"Colin Morgan has admitted that Merlin co-star Richard Wilson has become his mentor off-screen as well as on. The actor told What&amp;#039;s On TV that it would be foolish not to learn from Wilson, who stars as court physician Gaius in the BBC fantasy drama.  &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;d be a fool not to listen to people like that because they&amp;#039;ve been in the business so much, and not only in business, but in life,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;You just want to absorb everything that people like Richard have to offer.&amp;quot; The 24-year-old said that Merlin still relied on Gaius in the upcoming third series of the show. &amp;quot;He does, but he is becoming more independent,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Gaius is always there as a father figure, but I don&amp;#039;t think Merlin realises how much he really needs from the old fella&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Merlin returns to BBC One at 7.25pm on Saturday.  &amp;gt; Click here to watch our interview with Richard Wilson "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
