Speaks for itself really...

Merlin season 4 world premiere Q&A and cast pics

Before I go on, there will be no details from the actual episode shown tonight at the BFI except to say it was the first of a two-parter and ended, naturally, on a cliffhanger. We promised to 'keep the magic secret' so you'll just have to enjoy the anticipation a little longer.

So this is the Q&A - as much as I could scribble down and remember that is. From the cast Angel Coulby, Katie McGrath and Colin Morgan all appeared after the screening (see pic right, more at end of post). They had arrived only half an hour before the screening was due to start because of traffic problems and were whisked straight into press briefings.

Bradley was due to attend but is ill and Colin in fact attended in his place having been filming today. Anthony Head is filming in the US and has already shot all his scenes and Richard Wilson was in Cardiff filming but sent a filmed message saying 'hello' and promising to send a few of the minor character along to see us. Such a wag.

They were still finishing the first episode at 2.30pm this afternoon so it was literally the first time the cast and most of the crew had seen it.

Q&A

There is more green screen/CGI work this series which the producers believe gives the series more of an epic feel. Katie apparently spends most of her filming time in a green box and Colin says it takes a lot of imagination as an actor.

Katie says she couldn't play Morgana if she didn't love her and agree with everything she does.

"You do see the vulnerable side to her at the beginning. I didn't want her to be just a boo-hiss villain. Yes she might be a bit misguided!

"With Morgana there isn't anything that would make her happy, it's about revenge. She's hurting and wants revenge"

Series has got darker and Merlin isn't the naive character he was at the beginning - a bit of suspense is what the fantasy genre trades on.
