Can't wait. The show has improved every series, and I have high hopes for this one being the best yet!

Yes I love Merlin and Dr Who and can't wait after the ponds leaving this week . I agree as Merlin tells a continuous story I hope it is longer than 6 episodes .

Back on the date I suspected and can't wait for it to start.
No idea why there is a spoiler alert at the top as the article does not give any spoilers away at all!
