“Katie, we’re so up against it. Colin needs to be in 2 places at once, we’re gonna have to pull him off your scene. He’s gonna do his close-up, he’s gonna do the wide, and then we’re just gonna have someone else read in his lines for you.” So I’m like, I have no actor, I have no nothing, I’m with all these people I don’t know, it’s my last day of 5 years, and I start to get really upset. I don’t realize that Colin is on the other set and has– we had talked about it earlier on in the day, he was gonna come over and do my clapper board– and he discovers that he is not going to be allowed to come over to do my final scene with me, not even read in for me. So he organizes with the AD to give him the nod, and what we did was, on the second unit we would wait for Colin to do a take on the main unit, Colin would run over, he’d do my lines, then he’d run back. So he’s running back and forth between the two. Second unit’s standing down and waiting for him. He comes to my last take, and he does the clapper board and I’m waiting for the golden wrap, which is where everybody goes around and gives you a goodbye and a well done, and nothing happens. Colin’s just standing there. What I don’t realize is that Colin has refused to go back to the main unit until everyone from that unit comes over, everybody comes down from production, about 150 people, came down, waited 5 minutes– he refused to go back! – ‘til I got my proper golden wrap. I wouldn’t have gotten that had he not been so stubborn. So my final day, instead of being me with a load of people I didn’t know who didn’t really care, I got the entire crew and Colin Morgan– giving me a round of applause. The man’s a legend, is my short story.

“A little photo diary of some portraits and behind the scenes photos that I took when I was on Merlin during season 3.

I stopped taking photos for the other two seasons, I’m not sure why, but when you’re on a series it becomes less interesting photographing people as time wears on. On a film set it has a very finite time frame and so I find it more exciting to take pictures. On a series there always seems to be months still left.

And then there isn’t, because it’s finished.

Merlin was a superb group of actors, and crew, very talented actors, and wickedly interesting people… so here’s a wee selection of some photos, and some casual portraits… I can’t get in trouble any longer now can I…”

I remember your eyes. You were staring up at me. Those few seconds I held you were the most precious of my life.
