Q&A: Merlin's Bradley James

Mariam, Canada on February 8th, 2010
omgg, i love this show. but i think, like most other people, that the arthur&gwen relationship was rushed. they hadnt even ended the relationship between arthur and morgana yet. and then the thing i really dont get is why gwen gets with lancelot! ...while her relationship with arthur was still going. omgggg.. but its still an awesome show. and i reallyyy want arthur to find out about merlin's powers already!! cant wait for the 3rd season to come out.. i cant believe its coming in september!!! so far awayy.

I agree with everyone who said the Arthur/Gwen relationship seemed too rushed and forced for them. I was looking forward to seeing the Arthur/Morgana dynamic unfold before Arthur/Gwen started and unfortunately that didn't seem to happen in series 2. Overall I love the show, I just wish they had taken their time with Arthur/Gwen and let Arthur/Morgana unfold naturally before moving on

I adore this series too much & cant wait for the moment of Merlin revealing his power plus the r/ship built up between ARWEN is beautiful. "the man i am inside"....Arthur is heading to the right direction as Gwen by his side & I really2 wish that their romance blooms beautifully.

I really do love this series. Bradley James fits Prince Arthurs role perfectly. I like how theyre building on the dynamic between Gwen and Arthur in the second series, and the trials Merlin faces not revealing his powers. Overall, its great. I hope they go a long ways with this series:) Oh and awesome interview! Had all the right words at the right time. All the best to you Bradley!

I love Bradley and yeah, i don't really like Gwen. I think they went away from the origonal legends too much with her, however, on the plus side they could stray away from the beaten path completeley and create a whole new character for Arthur to marry and let Gwen get off with Lancelot. and you know, i think if they did that i should be hired to play the girl he ends up with, you know to "save" other women from having to kiss him lol.... no? ok, well, a girls gotta dream! Love the show sooo much!!!!! xxx

Maria, England on November 23rd, 2009
Awwww Bradley is just so adorable! I wish that Arthur would find out about Merlin soon but I dont think that will happen for at least another series ... and there prob will be another, I think the show is sold in scores of countries and it fills in the Dr Who slot ... so yeah should be renewed. Not to mention how sweet aand yummy Colin and Bradley are! Not to keen on the Arthur/Gwen thing ... never really liked Gwen, even in the original legend. Hopefully they wont move that one on too quickly. Love the show!

I don't think there will be a spectacular event when Merlin reveals his powers. Arthur already knows-he's just in denial. Gwen and Arthur are so cute together. Morgan la Fay-er, Morgana- and Arthur look like a Fairytale couple, the King and Queen of the noble prince off to find his true(and often "un-noble") true love. They wouldn't really love each other, they'd just be friends; stage props in the background of their child's fairytale. Finally, Uther needs to drink some poisoned wime while Merlin and Gaius are away...ARTHUR SHOULD BE KING NOW! Gwen can fix whatever personality disorders he has-she's done it already!

I prefer him to be with Merlin

T.J. Martina on September 25th, 2009
Arthur and Merlin all the way!

Merian on September 25th, 2009
hehe looks like Bradley more entusiastic talking about Arthur and Merlin banter when about Arthur and Gwen romance. i love that Bradley and Colin good friends off set too chemistry and dynamic between them makes me enjoy this show soooo much

Radha on September 25th, 2009
Arthur and Gwen too soon and too quick in my opinion.

Kathy on September 25th, 2009
im just happy to know that will be more Arthur and Merlin banter in upcoming episodes. their are so funny together dont like the Arthur and Gwen couple. feels so forced for me. Arthur didnt knew about her existence all 1 season, and here 1st episode BUMP Gwen falls on top of him, shows some tits and Arthur in Love with her. WTF!!!

Chloe, Annoymous. on September 24th, 2009
I definetly think arthur and gwen all the way. I think it's sweet! ^^ i think morgana and merlin would make a very cool couple lol. I wanna find out :)

Louise, Glasgow, Scotland on September 24th, 2009
Best line of this video "It's a little bit creepy but not quite incest" haha Arthur & Gwen all the way plus Katie McGrath said Morgana & Arthur have more of a sibling relationship anyway. Throw Merlin in and make a love triangle!!

Anna, Texas on September 21st, 2009
morgana and arthur please

Fassal, Birmingham, England on September 20th, 2009
what about morganaxmerlin?? that would be interesting!! and pretty funny

Cheryl, Nova Scotia, Canada on September 20th, 2009
I love the series, can't wait for the second season to start. I hope Arthur is with Gwen!

Christy, United States on September 20th, 2009
I understand they need to pave the path towards Arthur and Gwen, but the the chemistry that he has with Morgana is too hard to ignore I think. I kind of hoped for a tragic love story here but I guess they need to keep it family-oriented. Looking forward to more Arthur and Merlin banter thought!

Tiffany, Australia on September 19th, 2009
Got hooked on this series the moment it aired in Australia! Arthur&Gwen all the wayyy! such a cute couple ! cant wait for season 2 to airr ~ haha im all for more seasons :P

Tracey, Rhyl, North Wales! on September 18th, 2009
Series 3!!! YES PLEASE!!! Happy thoughts indeed!!! xTx

Sarah on September 18th, 2009
Arthur and Merlin together forever.. just watched trailer N3 of Merlin season 2 favorite scene: Arthur: "NOTHING Could ever happen between us!" Merlin: "When you're king, you can change that." slash slash slassshh ALL THE WaY!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

Alex, Essex on September 17th, 2009
Great interview with Bradley James (Arthur). Not giving too much away , but I think this series is going to be really interesting and I am pleased that it is going to run for another 13 episodes again (I think...) I wish that more progames could extend to that long , like american shows.

Millie, Australia on September 17th, 2009
Gwen and Arthur all the way. I never liked the idea of Arthur with Morgana

Dolce on September 17th, 2009
wowowow Bradley look a bit tired! but funny and hot as ussual :) Merlin season 2. I know! WOW! I am excited... talking about chemistry between characters.. undoubtly Merlin and Arthur relationship dynamic is the most electrifing and interesting in this show. I whould say... their chemistry makes this show one of my favorites.. and I am so Happy to hear Bradley himself mentioning that. Arthur and Gwen... hm.. let's wait and see... in 1st series they had only few moments together

Jessica, Clifton on September 17th, 2009
To me the best news from the interview is that there will be more Arthur & Merlin banter, they are both so funny together, truly hilarious! The rat stew scene is one of my favourites ;) Sounds like Arthur still won't find out about Merlin's powers, that's disappointing and annoying! Arthur's feelings of betrayal and the conflict he must experience by having to choose his father's or Merlin's side - that I would very much have liked to see. Arthur and Morgana, definitely! Gwen is sweet but boring & plain. Keep hypocritical revengeful tyrant Uther around for a while, Arthur is not ready to be king yet. Very much looking forward to series 2! Hail the royal prat & his sorcerous servant :)

Donna, Herts on September 16th, 2009
It's all about Merlin and Arthur in my book. Look forward to seeing the darker side of Morgana tho! And Arthur's lead up to being King too.

Dominique, Rio de Janeiro on September 16th, 2009
Morgana of course... Arthur/Gwen will come out of nowhere, just like Harry/Ginny in Harry Potter.. They only had like, 1-2 scenes, in the last, episode!!!! Arthur/Morgana is far more interesting!

Paul, London on September 16th, 2009
Forget the 'Gwen or Morgana' dilemma; Arthur and Merlin all the way!

Ross on September 16th, 2009
There's plenty of time for him to marry Gwen and become the most famous cuckolded in the history of humanity. For now I want to enjoy his love story with Morgana, his soulmate (did anyone read The Road to Avalon? Firelord? The Third Magic? The High Kings? The Mists of Avalon? Do it. Gwen's true love was Lancelot, and Morgana was Arthur's soulmate. End of the story)

Sarah on September 16th, 2009
gwen/arthur forever!!!!!!!! morganas rly pretty too...merlin/morgana!

Ste on September 15th, 2009
I was at the premier screening aswell; the first episode is awesome, and the q&a segment afterwards was really funny. "..Gwen or Morgana?"?? ... Everyone knows the answer to this question is Merlin!

farmgirl, Iowa on September 15th, 2009
Thankyou so much for these interviews! It's really getting me excited for the series premier!

Harriet, England on September 15th, 2009
I love the fact all the Merlin crew are so articulate and well spoken. :)

Claire, USA on September 15th, 2009
I like Morgana and Arthur together. I think they have more chemistry and their storyline is really interesting. I'd like to see them get together, but of course have Arthur end up with Gwen.

Claire, Kent on September 15th, 2009
I definitely prefer Arthur and Morgana. Fabulous chemistry and I love the slight antagonism in their relationship. I can understand why they need to head to Arthur/Gwen but can't they steer him back in the direction of Morgana later on down the line? After all, in the legend, she's the one who takes him to Avalon.

Carla, Dereham on September 15th, 2009
....yeah but they're NOT related are they? They were in the legend!!!

Carla, Dereham on September 15th, 2009
definatley Morgana, there's chimestry ther, I don't care what anyone says!!

Diane, NJ on September 15th, 2009
Poor Bradley looks like he needs some rest. I know he works very hard and all that swordplay must take a lot out of him. I liked what he had to say about his relationship with the other cast members. As for Arthur learning about Merlin's magic, I think most of us are wanting that! Sooner than later! I'm enjoying the interviews so far. The cast of Merlin are just so much fun to listen to.

Graeme, Dunfermline on September 15th, 2009
Bradley looks like he's not had much sleep!
