friday at 10 p.m. ET/PT, only on Syfy Dark and intense, often lushly romantic and achingly tragic, “‘Lancelot du Lac’ is one of the best episodes MERLIN has ever produced,” writes Digital Spy, an assessment with which series executive producer and co-creator Johnny Capps says he agrees. “There are lots of episodes I love in this season, but one of my absolute favorites is when Lancelot returns,” Capps says. “The mechanics of the storyline required quite a bit of working out, and we had lots of arguments along the way. But in the end, I was really pleased with the story, and I was very impressed with the central performances – they are absolutely superb. Santiago has turned into such a fine actor, and Bradley (James as Arthur) puts in a storming performance.” The episode offers grand, sweeping passion – and stunning betrayal. As an actor, “Lancelot du Lac” provided memorable challenge, says Katie McGrath, who plays Morgana. “It was the best script I’d ever read – an extremely fairy-tale-like story that captures the Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot love triangle, and also feels like a true ensemble piece,” she explains. Then, McGrath adds with a laugh and a smile worthy of Morgana herself: “Plus, you get to see Santiago Cabrera naked, which is wonderful.” She pauses. “Better yet, naked and under my control!” <<

Not sure if you've seen these, but here are the Knights of the Not-So-Round Hot Tub from my Merlin household in the Sims 3, plus Arthur, Gwen and Merlin.

What has changed on the set during season 4? Now Arthur is surrounded by a crowd of knights and it changes the atmosphere on set. I am delighted to be surrounded by all these tough guys and who all have a great sense of humor. We are a 'sacred' team. When I celebrated my birthday, they all came to London and we spent a day and an amazing night. Tom Hopper who plays the role of Perceval came especially from Liverpool for a few hours so that the whole gang was reunited. We are all great friends now and it shows in the series. We work hard, but it we also take our time laughing.

Tom: When Eoin takes his trousers off. Usually. Ade: Yeah, he likes getting undressed.

Adetomiwa Edun and Tom Hopper, who star in BBC fantasy series Merlin, based on the legends of King Arthur and the wizard Merlin, will be there.

They are fitting in the visit before filming for the fifth series gets under way in March.

Edun, who plays Gwen’s brother Sir Elyan, and Hopper, who plays gentle giant Sir Percival, will take to the stage for a question and answer session at the show at Telford International Centre and will be signing autographs for fans.
