His colleague in the caves, Percival, having spent far too long smashing up rocks, flexes his impressive physique as Tom Hopper strikes an imposing figure. The other knights make their presence felt again, with Eoin Macken’s Gwaine spending time in the presence of The Euchdag before being rescued by Arthur. Her performance is nuanced and controlled, yet full of rage. When she doesn’t speak, her emotions are plain to see she doesn’t overact, nor is she reduced to smirking. Her confrontation with Arthur reveals the fury of Uther’s daughter and her hatred of her brother. On the other side of things, as the other powerful woman in Arthur’s life, McGrath is stunning as Morgana. “Wars cannot be won without taking risks,” she says to Gaius, and there’s a sense that Guinevere will be a valuable ally to Arthur. Of the performances, Angel Coulby really stands out with her calm and serene countenance. Merlin’s mistrust of Mordred puts him at loggerheads with the King, whilst Morgana’s trust of Mordred leads to her greatest betrayal to date. The confrontations between Arthur and Morgana, Merlin and the dragon, and Guinevere and Cefa are all emotional for their own reasons. The script is once again heavy with drama, mixed with action and magic.
