It's tournament time again in Camelot, a time when Prince Arthur Pendragon gets to show off all the fighting skills he's forever practising on poor Merlin. It's also usually a time when a less than shining Knight tries to make his mark by knocking the Prince off his horse and on to his pampered backside by fair means or foul – or by magic... Camelot's legendary tournament is the perfect place for villains to try to make a name for themselves, as there are no rules; it's a no-holds-barred battle for supremacy. The kingdom fills with warriors from all walks of life, swaggering through the streets as if they own them and ready to challenge anyone who tries to suggest they don't. Merlin's new pal Gilli (guest star Harry Melling – Dudley Dursley in the Harry Potter films) is a surprising contender as there’s not much of him and certainly not enough to defeat the biggest, baddest fighters. But Gilli's determined to win the tournament – and he’s backed up by magic. Hold your horses there, little fighter... It's usually Merlin's magic that helps Arthur win these contests. Gilli gets carried away by the powers he's discovering within himself, though, and his reckless behaviour threatens not only his life but also the stability of Camelot. Time for Merlin to be Camelot's hero – albeit an unsung hero.
