Do we need an introduction to this guy?
Together: No. *laughter*
Hello. Um...oops, too close.
My name's Colin Morgan.
When I was 5 years old I really wanted to be an actor. In 5 years time, I really hope I'm still an actor.
Hello.
HelloOoo.
*laughter*
Is that everyone? I can't see.
Have you got to the point where you feel like you need to adopt a disguise adopt a disguise?
Adopt a disguise? Well, I wear a lot of beanie hearts anyway.
Big ones.
Yeah, ones that cover my face.
Around with sunglasses.
Yeah *laughs*
And a false beard.
Yeah, just all that. That's all. *laughs*
What's the reaction from the american audience been like?
Last year, when you were doing your thing on the main stage, a woman next to me almost definitely shouted:
"Colin you're adorable!" *laughs*
Merlin has a very English accent doesn't he, Colin? Yours is uh, you're from Northern Ireland, aren't you?
Uh, yeah yeah, I get possessed whenever I'm filming.
*Bradley laughs*
It's endless the amount of people who's working on this and um...
He's not really magic.
And you get hassle from people like that!
Good day, sir. Safe passage!
Yeah, sure.
I need two hands.
We've all been in coach 5 and Katie's been in coach 16 and she's just caught up with us.
You're here!
No, I'm going somewhere else(!)
...greeted me that made me suspi-*stutters*
...that made me suspic-
*Richard laughs*
...when he was telling his story, I sensed it and the way he greeted me that made me *stutters*
Fan: Who would win in a fight between Morgana and Merlin?
Katie: Morgana definitely.
*Angel laughs*
Katie: Without a shadow of a doubt.
Katie: Got no answer there, do ya?
Colin: Don't hurt me! *laughter*
Kid: Are you from Merlin?
*laughter*
Colin: From Merlin himself, yes!
*everyone laughs*
Bradley: This is this is an example of what I have to put up with:
Myself and colin on horseback and we had to do a scene where to go through a rain machine
and someone goes, I think it was Carol, went
"Aww, poor Colin!"
*Colin laughs*
Bradley: I'm right here!
Colin: *imitates with English accent* Oh, Colin are you alright?
Um, yeah, um, maybe I need a towel.
*Bradley laughs*
Colin: Just one though.
Bradley: *imitates Colin* I need a towel and a hot water bottle.
He's the mane man.
Bradley: Ugh... Colin: The mane! The mane! The mane?
Bradley: Why don't I show you?
*Colin and the crew laugh*
Alex: Here come all the topless knights.
Colin: That's one hell of a party.
Every character I play I have a playlist for.
So I'll go on spotify or something and choose any kind of music that's going to get me
into that environment and in the end we actually had a Living and the Dead playlist.
*laughter*
Available on Amazon. *laughter*
Colin: Where am I gonna hide? *gasps*
I'm going to make him wish he was never born.
Colin: There I am! *laughs*
Interviewer: If you were really Merlin for a day, what would you do with your power?
I am really Merlin.
Director: If Colin's on set, he says "I wanna do a cartwheel here" and we're going "Go onnnn then"
Colin: Let's do it.
I'll be gutted if we don't get to see this library like...I mean...
That sounds like a really nerdy thing to say but...*laughs*
If I could invent a spell? I don't know, I feel like saying something really noble like you know, "cure world hunger"
but that would just be really cheesy, wouldn't it?
I don't know, I guess anything that can help people I suppose, anything that can bring a certain amount of happiness in any way.
I don't know, I'm going to be really cheesy, the show is our spell, we bring the happiness to you.
Crowd: Aww.
Hopefully.
Cheese.
Working for a day?
If you were king for a day.
Oh, if I was king for a day...um...
King of the...of the world?
Interviewer: Of course.
Alright. Alight, calm down.
I've got high expectations.
Peace process.
Peace, there we go. Nice one, world peace. Print that one out.
Director: This is your favourite scene Col, do you remember?
Colin: *laughs* We shot this in about 5 minutes, didn't we? Director: I know!
Director: Colin was like "You can see me listening for a plane!" *laughter*
I was wondering which magical creature in Merlin y'all would want as a pet?
Katie: Merlin. *laughter*
*cheering*
There's been stories yeah, I mean the sound crew did put a microphone in the kitchen to record
overnight and they did pick up some stuff.
Um, I don't know, could be a moth.
Could be a ghost! *laughs*
Director: *gasps* That horse loved you.
Colin: It did!
Director: That horse really loved you, look it's rubbing it's head up and down.
*Colin laughs*
Director: I really just wanted to hang on it and my editor went "No,
look Alice, you can't just hang on the horses like loving Colin"
Host: Now Colin, I don't want to interrupt your filming or anything...
*Crowd laughs*
Host: All right, so Merlin had made an incredible journey over the past number of years...
Colin: Yeah.
*Crowd laughs*
What kind of fruit would you be?
*They laugh*
Fruit?! There's a carrot there!
And what's that?!
Which fruit would you be, Colin?
I'd be a dragon-fruit. *They laugh*
I don't really like filming stuff.
*Crowd laughs*
Fan: Clearly!
Merlin never gets a love or if he does they kill him or her
You know, do you know what I mean? Like his father's gone, his friend's gone...
Any body that comes into Merlin's life that means something to him
or that he loves is killed of! *Crowd laughs*
Producer: Life's hard.
Colin: It's true, you don't wanna see me happy.
Anthony: I could introduce you to a good troll.
Colin: Yeah? *Crowd laughs*
I hear they're good kissers so...
*Everyone laughs*
Be careful with your wine, you know what you're like. One whiff of a barmaid's apron and
you're singing like a sailor.
Katie: And that's true in real life!
*They all laugh*
Bradley: That is actually true. Colin: I don't drink!
Bradley: The evidence was the wrap party.
Colin: I don't drink at all, what are you talking about?
*Angel laughs*
Colin: Sorry, I'm opening a bottle of wine.
Bradley: A bottle of wine Colin's opening up.
Angel: With a plastic screw-top.
Katie: Classy.
Colin: Classy.
Colin: Don't drink, kids.
Bradley: Talking about the wrap party, where you drank a considerable amount.
Colin: Of water. Katie: But still held it together and was still a gentleman by the end of it.
It will be like magic!
Yeah listen, you're not Merlin now, alright?
No, you're a moggie. *Crowd laughs*
Bradley: And this is the Brecon Beacons and the coldest I've ever been in my entire life
I was early March, it threw it down, Colin can't use his mouth properly. *Katie laughs*
We had to do a load of takes because no one could understand what Colin was saying.
Do you think that we should be goi- *messes up line*
If i'm entirely honest when you're working with Colin, it
pains me to say it but he makes you a better actor. *Crowd awws* You go in at this level and
he's like there and you know you've got to push it so anytime I have a scene with him
I know i'd come out better than i usually am because he's quite ridiculously talented.
*Crowd laughs and cheers*
It's great, I love the episodes where Merlin gets a friend um, and who doesn't die.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
*Sings* We're gonna die, we're gonna die.
Interviewer: I noticed you have a very brave role in this scene.
Yes I do, I have a very brave role in the scene uh, Merlin really helps out in here he's
probably the key figure in in defeating the bandits I would say and um...
yeah without without Merlin's help here surely everyone would be dead I think.
Interviewer: Do you do any stunts yourself do you?
Oh I do all my stunts in the show.
Interviewer: In this particular scene do you do your own stunt?
Yeah, yeah, I'm doing my own stunts and there's been um
A previous scene with uh, with the rabbits.
And this was actually a vicious rabbit that actually tried to,
tried to attack me, but they've cut the scene I think from the episode which is
a bit of a pain because it was actually quite dramatic and Merlin had to bring a lot of scenes in
so it's not good.
Interviewer: So that's your lunch rather than you being its lunch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
*He laughs*
Interviewer: Thanks a lot, mate. Colin: No probs.
Bradley: That chicken! Angel: That chicken was really friendly.
Bradley: That chicken was on set. Colin: The whole time!
Katie: And it went where it want as well, you couldn't control the chicken.
Colin: I bet you it really missed us when we left.
Angel: Yeah I bet it did, poor little chicken.
Colin: *imitating* Oh, back to talking to the pigs.
Angel: Aww. Is that what they sound like, chickens? Colin: Yeah.
Right, I'm gonna close my eyes and whoever wants to ask the question screams the loudest...
*Crowd starts screaming* Wait, wait, wait, wait...
Okay, after three. One, two, three...
*They scream*
That was you definitely! *Crowd laughs*
That's impressive. Frick the dragon call I'm doing that now.
It's Merlin's new dragon call! *They laugh*
*He screams*
Bradley: What are you doing here this evening?
Setting him on fire.
Bradley: You're a murderer.
Yes.
Um, however I think it's going to justify this time,
HE'S GONNA BURN.
Sorry, he's gonna burn.
Graham: Now see, all these questions are nuts. Mary from Shepperton: When was the last time your rode a horse?
*They laugh*
Graham: I can only apologize. *Colin laughs*
Colin: Well, I rode one here.
Graham: It's outside. Colin: Yeah, it's waiting for me.
Graham: You'll be going in the pride march with it later. Colin: Exactly, that's the plan.
The storm is coming.
*They laugh*
That's my sentence.
Interviewer: That's it? That's your tagline?
Bradley: *American accent* The storm is coming!
Colin: Not from X-Men.
Bradley: Wow.
That's what I was thinking of.
The weather gets really bad in Camelot.
Colin: *laughs* Yeah, rains all the time.
THE STORM'S COMING!
*They laugh*
Depends how you say it!
Colin: I asked two kids after the screening, I said
"What scene did you really like" and they go
*English accent* "Uh, the bit where Arthur dumped the armor on the table"
*Bradley laughs*
Colin: And I was like, there was gargoyles and battles!!
Bradley: Colin doing his homework.
It's kind of annoying actually because anytime the sun comes out, I have somebody come along with
an umbrella to block the sun rays so I don't get burned because you can't have me looking tanned in
in one scene and then pasty Irish boy in the next.
Bradley: Colin's been told off and ordered to move out of the sun into the shade because he keeps getting a tan.
