merlinlocations | Pierrefonds: day two; probably still not quite what you're after...

Bonsoir, Merlin fans!

Well, we had a lovely day at the Chateau today, and as you'll have already seen, one of the real highlights was being hipstamatised by DoP hero Dale McCready... ♥

I took rather more photos today! Heaps of Nathaniel Parker, as a favour for someone I met via flickr. Many of Dale, some of Julian, and some of goth!girl Katie.

We had glimpses of Colin, Bradley, Angel and Richard - we even got a wave from dear Richard! - along with Eoin and Rupert. But again most of the filming involving the main cast was taking place inside. A long day was had in the throne room, while we watched evil ninja knights marching around the courtyard.

The biggest shock of the day was...

MAJOR SPOILER!!!

Merlin has a fine new coat. It was so bizarre to see him dressed up a bit... I kind of thought, 'Colin! No, it can't be. But, Colin! What the hell is going on with the coat...?' I used to wish the poor lad would get a costume upgrade, but now it just seems a bit wrong. :-)

So again, I don't have very much chat or news, but here's a sampler of photos. The rest you can find on my flickr account.

Julian seemed to be doing some directing - and when he wasn't, he was doing producer things, like taking important phone calls.

Dale was shining like a ray of Antipodean sunshine... ♥

I liked the conjunction of the evil ninja knights and the pretty potted plant...

The lovely Nathaniel Parker. I am really looking forward to seeing what he brings to the show.

I am told Nat loves horses, and he certainly seemed comfortable riding this one, even though it was rather frisky.

Look, anything I say here will be completely inappropriate. Apples just have that effect on me... :-) Katie was done up very Goth!

The Throne Room was well lit, and Bradley and Angel were in there all day. Alas, I cannot report more!

Amusing myself while we were sitting on the steps, as recorded for posterity by Dale! :-D

And that's about it for the day. I hope I have more to report tomorrow, but unless there's something happening in the courtyard, it may be slim pickings again.
