I also think it's sweet of them and done with money in mind. I was more like reacting to some comments above and elsewhere who think it's degrading slash itself (how do you go about doing something like that? is slash a being with integrity, a noble concept?). I do imagine those scenes might've been a bit awkward for Bradley and Colin (and the rest of the crew). If it were a woman everyone would go on about how it's a disgrace that we only depict women as sex on legs etc. But for quite some time now it's the men who've been portrayed alarmingly. Men are pigs, men only think with their ..., so forth. Even in Merlin. This episode is the second about women manipulating men with their looks (if you don't count Nimueh, so maybe the third) and men being completely oblivious to it. And every time Merlin sees a girl he goes gaga. Yet we only hear feminists complain. But anyway. Family show. There are other places to complain about things that are general tendencies.
