Merlin: Secrets and Magic

Welcome to Secrets & Magic, the show that goes behind the scenes to reveal how Merlin's made.

Coming up, we'll take a look back at the greatest moments of Series Two.

How could he resist such beauty?

We'll see some new faces on set.

Nice. Perfect.

And we'll be getting in on the picture

as we go behind the scenes for the final day of filming.

Plus, we follow them as they meet Merlin's army of adoring fans.

We turned up and people were just SO excited.

All this and more on Merlin: Secrets & Magic.

It's been a big year for the boy wizard,

and the fulfilling of his destiny has never been so dramatic.

The residents of the royal court of Camelot have loved...

and lost.

Alliances have been forged.

So you want Uther destroyed and his reign to end?

More than anything.

And new enemies have reared their ugly heads.

But the best has certainly been saved for last

because, after months of build up, the great dragon has been freed,

and a fiery Camelot is under siege in the explosive series finale.

For the cast and crew, it's been an eight-month adventure,

and now, with most of the hard work behind them,

there's a chance to sit down and relax.

Hello, Merlin fans. It is the final day of filming today in Cardiff

and as a gift to you, all the crew and everyone who's worked very hard...

Rolling!..we brought in a caricaturist

to draw everybody.

Excellent! Thank you very much.

That's really funny.

Nice. Perfect.

Can you guess who that is?

Clearly it's actually written

next to his head,

so we don't have to do much guessing

but then...who's that?

Oh, my God! Katie! Hi!

Goodness gracious, what are you doing here?

Um...I'm just looking at my picture.

OK, oh, right! I think it's a good representation.

He's been nice to you, hasn't he?

I did tell him that if he wasn't, I'd hurt him. Oh, right.

There are certain people who have hidden their pictures

and they're refusing to show them.

I think a bit like Bette Midler.

It's good! I like it. He's very talented. He's very good.

So how do you feel about the last day?

Sad. Look at that, viewers, look at that face. So sad.

And that's the end of Series Two. It's a wrap.

So, that's it! Filming has finished but for the stars of the show,

that's shortly followed by a few personal appearances to promote the show.

When you're filming, you are in this little bubble world,

kind of protected from everything else

and now that it's coming towards the end of filming the second series,

the interviews and the publicity's starting to pick up again.

We went to our first convention a few months back, in London.

It's kind of a strange experience because when you're doing this job,

you're just coming to work every day, you're just doing the job. It's not like you're thinking,

"Ooh, I'm famous!" It doesn't feel like that.

Um, and then when you go to something like a convention,
