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 Bradley, after playing a knight for so many years, have you ever invoked your knightly chivalry off set?
Katie: He held the door open for me once. That was nice.
Bradley: Um, I would say I was an incredible chivalrous man anyway, so that's why I was given the part [all laugh] - due to my natural level of chivalrous-ness. It's widely known actually. Throughout the lands.
Now finally, you've been doing this for hours today -
Bradley: We've been doing this for days [laugh].
So you've been doing this for days. Is there any completely obscure or random question you had a prepared answer for that no one has asked?
Katie: Well now see this is good because this means you've asked the perfect question for each of us without actually asking us the question - that's very smart. We've been doing these interviews for, at least what, 7-8 hours today? So there aren't a lot of questions that haven't been asked.
Bradley: I'd say that all the questions so far today that have surprised us have been the ones we have enjoyed answering. But then - it's difficult for you guys because you're up against all these people today - how on earth are you supposed to come up with an original question? It's a tough task! That - in itself -
Katie: Is a pretty good question!
Bradley: Is a relatively original question! Congratulations! [laughs]
Merlin airs on SyFy in America on January 4th at 10/9c. To see the cast's take on season 5, check out the rest of the interview!
