    Wasn't expecting this news already, between this and the airdate for Doctor Who looks like Comic Con is getting all the big UK news.

    Well I expected it to be announced after the series had started, and that it would be the last. But I assume if that's the case it'll be announced when the BBC make it official.

    I guess it didn't sound like the Emperor then. :(

    Were you quoting Star Wars at me? I don't do well with Star Wars... or when my brain is in neutral.

    good, this means they should be able to complete their five year plan then.

    Cool, I think Merlin's been getting better every series, and I'm anxiously awaiting S4.

    Was there really a 5 year plan, or is that just a joke? Although I would miss it, a 5 year plan sounds good, let it go out on a high note before it becomes dragged out.

    I've heard there's been a 5 year plan for a couple of years now. They're saying with the early commission it allows them to focus on the writing and do a proper long character arc.

    If 5 is the final series/season, then I will certainly be very curious to see how the show will end.

    they said they had a five year plan in the Radio Times' feature on the very first season.
