Was Merlin, the magnificent magician, played by Robert James in Look Stop Me... meant to be the same Merlin played by Peter Barkworth in The Morning After?

They're both accomplished conjurors with criminal associations...

No I don't think so, because Steed knew Peter Barkworth's Merlin well but he had never met Robert James' Merlin before (although he had crossed paths with Robert James before).

But what if the Morning After "relationship" developed after the Look Stop Me... events (or was Merlin killed in that one?). Perhaps Steed got to know Merlin during incarceration or interrogation, after the first adventure.

Bit of a stretch, I'll admit, but interesting they used the same name in the same season.
