Following yesterday’s exciting T4 dance-off/interview with Merlin stars Bradley James and Katie McGrath, a second clip has been released.

James and McGrath appeared on the British morning show T4 yesterday to promote the fifth series of Merlin, and play some different games with the hosts. Check out the clip below to see what they get up to:

In the video, McGrath explains Merlin as, “A fantasy re-imagining of an old classic legend” – a very well-worded description, we’re sure you’d agree! Then follows a series of clips from the first couple of episodes of series 5, including the scene where Merlin and Arthur get caught in a net. They discuss the three-year time jump, and then the hosts quiz the actors on how much they know about medieval traditions.

We learn that animals could be put on trial and sentenced to death (sad face), that cobwebs were not believed to cure flatulence, that a shaved live chicken’s bottom could allegedly cure the plague, and that sheep’s dung was used as a common form of contraception – wait, what?! Looks like Katie won this round of Who Wants to Be a Medieval-aire, so congratulations!

Merlin returns next Saturday with “Another’s Sorrow,” and we’ve got the promo, some promotional images and more right here on Hypable!

What did you think of this interview segment? If nothing else, Katie McGrath sure seemed to be amused.
