In the next episode of fantasy drama Merlin‘s fourth series, a mysterious illness draws Merlin to a distant village. But it soon becomes clear that there is more at stake than just his well-being as something sinister turns the air sour.

Lamia airs at 8.15pm on Saturday 19th November on BBC One. In the meantime, here are some teasing lines of dialogue from the episode…

» ‘Lock the door behind me, let no one in. Do you hear? No one!’

» ‘Our village is blighted with a sickness.’

» ‘I think he’s capable of much more than you imagine, Sire.’

» ‘You’re the one who holds the fate of this Kingdom in the balance.’

» ‘No birdsong. Nothing.’

» ‘Merlin was right, this is no ordinary illness.’

» ‘That needle’s the size of a spear!’

» ‘Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.’’

» ‘It’s from her tunic, I’d know it anywhere.’

» ‘Then, what are you waiting for?’
