There's a wonderful letter in next week's Radio Times (3rd - 9th October), with which I suspect some folks round these parts will be in full agreement:
I wish to express my desire for a plot development in Merlin (Saturdays BBC1) that many will have imagined - a romance between Merlin and Arthur. There's undeniable chemistry. Subtle comments and glances are continually exchanged. Merlin himself acknowledges: "Everything I do is for him." It would be a waste if Arthur were simply paired off with Gwen and Merlin with Morgana. The show has taken an unorthodox approach to Camelot - why not take it in another new direction?
