 What was the story? Well, I've been on the very first state of filming. I was trying to, they gave us a real metal heavy sword. So I was finding it heavy, so I was just going to put it into the ground. I didn't notice on my staff, my toe, with it. That's not even embarrassing. It's scary. That's what it is. But it wasn't that bad. I just cut it slightly. But it was quite embarrassing because I didn't know what was going to happen. I think we were on the Tintagel Clifftop and it was in front of all the essays and stuff and we had to... When Alex goes to pull out the sword, he's like, yeah, we've got a quest to finish. And we were rehearsing it and I slipped in front of everyone and everyone was like, oh, okay. And I was like, yeah, it's okay. We just carried on with the scene, but that was really embarrassing. As well, just like little slip-ups, just slipping. Like, when they built the tank. And then there was just like water and we were just slipping. And you kept dropping in the water. I did have to play a nude scene in a television production. I was absolutely naked, standing up on a high platform in front of the whole crew and everything. And that was difficult. I insisted upon being naked in the scene where Merlin emerges from Stonehenge. However, I quickly regretted it because we did that take over and over and over again because the sun was coming up and they really wanted to capture it. So I soon regretted that. Oh, God, excuse me. Yeah? Everyone. Oh, you have? Is that the have? Oh, yeah. Have you both? No. It was the day of my 11-plus exam. And I didn't go. I got into huge trouble, both at school and from my family. And there was talk about resitting it. But I just didn't want to go to a grammar school. I wasn't interested in scholarly things. So I went to a secondary and modern school and found an English teacher and here I am. Oh, I don't recommend it, children. You attend your exams and be prepared. Well, I like card tricks so I perform card tricks. But I also did actual coin trick, which is in the film, which is like palming an extra coin in the hand. So, yeah. I had this one, I did it for ages. I thought it was amazing. You know, like the American Dollars, I used to poke a hole in it, a secret hole, and put a pen through it. And then it looked like, and then when I opened it, it didn't look like it was a hole. But it was a hidden hole. So you like stab it and it looks like it's gone through it, but it doesn't. Well, perform sorcery in the film, yeah. But a magic trick. I don't, I don't, I, yes I have, yes I have, yes I have. No, I haven't. But I have stood close up with a magician in the kitchen of my home in Los Angeles, a very, very, very famous magician, and watched him do things that were unbelievable and exciting, but also watched him do things that ought not to have been happening, and they truly made me want to take a step away from him because it, what I was seeing, I should not be seeing at all. And I, anyway, he's become a friend, this man now, and kind of, he just lives for magic. That's the one, it's exciting to be with someone. He suddenly went over my sink and vomited up four frogs, one after the other. He vomited, I watched him, he handed them around, we held them in our hands, and he went and swallowed them, four of them. And I can roll my tongue. Yeah, I can do a weird thing with my thumb. It's just like, you know, when people go like that. What are you doing? The weird, like, the weird thing. Do you think this is what you have? This is quite a trick still, though. I can do my eyebrows. I don't think so. Okay, my trick I used to sometimes do is you attach a sort of thing there and you go, okay, attach a thing there. I can cure hiccups. My children had seen me do it and they believed it so strongly. They can call me up on the phone and they'll say, Dad, I have hiccups. And I will say, after a moment or two, I think I said they've gone and they've always gone. I said, I don't know how it works, but it feels great to do it. I went into a shop the other day and the assistant said, I'm terribly sorry, I've had hiccups all morning and I just don't know what to do at all. And I said, they've gone. Well, but I was taught this. She said, this is exactly how you do it and it will work every time and it does. Chunky, the cameraman. He, it was his last day because he was, it wasn't our last day, it was his because he was going to L.A. for something. And then we thought we'd give him a good send-off and we got this big pool with the big lexing threw him in there and drowned him. I think my favorite moment of filming was when we were on Bodmin Moor and they'd got it all set up that it was going to be torrential rain because we go through the portal at Stonehenge where it's sunny and nice and suddenly we're plunged into this appalling weather on Bodmin Moor and they had all the rain ready because rain doesn't often show up on camera so they have to make it. But it was the worst weather imaginable. I mean it was truly appalling and they didn't have to do anything post it and you know, my character, Merlin, you know, he leans back against the rain and relishes it and the wind and everything but in between takes we were all going and having to dry our hair so that it looked like we were coming through into the warm. It was a very memorable day. We were all glad for a cup of tea after that. Yeah, they brought a rain machine out because we didn't need the rain machine. And then we had to go and sit in a car they were preparing to do another shot because we couldn't be wet because it was as if we'd come from a portal so we couldn't be wet. And it was funny because at one moment we were underneath this tent thing at home and then there was a massive wind that blew it off and we were all grabbing it. It's a top screen event. And there's loads of different coats and jackets and versions of the costume so that they're dry and you can just change in and out. I loved my hair. I did. 19 when I looked like this. And so being able to transform my head by wearing... I keep all my wigs. I have a huge pile of wigs. I'm thinking of leaving it to the British Museum when I retire. He came out of the screen and the Premier on Sunday and he grabbed me and he said, I wish I had that hair. I wish I had that hair. I'll give it to my son because my son is an actor, very good actor and he has no hair. So I think he should get the endowment of all these wigs. I remember convincing them at one point that there was a place called the Cheese Ring on Bodminmore, which is these amazing huge slabs of stone on top of one another. No one really knew why, how they got built like that. And I managed to convince them of this whole thing that it was erected to honour a cow who produced the first ever cheese. And they were all going, oh, fantastic, fantastic. And they were telling all the adults and the crew on set, do you know why it's this around? That was quite a good one. But I'm sure they had better ones than me. When we're especially filming serious scenes beforehand, we'll be making each other laugh. So in the mid-scene, we'll be looking at each other like this. Yeah, it's always... Yeah, one of the doubles, what's that? Dean's headphones on. Oh, yeah. As I'm trying to... What are my headphones on? I had a grandma. She's not... I still have a grandma. She got, unfortunately, cut. But there's a really funny scene where we're all at the dinner table and she just comes over. She's lances grandma. And she's like... Ooh! Yeah, with a tea and biscuits and stuff. Glad she got friends. When we were fighting, we were fighting these men in suits, like motion capture suits. So we had to pretend that they were these flaming knights. But a lot of the back shots was green to green. Yeah, and with that as well, we had to imagine Merlin as the owl, as a tennis ball. And then the horses sometimes would be also tennis balls with people running with them. Oh, yeah. So it was... But we had to... Joe told us what to imagine well, so that was easier. They like made CGI versions of it beforehand, so he'd show us the scene in CGI version. And then we'd have to be like... Oh, yeah. Yeah, little animations. Animations, and then the animations would be the green ball rule.
