This is the captured moment before Bradley went CRAZY! He got up, he started prancing and wildly gesticulating whilst making Colin and the rude lady laugh. Me and my new friend were in stitches. No idea what he was meant to be doing, but it was funny! Wish I caught it on video

As many of the pictures come from actual filming they should be considered potentially spoilery, though I don’t think you can tell too much out of context and without the dialogue. […] Bradley’s part of the action involved some Merlin teasing, pinky finger waving and finger snapping. It was all wasted as Merlin just wasn’t paying attention!

When I was in France, they were practicing a scene where they walk down the little walk way thing at the edge of the courtyard. Suddenly, they stopped and someone went, “COLIN! what happened?!” and Bradley just stepped in and went, “It wasn’t his fault. We had to slow down. But it wasn’t his fault."

BRADLEY/COLIN AND AN INNOCENT GARBAGE BIN.
story credit: rainating / translation feilongfan
In the afternoon, 4 pm-ish, Bradley and Colin took a break from filming.
It was getting late. Colin moved his chair to a spot behind Bradley and the garbage bin in order to enjoy the sun a bit longer. Seeing Colin’s move, Bradley moved his chair as well. He put his chair in front of Colin and just stood there, with his back facing Colin, totally blocking the sun. Seeing Bradley with no intention to move, Colin had to poke him. Bradley turned around and (pretended) that he just realised what he did and said sorry. Then he put his chair behind Colin’s and sat down. Colin wouldn’t let Bradley get away with it. He put the garbage bin in front of Bradley so it blocked his way out. Ha, a perfect revenge! At this time, Bradley started to complain to Colin, but Colin made no response and pretended to read his scripts. The two crew members behind them just watched and laughed. Colin kept ignoring Bradley, so Bradley complained to the two crew members. But they also ignored him. Later some assistant came to rescue and moved the garbage bin away. At this time, Colin couldn’t pretend any more. He turned around and smirked. Eventually, everything was back to normal. The innocent garbage bin was left somewhere in the middle of the courtyard.

They really do look at each other fondly quite a bit ;)

Bradley and Colin had been shooting one scene for a rather long time. It was getting to Bradley, so to burn off the excess nerves/energy, he kept dancing and moving around right before the shoot. ::hop, jump, shimmy::
But what I appreciated even more than the shimmying? Colin’s response to said shimmying. He and Bradley obviously know each other’s reactions to moments of stress and difficulty when it comes to lines and filming. While Bradley was having his 'moment', Colin stood back quietly and just waited, watching Bradley and letting him work his own way through it. Quite the contrast from the Colin that was giggling and laughing with Bradley only a few minutes earlier.

concerning this:
Rainating mentioned something interesting. She said Colin was very awared of fangirls taking photos of him and Bradley. He always tried to hide behide a pillar. When they talked, Colin tried not to look at Bradley in the eyes. In a lot of pictures, they didn't look at each other, but in fact they kept talking (without eye contact) all the time. On one occasion, they took a break from filming. A lot of fangirls left for a warmer place, Rainating took this picture. Oh Colin's look, so beautiful.
I think there's no need to panic whatsoever. This should be taken with a pinch of salt. First of all it's a personal impression. I can't conclude anything from this description, which remains vague. On top of that, this picspam contains lots of pics with Colin and Bradley having eye contact. To be honest, I think they have other things to worry about.
Also this report clears things up:
I've seen a report that mentions Colin's discomfort with having fangirls around watching the filming this weekend, and that he was hiding behind pillars and not making eye contact with Bradley between scenes. Honestly, I was there the whole time, and I didn't see any of this. For most of the afternoon they were standing in the middle of the courtyard with their horses, so there weren't any pillars to hide behind. And if I ever get back home again, I will show you many pictures of them chatting, laughing, and making plenty of eye contact. But they were also working very hard, and it was an intense scene that took many, many takes. They would each spend time getting into their personal head space. Bradley was having a bit of trouble with the scene, and by the end of it he was getting obviously frustrated with it. Colin stood by quietly in his own space in order to allow Bradley the time to work through it. But once they got through it, and went on to the rest of the afternoon's shooting and rehearsing, they were both very smiley and chatty again, and at times downright silly.

A lovely story happened when Bradley got a break from shooting the fight (he looked tired because of this strenuous exercise). Colin went forward to him and took over his sword, and then……smoothed down Bradley’s hair in a very short time!!! I didn’t take photo of that moment because it was too sudden and I was totally shocked by this tender movement……

And during another break, Colin sat at his place in series while Bradley stood at his position in series as well, there are around 5 meters between the two boys but they were still keep talking/gesticulating. Colin pretended to dart a small stick to Bradley. And then Bradley immediately pretended to be hit in the chest, pressed his heart and started to fall. Colin started to chortle with mirth after seeing Bradley’s excellent performance. Haha, yes! What a cute reaction XDD

IMPORTANT EDIT
Apparently the whole colin-doesn't-look-bradley-in-the-eye story is kind of a misunderstanding. Take a look at rainating's reply HERE
