It's doing my head in. 5 leading actors and I fancy ALL of them. I tried to pick the one I fancied most when he was a simple cartoon dog and that was Aramis, but just one look as sexy Richelieu in his black cloak of evil and I'm a gooey mess.

It's turned me into such a tart, but IABU to want all of them. No? Ok thanks.

Omg! Have googled!

ALL HAIL AMAZON!

is there a thread? Shall I start one?

Oblomov · 26/02/2014 14:58

Thanks Stinkle. 51 minutes you say?!!!!

MorrisZapp, I love Ripper street aswell. Matthew Macfadyen I find very attractive.

Most active? Hooray. At last!!
Mind you, like others said, I'm not sure I want too many people finding out how good it is!!

HannahHorvath · 26/02/2014 15:03

Start a thread, but whatever you do, don't to what MTM did with her title/topic and break laws that are going to leave us stranded here forever

OnlyLovers · 26/02/2014 15:03

In descending order:

Athos. Pher-woooarrraggggghhhhh.

Richelieu. DING DONG. Have loved Peter Capaldi long time anyway, and the dastardly plotting, nefarious power and, particularly, that red ceremonial robe of his are hot hot hot.

Aramis. Not as rugged as Athos, but very very pretty.

Porthos. A bit less rugged than Athos and a bit less pretty than Aramis.

D'Artagnan. Meh. Too young and insipid. Would only do him if he turned out to be hilariously witty (laugh me into bed) and smelled gorgeous.

Stinklebell · 26/02/2014 15:04

Mmmmm...never liked Ripper Street

May have to give it another go

OnlyLovers · 26/02/2014 15:31

Ripper Street is AWESOME.

And I don't even fancy anyone in it. I just genuinely love it Grin.

Matthew McF is fantastic though, isn't he?

AphraBehn · 26/02/2014 15:49

Oi, you lot. Stick with your Musketeers and leave Matthew Macfadyen for me alone.

Stinklebell · 26/02/2014 15:54

Oh, you can keep Matthew Macfayden, and Hannah can have first go with Athos

I have a whole list of odd crushes, I'm sure I can find one with no queue, I'm happy wait my turn Grin

MalcolmTuckersMistress · 26/02/2014 16:01

Yeah yeah yeah Rip 'em Off Street is coming back. Good. HOWEVER. NOT IN THIS THREAD. Because musketeers are more important.

Anyway more to the point who the HELL has been trying it on with MY cardinal while I've been out rolling in horse shit to get into the flavour of the correct aroma for our road trip?

And NO Capaldi does not have a bony pointy face. He has a beautiful older man face and I want to stroke him and feed him champagne chocolates!

Back to reality though. I can just imagine Richelieu hissing at me me "On your knees now you worthless wench" as he throws back his cloak at the same time...! Oh ma heid!! He's SO bad.

HannahHorvath · 26/02/2014 16:16

Thankyou Stinkle! It's the right thing to do. And we are on very intimate terms now that I've seen his sex face an' all.

Oblomov gets to go second though. She is v. dedicated, abandoning her dc for the cause and whatnot.

BUT I get to go FIRST!

You lot have husbands and I've been living in a drowt too long.
Clearly.

OnlyLovers · 26/02/2014 16:25

'I can just imagine Richelieu hissing at me me "On your knees now you worthless wench" as he throws back his cloak at the same time...!'

Good Lord yes. His red cloak...

Oblomov · 26/02/2014 16:48

I abandon dc's at any opportunity.
But this is a worthy cause.
Am on number 2. Having replayed number 1, at 51 minutes, innumerable times!!

Have glass of rose, and chilli prawns in the oven. And it's only 4.30pm.

Stinklebell · 26/02/2014 16:58

Is it possible to wear your Sky+ out? Like when my DD watch Snowbuddies so many times she broke the DVD

My kids are home now, they'll snitch to DH that I made them watch the Musketeers over and over again and I'd quite like to hold on to what little of my dignity is left. Further letching will have to wait until tomorrow this week is going to be a write off, I'm supposed to be decorating the bathroom

HannahHorvath · 26/02/2014 17:15

Dignity Shmignity!

We don't have time for such luxuries! We have Cardinals, and Musketeers, and Treville maybe, but not the King, and possibly d'Artagagnan whose title were not yet sure of. We don't have time for DIGNITY!!

Pull yourself together woman!

Grin
HannahHorvath · 26/02/2014 17:16

Oblomov is dedicated. Wine for you.

You are definitely a worthy second in queue.

Stinklebell · 26/02/2014 17:43

God no, he'll take the piss. A lot. He already rolls his eyes and makes sarcastic comments when it's on on a Sunday night

It's my dirty little secret

Badvoc · 26/02/2014 18:04

Dignity!?

Fecklessdizzy · 26/02/2014 18:22

OH, LET THE JOY BE UNCONFINED! Ripper Street's really uncancelled?

Love it ... It's like an X-rated Horrible Histories Vile Victorians Grin and it was all kicking off with the bodies piling up around Long Susan's dainty ankles and Drake not quite smashing Inspector Slimes' teeth down his throat and Our Hero getting interrupted by 'er-outdoors whilst going all Celebrity Deathmatch on the sidelines ... ( Pause and b-r-e-a-t-h )

I-player is your friend. If anyone remarks on the heavy breathing you can claim to be getting outraged about something or other on MN!

Badvoc · 26/02/2014 18:23

Whoo hoo!
Great news!
:)

LetUsPrey · 26/02/2014 18:25

I'm supposed to be helping DS2 with his spellings. Instead I've been catching up on the muskeperving and have told him he can watch more Scooby Doo.

I managed to download three YouTube clips on to my iPad which I watched on a loop at lunchtime today at work, interspersed with watching some episode 3 particularly where my Aramis speaks Spanish and the bit near the end where he says "whipping?" and makes a whipping sound

One of the videos is the Remember The Name one. The clip from episode 1 where he's in bed with Richelieu's mistress and he rolls her on to her back and moves on top of her gets me every single time.

Bit warm in here isn't it?

HannahHorvath · 26/02/2014 19:47

Either MN is going to combust sometime in the near future, or there are a lot of lucky dh/dps out there at the moment? Grin

HermioneWeasley · 26/02/2014 20:01

This moved on while I was away.

Lack of Richelieu action this week. Meh.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 26/02/2014 20:28

Yes, not much Richelieu apart from episodes 1 & 4. I do find him rather polite though. I'm sure he wouldn't be too barbaric on his way to my undergarments. Smile

MavisGrind · 26/02/2014 20:46

Going to watch ep 1 again as I think I missed it

However, without hopefully being shouted at by MTM for going off topic, I saw Matthew Mcfayden as Jeeves with Stephen Mangan as Bertie Wooster. Bloody marvellous stuff.
