Line 52:
* [[So My Kids Can Watch]]: [[Nathaniel Parker]] (Agravaine) apparently joined the cast because his children were fans of the show.
* [[Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things]]: The reason Bradley stopped updating his [[Twitter]] account (it's still there but is no longer being updated by him personally), as [[Fan Dumb|"fans" started attacking his girlfriend on Twitter.]] The girlfriend in question, Georgia King, also closed down her Twitter account at the same time. [http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/2012/01/01/actress-georgia-king-closes-twitter-account-after-being-targeted-by-jealous-fans-86908-23670909/ The whole thing warranted at least one newspaper to run with the story].
* [[Word of Saint Paul]]:
** In interviews, [[Katie McGrath]] was pretty adamant that Aithusa was female, though the only mention of the White Dragon's gender was when it was first introduced, when Kilgarrah refers to it as "he".
** Eoin Macken, who plays Gwaine, has mentioned that his character wouldn't react much if he discovered Merlin had magic. Given his gratitude towards the Euchdag and the fact that he only seems to truly hate sorcerers who commit crimes, this agrees with canon so far. Bradley James has also said that Arthur has reached the point where he's ready to learn about Merlin.
