Musketeers. A good buckle of swash?

Nice eye candy but very cheap production that looks like it has been made for the American market. Not usual BBC standard.

Who cares about the script, story line or other production issues? Let's just have lots of close ups of that lovely D'Artagnan.

I'm with Aka. He's a lovely little lad! I quite enjoyed it. Loved Merlin, hated that things about Atlantis (I think). I thought this was somewhere in between but we're going to look in on the next one.

Atlantis had just started to grow on me when it finished. I think The Musketeers will make a good replacement for Merlin. I know it's not quite the same. But a bit similar.

Wonder what happened to Bradley James (Arthur).

Has Atlantis finished? Bums!

It's coming back. Was popular.

I found it soooo boring, all brawn and no brain.

Yes. It was a bit. Might improve.

Here's a thought. D'Artangnan played by Peter Sellers in the manner of Inspector Clouseau, with the others doing it like the 'ploocemin' gendarme in 'allo,'allo!

The novel may have been written as a serial, so quite adaptable for television, but I suspect that Dumas Père would draw the line at ploocemin speak.

Yes - I still have my copy of Le Collier de la Reine somewhere, which came afterwards, but not sure I could be bothered to plough my way through it all again nowadays. However if my memory serves me correctly, it was about the queen's relationship with Buckingham, and how they had to cover it up, so I am not sure how far they are intending to take a supposed relationship with Aramis.

Aramis was Lancelot in Merlin. Sigh.

I'm enjoying this. I like the Athos and Porthos characters and that Milady is so naughty.
