We celebrated Merlin and the Merlin Family with another Merlin Meet Up in Pierrefonds over the weekend of 15-16 August. Merlin Locations’ intrepid reporter Shell tells us all about it on the Merlin Locations website, supplemented with photos by her husband Robin.

BFI London Film Festival | 14, 16, 17 October | whatson.bfi.org.uk/lff

Colin Morgan's film Testament of Youth will premiere at the festival, and he is listed as a guest. I don't have any further details, but I assume he would only attend the first of the three screenings. Tickets on sale to BFI Champions on 10 September, Members on 11 September, and the public on 18 September. Will post more details as/when available. (Thanks to Shell for the heads up!)

ETA: Sheffield Film and Comic Con | 30-31 August | sheffieldfilmandcomiccon.com

Anthony Head is attending this con on both days. Autographs and photo shoots available for £15 a pop.

There's a new ABC tv series called Galavant and I was watching the trailer and just noticed so many Merlin locations. I always get excited about stuff like that! I was able to spot Caerphilly and Cosmeston Medieval Village and I'm sure I'm missing a lot. Anyway, it looks completely ridiculous. But in a good way.

The awesome Shell attended WizardCon in Madrid last weekend, and has written up a report for the website. I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it, and seeing the photos! It looks like the Knights were in fine form. ♥

So ... I saw Krapp's Last Tape twice today, and was intrigued! I've written up a report for the website, if you'd like to read it:

Richard is currently appearing in Krapp's Last Tape at the Crucible Theatre. They kindly hosted a Q&A with him today. And here's how it went!

@crucibletheatre: We're here with Richard and ready to take your questions! #askrichard



@MerlinFanWorld: Hey Richard, do you plan to guest on any conventions?

Richard: No plans at the moment.

@suspectsnargles: What was the best part about working on Merlin?

Richard: The best part about Merlin was getting to know Paris really well & of course working with Colin Morgan was great fun.

Merlin Meet Up, Pierrefonds | 16-17 August | twitter.com/Pierrefonds13

Join us in Pierrefonds for our second annual Merlin Meet Up! The village is holding a medieval fair, so there'll be lots to enjoy quite apart from meeting up with your fellow fans and reliving old memories. Read this post on the website for a full report on last year's Meet Up!

Thank you to Sarah for making it happen all over again!

Hot on the heels of the lovely #AskBradley, we have the wonderful #AskRichard - with thanks to @CrucibleTheatre, where Richard is currently starring in the one-man show Krapp's Last Tape. This is scheduled for 2:15pm on Friday 4 July.



Twitter notification here.

ETA: OMG check out that virile facial hair! ♥ I wish I had Mark Douet's job, I have to say... He's been snapping Rupert as well! :-)



P.S. My 'mood' is ironic, I assure you! :-)

The Jungle, Chicago | 19 July - 6 September | broadwayworld.com/chicago

Thanks to @Team_Merlin on Twitter for the all-too-brief scurry of excitement!
