Why am I reading everywhere that Merlin had a five year plan, that they were only planning as going as far as series 5 anyway? Didn't I read here on the Wiki that the creators were planning on going as long as the fans wanted the show (and, I suppose, as long as the actors didn't walk out on them, which I can only assume must be the case - Bradley James, I think, has stated interest in moving on)? I don't ever remember anybody saying anything about a five year plan!
