In which it's tough being an objectivised lust muffin, trust me

I'll find myself setting out to do a scene and it'll be a scene where I'm just having a chat with Merlin, and then one of the script editors will come down and say, "We've had a message from production: Bradley's going to do this scene with his top off."

I can understand that part of the show. It's something that is kind of inevitable in the role that I play in the show. It's not something where I go, "Oh great, a chance to get my top off," but at the same time, I'm not naive enough to think that it's not something that people look for in the show.
