merlinlocationsPlease be warned that this report and the photos on Flickr now contain some casting (guest and recurring), costume, and prop spoilers. However, I don't name names, and if you're even vaguely familiar with the legends I don't think you'll be overly surprised by the newest prop.
We had a good day today, with a scene being filmed in the courtyard which included horses - always fun! Once again, Arthur (Bradley) was greeting a visitor and his entourage of warriors. Gaius (Richard) was at his right shoulder, and the new recurring fifth season character was at his left - dressed as a knight. The director was Alice Troughton.
There were reports from other fans that the four main knights (Eoin, Rupert, Tom, and Tomiwa) were in training elsewhere - presumably preparing for a fight scene - and that Eoin and Tom filmed a scene in the nearby forest. There were also reports that Katie McGrath was filming nearby, though alas I didn't see her.
The rather large prop spoiler could be viewed in the great hall, and was presumably used in the filming on Friday and Monday. This item has already been foreshadowed in the show at least twice, and is one of the more expected elements of the story, but I'll let you choose whether to head on over to Flickr to see it.
There has been a five-person crew filming 'behind the scenes' material, for which they interviewed Bradley today. I have yet to ask for any details of what this might become, but they've been there every day so far, which is promising.
Also, official photographer Nick Briggs was on duty today, not only in the courtyard, but also doing a photoshoot with Colin inside the Chateau.
I'll start uploading my photos now (it might take a while), then come back and add a link. ETA: You can now find the photos from today here.
ETA: I understand that we'll enjoy 'Colin in the courtyard' tomorrow (Wednesday).
