A word about the fanservice. Half-naked Arthur is always at his bedroom with Merlin (ep1 and ep5 so far). Those scenes are more of a slash service, but even as a hardcore slasher, I feel awkward watching them. They feel cheap.
Don't throw slash at my face, Merlin writers, and don't do me any favours. Remember when in ep4 Arthur smeared Merlin's face with fruit? It works so much better and it's sexier when they don't try.

Poor Bradley indeed.
