Episode five of @fortheloveofmerlinpodcast! Lancelot's arrival in Camelot is shaking things up, but nothing can stop Uther from ruining everything for everyone around him.

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 20:38:04 +0000

Episode one of @fortheloveofmerlinpodcast. Sonia has questions for Mila, who is new to this world of Camelot. Is it weird Merlin sticks around? Is he a young boy? And Mila has questions of her own about these characters, like, "why are you like this?!" We also ponder how long the great hall of Camelot takes to walk through and the difficulties of something as easy as being a background actor.
