An old face is returning to Merlin this week. When Arthur (Bradley James) uses magic to contact his late father Uther (Anthony Head), the tyrant's vengeful spirit begins lashing out at those his son holds closest...

There's a ghost running amok in the court of Camelot - with the help of Merlin (Colin Morgan) and Gaius (Richard Wilson), can Arthur lay the old king's spirit to rest, or will Uther's wrath destroy the dream of Albion forever?

Merlin continues on BBC One this Saturday (October 20) at 8.25pm.

4. "I would rather not rule at all than rule alone."

5. Morgana's also absent this week, though someone else has it in for Gwen...

6. "I'm twice the size of you, little man."

7. At one point, Arthur wields a most unusual weapon.

8. "What do you know about ghosts?"

9. Merlin and Arthur indulge in some "horseplay".
