jO5 Mon 05-Nov-12 17:30:24

Nonu Mon 05-Nov-12 17:34:37

Jo , great ! Is he handsome too boot ?

jO5 Mon 05-Nov-12 17:38:04

Bradley James (King Arthur) was there via skype from LA. very good facial expressions

jO5 Mon 05-Nov-12 17:41:04

It was just the two knights, Gawain and Percival, and Mordred, who did signing and photos.

Merlin (Colin Bradley) special guessed for a Q and A session.

She said Colin is very little! (But sweet)

no place for magic in Camelot

So sad!

Nonu Mon 05-Nov-12 17:48:07

So a good time was had by all . smile

It's Arthur's facial expressions that make him so fascinating.

j05 I wasn't sure why Merlin said that. Assume it was because he thought Mordrid had to die to save Arthur and by getting Arthur to refuse the request by the thingies that is what would happen.

But of course his plan backfired.

Incidentally, I'm not sure there is a place in Camelot for magic. Those people 'with magic' do seem to be pretty evil.

jO5 Mon 05-Nov-12 19:29:31

He said it, and was crying, because it means there is no place for him to be fully himself, in Camelot.

And he's getting jealous of Arthur's new found fondness for Mordred.

Merlin's magic is good magic.

Oh I see!

I could see he was wrestling with himself.

He is good, I agree, but what about ...oh dear the name's gone...you know who I mean.....her who scowls all the time and mistreats baby dragons.

Smoluski Mon 05-Nov-12 19:46:45

Would love to see marlin wrestling with himself ...he has got better looking as he has got older ....grin

jO5 Mon 05-Nov-12 19:55:42

Yes, well. Her magic is bad isn't it? Morgana.

Though in the first series she was a right little goodie-goodie. hmm (think she must have got enchanted somewhere along the way grin)

"It’s a huge episode for Gwen and Morgana, who has never been creepier. Merlin uses his magic a lot. In fact, there’s an awful lot of magic all around, including a quite extraordinary enchantment-aided fight scene.”

“How’s the bromance going?”

“Ah, there are plenty great moments of mutual respect between young Merlin and Arthur.”

“The Dark Tower” airs on BBC 1 on Saturday 10 November at 8.05pm magic aplenty

That last bit wasn't supposed to be a link.

I'm not very good at running this fan club.

Ella46 Tue 06-Nov-12 19:28:04

Well, I'm excited anyway! grin

jO5 Sat 10-Nov-12 14:34:33

jO5 Sat 10-Nov-12 14:42:35

Ella46 Sat 10-Nov-12 16:27:53

Oooooerr can't wait. You see it is much better with more magic!
