If we're picking teams, I'm definitely on team Merlin. I'm 50/50 as to whether I agree with what either of them are saying at any given moment, but I enjoy their (mostly) good-natured bickering.If you like attention to detail and everything to be just so, I think you'll find yourself on team John, but I tend towards the people who play the underdog role, which Merlin does very well, in contrast to his role on shows like Back to Work or Do by Friday.
