Can you believe it's been seven years since Colin Morgan's boy wizard first strode onto our screens?
The series premiere of Merlin on September 20, 2008 set us off on a magical five-year journey - one with mythical monsters, wicked warlocks and excessive amounts of bromantic banter.
Millions tuned in each Saturday night for the show's blend of fun, fantasy and friendship - because Merlin and Arthur (Bradley James) were definitely just friends, Ok? - but what's happened to Camelot's finest since that epic final episode?
Colin Morgan
The aged Emrys might still be waiting for King Arthur to revive, but Merlin lead Colin Morgan hasn't lain dormant these past few years. He appeared opposite fellow Irish legend Gabriel Byrne in BBC One's moody detective drama Quirke in 2014, was seduced by Gillian Anderson as mercurial copper Tom Anderson in The Fall and played cyborg Leo in Channel 4's smash hit Humans.

The Outcast
Nathaniel Parker, Jessica Brown Finlay, and Greg Wise are among the stars slated to appear in a new BBC One adaptation of the award winning novel The Outcast. Both the novel and the TV show were penned by writer Sadie Jones who has been working on a screen version of the story since 2008. Originally planned as movie, the saga was eventually developed as a two part screenplay for the BBC.
The story revolves around Lewis, a young boy in 1950s Britain who has been neglected by his father since the death of his mother. When his father remarries, Lewis slips further down his surviving parents’ list of priorities and gets caught up in a self-destructive downward spiral. He seeks solace in the company of some neighboring youngsters who themselves are having to deal with a physically abusive father. Things deteriorate yet further and eventually Lewis commits a grave act of defiance.
