An interview with Colin Morgan who plays the eponymous hero in BBC One's Merlin.

Q: Why has Merlin been such a success right around the globe?

A: The Arthurian legends themselves have endured for hundreds of years already, and we're taking them to the next level. Also from series one, the characters just clicked in people's minds. The writers are so smart about that and are constantly developing the characters in a fascinating way. This fifth series is the most sophisticated in terms of storylines.

Q: Has the series also benefited from the huge current popularity of the fantasy genre?
