kylezyJust listened to the 3x01 commentary with Katie and Bradley and I thought I was going to be bored but many a lolz were had.
There's some transcribing errors, I'm sure, Bradley mumbles a bit.
Bradley: The Tears of Uther Pendragon, I didn't realise this episode was called that.
Katie: Really?
Bradley: Well they only come up with the names...the names aren't on the script when we get them, they're just like, "Episode One" and so forever after I'm calling them "Episode One".
Katie: I like coming up with my own names for them. It's more fun.
Bradley: [In movie preview voice] Morgana's Back.
Katie: Yeah! Evil Returns. Evil Begins.
Bradley: Arthur Gets Knocked Unconscious.
Katie: Again.
Bradley: Again.
Katie: Part Seven.
Bradley: I think that's what I like about this series, is just the fact that, for next year...
Katie: It'll all change.
Bradley: There's no reset button.
Katie: No, yeah.
Bradley: I always found that a bit frustrating with the show, in the sense that I really enjoyed watching um, a lot of it but sometimes when, you can be a little bit..unsatisfying if there's no progression made through a series.
[On Merlin/Colin]
Bradley: He's always lurking, creeping into rooms. He's found himself in so many scenes now where he'll look at the day and he just won't be saying anything. He'll go, "I'm having a great day today, I've got no lines whatsoever".
Katie: Or serving us at dinner, that's another good one. He had a whole day of that last week.
Bradley: Serving us at dinner, he loves doing that.
Katie: With his jug, pouring water over you. BY ACCIDENT.
[Bucket on the head scene]
Katie: Why are you so mean to Merlin?
Bradley: Um, I think it's just one of those things where it worked early on [laughs] and they've stuck with it. But, if you notice, I'm less and less mean.
Katie: This is pretty mean what you do here though.
Bradley: True.
[Arthur takes his shirt off]
Katie: TOPLESS.
Bradley: Yeah. How much do I- Have you, did you see ep four the other night?
Katie: With Gwaine?
Bradley: How much do I get put to shame by Gwaine as he's opening the window?
Katie: Listen, it's horses for courses, seriously. It's all a matter of taste, Bradley.
Bradley: Yeah, well anyone with-
Katie: He does have floatier hair, I'm gonna say that.
[Morgana smirks for the first time]
Katie: Do you think I might be evil?
Bradley: You've got a few of those looks...
Katie: [laughing] Don't get me started.
[on the men standing guard at Morgause's cave]
Katie: They is my boys. I is their master.
Bradley: You is or she is? Coming up. [referring to Morgause]
Katie: Same difference.
[On Emilia]
Katie: She looks like you, I always thought, a bit.
Bradley: Yeah.
Katie: Especially when she came in to play in the first episode, I was like, "they've got this the wrong way, it should be Arthur's sister".
Bradley: Are you saying that though 'cause she's blonde?
Katie: No, no, blonde and pretty and you know, big eyes. Like you.
Bradley: Pretty decent um, eyeliner for-
Katie: Dark eyeliner means evil in Merlin.
Bradley: Does it? Well I'll stop wearing it then.
[on Arthur fighting like Merlin]
Katie: That's just cruel, Bradley.
Bradley: That was fun.
Katie: [laughing] You just enjoy doing that to Colin, didn't you?
Bradley: [giggling] I didn't even realise we were filming.
Katie: Why is Ygraine in a well?
Bradley: That's a good question. I guess just 'cause it was convenient.
Katie: [laughs] Just a good place to hide?
Bradley: Yeah. A well, it's perhaps symbolic of-
Katie: The well of souls?
Bradley: The well of guilt-
Katie: Oh.
Bradley: That Uther -
Katie: I don't think they thought about it that much.
Bradley: - has stored inside him.
Katie: That's deep, Bradley. Deep.
Bradley: Like the well.
Katie: Was the World Cup this year?
Bradley: [laughs] The World Cup was this year.
Katie: Was it not quite nice? 'Cause I remember being in France and you know, everybody kind of, sort of came together and it was kind of nice with all the crew, sitting in the bars and watching. It was fun. And you getting more and more angry 'cause everybody kept talking. Like, [imitating clenched teeth] "I'm trying to watch the football".
Bradley: Well, no, I just sit in silence and watch it and I'm quite focused on my- on an England match.
Katie: Quietly fuming 'cause everybody's talking and-
Bradley: It was more the fact that the guy who had the best seat in that bar-
Katie: [laughing] I can't believe you still remember this, okay...
Bradley: The guy who had the best seat in that bar was sat at the front, he had the best seat in the house, he was asleep!
Katie: [laughs]
Bradley: He was, I think he was a spark (?) or something - he'd had half a pint of beer and he fell asleep.
Katie: He just didn't understand the importance of his-
Bradley: But you know what I mean? It's like, "go and sleep in the back".
Katie: See, I feel kind of like I have robbed Colin's sneaking-through-the-corners-
Bradley: That's Colin's thing.
Katie: Emerging-from-shadows, watching-in-the-corner.
Bradley: Hopefully we'll have Top Trumps cards and one of the, like, things, it'll be like: Magical Powers, Strength, Fighting Ability, Sneaking Ability...
Katie: Mmmhmm. Hooded-ability.
Bradley: Hooded Ability.
Katie: Cloaked and hooded. Moving in slow-mo, walking in slow-mo.
Bradley: Slow Motion Ability!
Katie: Also good.
Bradley: Morgause is winning that one.
Katie: Yeah, totally. Evil Stare, I'm totally gonna top you all out. Evil Smile.
Bradley: Evil smile, evil stare.
Katie: All of those. There should be a Wig Ability.
Bradley: Wig ability! [Gaius appears on screen] Winner!
[on Morgana reaching under the bed for the Mandrake Root]
Bradley: Why don't you look under the bed when you grab that?
Katie: Because it didn't say I did in the script.
Bradley: That's a simple way of answering that question.
Katie: Yup! Don't start pulling things apart. It's a magical show.
Bradley: Colin kept nudging me the entire way through the screening going, "oh, the music's great, isn't it? Oh the music's great, isn't it?"
Katie: Well the music is great!
Bradley: But the whole way through. I was like, "yeah, it is, mate, I heard you the first six times".
Katie: He's just excited, bless him.
Bradley: He was really excited. He was very excited.
Katie: Look at his little face, come on.
Katie: Colin's cheekbones, magical.
Bradley: Morgause's er, eyeliner. Magical.
Katie: That's an indicator of evil.
Bradley: Gwaine's hair.
Both: Magical.
Bradley: We had the thing the other day where we both get hit in the neck by a dart and we weren't there for each other's take of getting hit in the neck by a dart. Colin was actually on the toilet when I did mine.
[on Cenred's army]
Bradley: This shot really surprised me when I saw it.
Katie: Well Rupert very nicely sort of says, later on in the episode, Cenred's like, "oh, we can't penetrate the citadel, we're just gonna have to give up, there's no way we can take Camelot" and he's [Rupert] like, "listen, you've got 80,000 men-
Bradley: You've got a million men walking-
Katie: "-I think you can do it". There's only about 150 in Camelot. I think you could take 'em.
Bradley: There's like, in episode four there's a scene where Gwaine goes, "Oh, Arthur's a real pain in the backside for making us clean the boots of the entire army" and there's like-
Katie: 12 boots.
Bradley: 12 pairs of boots! The entire army?!
There's some transcribing errors, I'm sure, Bradley mumbles a bit.
Bradley: The Tears of Uther Pendragon, I didn't realise this episode was called that.
