So wth Merlin series 5 all ready to start back on the BBC this weekend we thought it was a perfect time to catch up with our good frend Julian Jones, the co-creator and head writer on the show.

With Dave off on his adventures Barry flys solo in this special episode in which Julian opens up about series 5 and what we can expect from the characters and the story. We also take a little look back at season 4 and some of Julian's thoughts on his episodes and plot points in that series. There's also some talk on season six and the status of a Merlin feature film.

Julian also lets slip a massive spolier for series 5 which we have moved until right at the end of the interview to give those of you who don't want to know fair warning.

Enjoy!
