Happy Merlin finale day! Yes, we said happy. Well, watch this video featuring Bradley James and Colin Morgan, and it’ll get a bit better.

Oh those Merlin actors, they sure know what the fans really want to hear. Er… actually we’re sure some fans do.

In this instalment of the Merlin advent calendar, James and Morgan answer the question, “What would you say to people who describe King Arthur as a ‘hunky killing machine'”:

After a long, confused silence, James asks his own question in return: “Who described Arthur as a hunky killing machine?” Although, he admits, “he is technically a serial killer.” And Morgan adds, “as is Merlin.” So. Arthur and Merlin are both serial killers. “Hunky, I guess, is in the eye of the beholder. As is beauty.”

Wise words, Bradley, wise words.

We shall take those with us as we prepare for the epic conclusion to Merlin. Tonight is the first half of “The Diamond of the Day,” and it airs at 19:55 GMT. The second part follows Monday at 20:15. So forget about Christmas pudding, it’s time to see how it all ends.
