Has anyone heard about this? The BBC are planning a new TV series called Merlin with Colin Morgan (Vernon God Little, All About My Mother, A Prayer For My Daughter) playing Merlin? Can anyone confirm this? If so, looks like Morgan will be disappearing from the stage for a bit, which is a shame cause he's a favourite of mine, but looks like he's gonna be on our screens a lot!!

All true - he'll be filming for a few months and it is a series about Merlin as a young man.
