Pssst, Merlin people ...

I've only seen the first three episodes, but just rewatched the one where Merlin saves Gwen's father and Gwen is accused of sourcery. Looking at the scene where Arthur tells his father's council that there is no way Merlin could be a sourcerer, it seemed obvious to me that Arthur knows.

Is this the actual case or is Bradley James's skill in inappropriate levels of attractiveness rather than acting? And feel free to spoil away!

It does read to me as though Arthur knows and Merlin is oblivious to it, and you're quite right, it is funnier that way!

As to the prettiness ... I used to go out with a boy who was a moderate amount younger than me and that pretty. I had to break it off as I would just sit there looking at him while he tried to impress me with his (actually quite substantial) intellect. I just felt so awful about objectifying him ...
