Musketeers - BBC Discuss!

[joroas]

I think that as you become more knowledgeable, stuff that looks okay to Joe Public, looks trash to us.  This is some exciting stuff to plug the gap between cookery and those awful celebrity (TM) programmes. Just who watches sitcoms like Benidorm?  

[Pijlie]

I tried. I really tried. The camera work was fine, pretty pictures galore, beautiful weapons (if only a tad unrealistic in force; getting thrown back 5 meters by a pistol ball....) but the clothing was increasingly silly and the acting was plain sad. I surrendered after 15 minutes and turned it off.

it was dross, everything about it was second rate, everything the BBC makes is a disappointment.

Luckily Blackflag has started and that's already looking good.

I decided long ago, that there is too much good stuff out there to waste time on the lacklustre........

I agree old son,life is too short.

[georgec]

Agreed, without doubt my absolute favourite version and as far as I am concerned the best cast ever: Spike Milligan, Roy Kinnear, a cameo appearance from Captain Peacock and not forgetting Raquel's ample bosom )

Are we quite sure poor old Olly didn't think it was real 

[OSHIROmodels]

Well, he did get stabbed by Christopher Lee in the second one so why not

[Paleskin]

oops, I meant Black Sails

[Captain Blood]

Just watched episode 2 on iPlayer. i've changed my mind. I quite like it  

Yes, the Musketeers' costumes are a bit far fetched, but the locations are great, and I like the characters, even if the modern idiom strikes a bum note from time to time. But you can't really fault it for panache, and that's what swashbuckling is all about at the end of the day! Ne c'est pas?  

[Eric the Shed]

Echo captain blood...watched it on the train home tonight and almost missed my stop.

It's all good panto fun...have to say I think the sets are brilliant.

[Malamute]

In an age when we are deprived of good old fashioned period adventures, I welcome anything that has some swashbuckling, sword fights, heaving bosoms and luxurious facial hair.

[joroas]

Did you mention

heaving bosoms

? 

[Paleskin]
