'Merlin' stars keen on second season

Merlin stars Colin Morgan and Bradley James have said they are hopeful that a second season of the BBC One drama will be commissioned.

James, who plays Prince Arthur, told Digital Spy: "I think things look very positive. We seem to be getting fans and as long as there's that demand to produce the show, I hope it will work out. I personally would love to do it, given a rest first!"

"We loved doing the first series," added Morgan, who portrays the titular wizard. "You hope there will be a second series but the reality is, we don't know. It's down to the BBC and if they can afford to do it again, I suppose.

"I'm not sure about the business side of it but on my side of things, I'd be well up for doing it."
