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.

He looks like he doesn't have a clue what to do

MTM the thought crossed my mind, but I had DS1 with me so I thought I'd best not

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/02/2014 21:01

Only now catching up in iPlayer, thanks to MN! How many times will Capaldi feature in episode 1? Or do I have to follow the plot? Sad

Badvoc · 22/02/2014 21:08

Ds1 (10) loves this show.
He watches for the sword fighting and historical interest.
I watch it to get my perv on.
"Mmmm, yes ds1 aramis has got big muscles hasn't he!?"

MalcolmTuckersMistress · 22/02/2014 21:18

Hahaha poor King Louis! He's TOTALLY not getting to join in.

DrinkFeckArseGirls don't worry about the plot! It's worth it once it warms up a bit. I think the last episode was the most Capalditastic so far.

God he'd so totally get it until his eyes burst.

Aramis
Richelieu
Athos

If I had enough energy then I might give D'Artagnan a go.

Stopmithering · 22/02/2014 21:41

Boff meant fart when I was a child.
Guessing it means something else on MN ...

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/02/2014 21:43

luke palmino (whoever he plays)
met in in ibiza a few years back when I was young wild & free...
he opened my Bacardi breezer as I lost my bottle opener
...
I fell in love

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/02/2014 21:45

I'm a feminist in RL but I so would be his mistress. GrinShockBlush

squoosh · 22/02/2014 21:45

In some cultures that would mean you are now betrothed to him kilpeppa. Bonded by a Bacardi Breezer.

HannahHorvath · 22/02/2014 22:01

Never have I wished for a Sunday evening to hurry up and arrive. And I don't mean 'this much'. Just ever.

Wasn't feeling even remotely lusty until my perusing (musketeer spk) active led me here.

...and now here I am...swilling back the prosecco with one hand... fanning my heaving flustered bosom with the other.

Waiting for Athos or Porthos to ravage me in my sleep tomorrow.

killpeppa · 22/02/2014 22:02

squoosh- I thought so too.He didnt see it that way, ffsWink

MalcolmTuckersMistress · 22/02/2014 22:18

Haha...Hannah I ALWAYS enjoy my Musketeers with a prosecco! It's my routine! Husband has just guzzled tomorrow's supply though. Rude.

HannahHorvath · 22/02/2014 22:27

Well he's got a busy day on the morrow MTM hasn't he! At least with Athos there would always be more wine. Not that I'm encouraging use of Athos btw. You have played your Richleiu hand. You do not need my Athos.

Bet Richlieu has a dirty great wine cellar to go with his dirty gleamy eyes.

Husband has lot to prove as far as I can see. Get ye to his mechanical wheel'd beast at dawns crack to replenish supplies. Lest ye wench shall leaveth him!

or summat like that

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/02/2014 22:40

I quite fancy Vadeem.

Melonbreath · 22/02/2014 22:46

The lot of them give me fizzy knickers and a great big wide on.
I love the beeb.
They gave me:
Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy
Martin Freeman in the office
That fit rugby guy on strictly
Charlie Brooker
The last Dr Who
benedict cumberbatch as Sherlock
Jason in Atlantis and now a whole bunch of fantasy fucks.

Or am I a horrible letch?

HannahHorvath · 22/02/2014 22:52

Just googled Vadeem. Vadim (as it turns out) has a mighty big pistol.

Looks dirty and rough in all the right ways. But not stirring anything in my knickerbockers so - I'm out!

HannahHorvath · 22/02/2014 22:57

Haha! Melon - there was me thinking I was the only one who had heard used the term wide on before.

Ahhh I love MN.

Is yours accompanied by the quintessential slowly creaking haunted house door sound? Grin

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/02/2014 23:05

Not to go to bed with a huge big horn, I had to switch to Death in Paradise. 2 episodes of Richelieu and I need to ration the rest.

That man did it for me in all his recent roles (not worth my bother in his younger tears oddly).

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/02/2014 23:06

It's official I'm the dirty old man. Blush

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 22/02/2014 23:35

Ok in the interests of research, I Googled Howard Charles.

It's definitely the boots and the leather and swords and general muckiness. Not him. Sad

So that's us lot off to join the Sealed Knot then Grin

wearingpurple · 22/02/2014 23:39

Aramis and Richelieu.

But probs Christoph Waltz Richelieu rather than Peter Capaldi. (Actually, Christoph Waltz in anything first.) Then Peter Capaldi Richelieu.

Then Porthos.

Then Athos.

Then d'Artagnan.

Et encore une fois.

HannahHorvath · 22/02/2014 23:53

Okay. Serioushly people (slightly slurry)

I am sitting here, scouring Netflix for some appropriate action!

MTM - I blame you (swivels around wildly stabbing finger in air in thrusty sword like manner at imaginary MTM)

Have settled on When a man loves a woman - meg Ryan /Andy Garcia. Not strictly period - but tbh all the period stuff is so long winded between action for a late night sat night wine fuelled fix.

Suggestions welcome.

Dontlaugh · 23/02/2014 00:03

Richelieu.
Am, however, in convulsions at whoever mentioned a "plot" above....seriously??
There's no plot. It is so plotless, it's plotiless.
There is leather clothing though, which forgives/explains/encourages a lot.

HannahHorvath · 23/02/2014 00:04

Mmm Christophe Waltz has been googled. Would have to see him in action to be fair. But on first viewing....I'm out.
Fill your boots! As if my declining was go ahead you needed Grin

Yeah I'm rampant Musketeer fodder me.
