I think the tone of the show has certainly changed over the years, because it's really, really hard to do something different when you have a show going on as long as this has.

There was concern whether SCI FI would want the show back with all the recent changes. But now, the changes have made it feel fresh, like starting over.

This is my sixth series, and I'm burned out wondering if a show is going to change my life. Don't get me wrong, I love when people recognize my work. But I've given up worrying about whether it'll be seen by two people or two million or 22 million.

All the power to them but I'm not interested in making yet another show that looks like some other show.

Every season we try to do something new. And not for gimmicks. We feel the show has to evolve and keep changing.

What they did was to make a pilot and it may well go to series at the next festival but I don't have any news on that. It's already been on Paramount actually, but as it's on Paramount it'll probably be on several more times... hopefully.

I think of each new season as an evolution, not a change in style.

Nowadays, kids know how a programme like Merlin is made and how it works. But the show just seems to grow in popularity the more it goes on.

The Tour has changed, and I can't make up my mind if it's changed for the better or worse.

When you go to a show on opening night, or even the second performance, it is at the very beginning of what it will become. By the end of this run, the show will actually be what it is intended to be.
