well, let's view the facts before we entertain fiction or fantasy. Bradley and Colin just finished shooting season1. Bradley is 25yrs and Colin not yet 23yrs. The BBC/producer sent them away together with a cameraman and probably some other staff. We see the hotel and they share a room which would make sense. Whoever authorised this probably considered it beneficial if the two actors who are going to share the most scenes together in the show got some bonding time. If they get along fine (or better) the show will surely benefit. Did it work? Everyone can see the result on the screen for the next 4 seasons. I'd say it was a smashing success.

[@wynflaeth]

@@granville7 I doubt very much they 'shared a room'.

[@loveislove8778]

“He’s the reason we’re late” That was the most Arthur thing 😂

1:27 tell me, why is the space next to Bradley in his bed empty?? don't tell me Colin was already up or worse, never slept in that bed and had his own room. he isn't holding the camera obviously because they have a cameraman with them who does all that when they are both in the frame.

Absolutely loved this! I hope Colin and Bradley still look upon this time as something very special for them. Because watching their relationship for five seasons was certainly special to their audience! Thanks guys, for the wonderful show called "Merlin".

[@kitsu3025]

Merlin sounds so different and there's Arthur's sarcastic voice

I'm actually picturing King Arthur reincarnated with Merlin and they just embarked on an epic road trip

They have such good chemistry. I don't think I would have watched the show had they not been cast-no offence to the other talented actors on the show

[@ren-w]

ik that this comment is quite old but I completely agree! They were quite new actors at the time and, from what I know, "Merlin" was the first large role that either undertook. They really had great chemistry - I truly cannot imagine this show without them.

[@chandyoung5574]

Omg they acted like an old married couple in real life too 😂😂😂

[@theodoraX2606]

"And we did some odd things in the dark." Like what, reading "poetry"? :P

[@granville7]

it would all make so much more sense if they did. but 1:27 suggests they didn't even share a hotel room.

Wow, Colin! I was not aware of your Irish accent in real life. I’m from the Upper Midwest (USA) and had a hard time understanding you in this video, but not at all in the series. You are one talented young man to be able to switch accents like that! I’m so impressed.

I keep forgetting that Colin Morgan is Irish - its another David Tennant situation; he's Scottish, but like Morgan very rarely seems to get to use his natural accent. Unlike Tennant, Morgan sounds so different.
