1 October is Merlin Day!

I'm sure we all know by now that Saturday 1 October is Merlin Day!

The first episode of season four will be broadcast on BBC One from 7:50. Titled The Darkest Hour, it's the first part of an opening double, directed by the wonderful Alice Troughton. I was lucky enough to catch the preview at the BFI, and I was blown away. It's scary and fun and delicious, and the new 35mm film stock amps up the beauty to eleven. ♥

Just to add to the Merlin festivities, don't forget to also watch the season finale of Dr Who, on the same channel from 7:05. Titled The Wedding of River Song, it was directed by our very own Jeremy Webb! ♥

Awesome sauce! What a night…

DVD's set just incase I miss watching it (again) 'live' - family with young children staying.

I totally agree with your description of episode one and I just hope the rest of the series maintains this episodes high quality. Wasn't it great at the BFI.

Just a thought.
As they are using the black/green box more back in Cardiff, maybe there won't be anymore actual locations to go and hunt down *sobs - gets a tissue, stares into space*

Hey there, hon! I hope you enjoyed the second ep as much as I did... Just so utterly awesome!

Well, I suppose we were always going to have fewer new locations to find, one way or another - seeing as they reuse or revisit so many. But I'm sure we've missed some along the way. Plus there'll always be something new to chase down...

Seeing as you're so great about finding streams (well, rivers!) for me... what about the stream where the Knights and Arthur rested and washed their faces after surviving the Tunnels of Andor? It was such a pretty little spot! I have no hopes at all that we'll locate it - unless you'll take it on as a noble Quest. ♥

Waiting has proved to be the hardest part of it all! :-D
