Sorry for the lack of updates recently. As you all know little is going on in the Merlin world at the moment, but rest assured that we will be posting if anything new appears!
Speaking of new, someone has kindly uploaded some clips of unseen “behind the scenes” footage from the second volume of the season 2 DVDs. It features Bradley and Katie only briefly as they are both on the other side of the camera this time! However, be sure to check out the video, as Colin, Katie and Bradley are all extremely funny (Emilia Fox also features!).
Secondly, a complete set of HQ pictures from the May Expo 2009 has surfaced: the cast all look extremely lovely (plus we get to admire Katie’s amazing boots!), so check them out! Thank you to mata090680 for finding the pictures!

A small update today comprising mostly of behind-the-scenes pics. I added newly-released set promos of Season 1 as well as some hi-res behind-the-scenes pics from Season 2 (thanks go to our ever-lovely affiliate Merlin’s Keep!):
I also added some long-overdue pics from the 2009 Cardiff Lights Switch-On, replaced the Season 1 Promo Photoshoot with HQ pics (again by Merlin’s Keep), and added a further couple of pictures by Sebastien Querite. Enjoy!

Sorry about the lack of info recently. The server has been inaccessible to me and I’ve been struggling with it for a while — but here I am now, and boy do I have a lot of updates! Season 2 of Merlin may be over but rest assured, we’ll have plenty of things to catch up with 
To start off, I have caps of Bradley’s GMTV and Digitalspy interviews from last year, caps of the BAFTA “Inside the World of Merlin” event (thanks go to gealach-ros), and caps of Bradley’s roles in Lewis and Dis/connected. Not only this, but we’ve added some more HQ pics from the Sound photoshoot (thanks go to Merlin’s Keep), some candids of Bradley outside the BBC building, some lovely pictures of Katie and Bradley with their caricatures (featured in episode 13 of “Merlin: Secrets and Magic”!), some random pictures from the BFI screening and Sebastien Querite, and a very special treat, beautiful HQ scans of a Merlin season 2 promotional booklet (thanks go to factswerethese for these wonderful scans!).
Phew! I hope you have fun viewing all these treats!

Okay, first of all I have a rare treat: normal-sized screencaps of the ever-lovely Katie and Angel attending the TV show “Sound” last year two years ago! Katie looks very pretty in green eyeshadow 
Next some caps of our fabulous Bradley and Colin at a BBC Breakfast show on BBC1 in September last year; Bradley tells a very funny (and now well-known!) story of when his horse decided to sit down in a lake!
Last but not least, both Bradley and Katie were interviewed on the 9AM show on Channel 10 in Australia (along with Colin and Anthony). These are extended tidbits of “The Secrets Behind Merlin” special that aired last year, so be sure to check it out!

Hi all! ArthurandMorgana.org is back and now proudly hosted by Fanfusion. We know the downtime was longer than we anticipated but we’ve been moving all files to our shiny new server. We’re back, we’re stronger and we’ll still be your source for Katie, Bradley, Merlin and Arthurian Myth corresponding to the legendary couple that is Arthur Pendragon and Morgana Le Fay.
A lot of news posts were lost after our latest security breach, but it was only that. Our gallery, media and fanfiction archives remained safe thanks to back ups as well as our forum! Though you guys will probably need to reupload your avatars because for some reason they didn’t survive the move.
Anyway, Rose and I will be doing tons of updates over the next few days so keep checking back. Also, we’re no longer using our old email for site contact, you can now reach us at arthurmorganaorr(at)googlemail.com. If you find any glitches in the site, don’t hesitate to report them.
We hope you’re having a marvelous 2010 so far! It’s good to be back!
Mara found this little video of the Winter Wonderland lights switch-on in Cardiff last night and I have uploaded it for your viewing pleasure. In other news, jhava of Livejournal has also uploaded some videos of the switch-on, which you may view here. We will try to gather some pictures for our gallery so watch this space!
Since it’s Thursday, a new preview clip of the upcoming episode (S2E08, The Sins of the Father) has surfaced. Click here to view! Also, a new Merlin trailer was previewed at the Cardiff Winter Wonderland lights switch-on, which features quite a bit of our lady Katie McGrath as Morgana, and of course many shots of Bradley James as Arthur! There are some spoilers. To catch up I have opened several new threads in the forums to discuss these upcoming episodes.
The Welsh show Drws Y Bac interviewed the Merlin cast (as posted yesterday). I uploaded caps of the Bradley and Katie interviews and of the behind-the-scenes featurette they made on Merlin. The interviews are in English but Welsh fans will be delighted to hear that the behind-the-scenes video is in Welsh!

I also uploaded some promotional pictures of The Queen starring Katie McGrath as Princess Margaret. You can also glimpse Emilia Fox who plays Queen Elizabeth II in these stills! Thanks go to Merlin’s Keep, our elite affiliate for these lovely pics.

I’ve added two new episode stills from episodes 10 and 11 (they feature mostly Arthur but you can see Morgana in the back of the one where Bradley is posing with Georgia Moffet) and two new pieces of Fan Art by stuffbearkiller.
- Series 2, Episode 10 & 11 Stills – 2 Episode Stills

Also welcome to all of our wonderful new affiliates, don’t forget to check them out!
ETA: There’s a new slightly spoilery interview with Katie filmed near the end of shooting. She talks about her favorite guest stars, the future of Morgana and why she thinks Merlin is so different from other Arthurian Legend interpretations.
After a very long break I give you close-caps of Arthur and Morgana in The Mark of Nimueh and The Poisoned Chalice! Enjoy!

Also this video of Katie’s scenes in her first work, Damage has surfaced; she plays the small role of “Rachel”, a partygoer. Katie looks especially lovely here!
