In a couple of weeks the second series of Merlin arrives on BBC One. As you can see from this freshly-released new cast shot, all of our favourites are back:



There's young Merlin himself (looking as whimsical as ever), Arthur (looking suitably pompous), Gwen (looking downtrodden), Morgana (starting to look a bit scary), King Uther (looking resolutely evil), Gaius (looking p***ed off with life) and that dastardly Dragon (burn, Merlin, burn).

Expect much more of Merlin from us in the coming weeks - meantime, we'll be chilling out with the cast on Sunday so leave any burning questions in the usual place below or on our Twitter.
