Lindsay Duncan Interview (Queen Annis)
Lindsay Duncan has revealed more details about her guest role in this week's Merlin. The Alice in Wonderland actress will appear in Saturday's episode as Queen Annis, a foe of King Arthur (Bradley James).
"She's been the Queen but she's been with her [late] husband who's done all the fighting and being on the front line." Duncan explained. "So they mirror each other. Death has brought [both] Annis and Arthur to the position they're in."
She added: "Both Annis and Arthur find themselves in a situation of having a great deal of power and having to take responsibility of that power without the experience."
Duncan explained that Annis and Arthur will clash after the death of her husband Caerleon (Steven Hartley).
"Her decision-making that could very easily be floored by the fact she's fuelled by anger about the injustice of Caerleon's death," said the star. "She's very, very angry."
