Merlin stars Colin Morgan [Merlin], Bradley James [Arthur], and Katie McGrath [Morgana] phoned us all from all the way from London and we had a wonderful (and often hysterical) chat about saying goodbye to the series, set momentos, real life chivalry, and journalistic originality.
So even with the five-year plan, do you think the story ends where it should?
Katie: Yeah I think it does. It's important when you're telling any story that if you have the option to tell the end that you should and I think its nice to put a full stop after five years and to be able to tell the beginning and tell the ending as well. It's very important.
Bradley: There's a collective contentment on how it finished off. It's something we're happy with and I think the audience will be happy with too.
Speaking of the fans, many have the "bit in the mouth" in regards to the idea of a movie. Would you be on board if it came up?
Katie: [laughs] People are like rottweilers if they get it in their teeth! They hold on to it! For me, I don't know what story we could tell in 2 hours that we didn't already tell in 65 hours of tv. That's my take. But if they come up with one, you know, tell me about it and well see what happens from there.
We had a wonderful fan question for the three of you; they asked if you kept anything from set as a memento after filming was wrapped for the final time?
Bradley: Uh, yeah, Excalibur is going to find it's way into my house pretty soon.
Katie: I was quite lucky that, since my costume didn't really change over the past few years, they had quite a few examples of it so they gave me the oldest and most ratty one - but I did get a version of my costume to keep.
Colin: I have kept a few things, but they are for people, so in case it gets publicized [before I'm ready], I'm gonna wait.
