Richard Wilson has said that he doesn't miss starring in Merlin.
The 78-year-old actor played Gaius in the BBC One fantasy drama alongside Colin Morgan and Bradley James.
Asked by Digital Spy whether he missed the show, Wilson replied: "No, no. It was too hectic.
"Merlin was made in France and Wales, and I was an associate director [of New Sheffield Theatres] in Sheffield and I live in London, so I was running between Sheffield, London, France and Cardiff which was a wee bit hectic.
"We did five years of it and it was good fun at the time. But no, I wasn't sad to leave Merlin – well I didn't leave Merlin, it finished!"
Richard Wilson is directing Sarah Kane's Blasted at Sheffield Theatres, which opens on February 10.
