Happy Merlin day! Watch a short clip in which Colin Morgan tells fans the truth about Bradley James’ attitude on the set!

The Merlin advent calendar is giving us fun little things every day up until Christmas (and er, the end of the show, but let’s not think about that), and today it’s a small interview clip in which Colin Morgan and Bradley James act very annoyed with each other:

“Bradley had definitely let the royal status go to his head, and he acts like a king on set all the time, just ordering people around,” Morgan scowls, while James nods along imperiously next to him. He also reveals the shocking secret that, “he did try to order the execution of one of the costume people for tying his cape the wrong way.”

We are shocked and outraged.

Luckily that was the final straw. “We called an intervention,” Morgan recalls, clearly struggling to talk about this traumatic incident, “and it went well, he’s changed since then. He’s become a better person.”

It’s a Christmas miracle!
