Well, she couldn't talk about that while reclining in my arms, could she?

At this point the important question must be will there be a second series of this excellent swashbuckler?

With the cardinal sooming off to be re-incarnated as THE Time Lord can Peter Capaldi fit filming Dr Who and The Musketeers into a single schedule and if not who could take his place????

Well if he's a Time Lord how can scheduling be an issue?

I had wondered if, with Capaldi going off to be Dr Who, they might kill of Richelieu and bring in his historical successor and protege Cardinal Mazarin. I await developments with interest.

Watched Crimson Field tonight and though, as expected, it was pretty much Holby City in Flanders I rather enjoyed it.

I thought Crimson Field was rather good, will certainly watch next week

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Saw all three of them and liked them, although I think that my liking was based on my almost severe lack of knowledge of the times in this part of the world. A tad more knowledgeable now. Wasn't too sure about the prof's flailing arms though.

2017 Paint-Off - Winner!

Heedless Horseman

Latest series starts well....(ok...suspend disbelief about renaissance shell and open order pike...and the outfits!)  BUT very entertaining and worth the watch. Nice to see a show that doesn't need sex to keep it interesting!
Good fights and some nice acting carries over the clichés well.
Hate the TV voice-overs over the credits, though...why don't they ever listen to viewers complaints? Bloody execs!

Don't know if I'll bother.  ;)
