Aaaand... let's start as we mean to go on...

I'm not sure there will be anything else at 10. I reckon they went live early

Is the website live? I just have the old one showing....I thought Musketeers had early sight and put on twitter

Sorted, can see it now. Aww they even gave Roman his own bio.

Totally with you there MrsB....I have given myself the right RH

What did you do MrsB, I'm still essentially looking at the old site, but get the 'new' rehashed character descriptions, and have the new banner pic. Is that what you're looking at ?

Yes that's what I have too. No new video or launch date

pfffttt. Elk

Nowt wrong with the curls by the way, but he looks like he's been really badly phtoshopped/greenscreened on the shot of the four of them, and I don't think the one on his own does much for him. So bad S2 publicity photos as far as I'm concerned. (Goooood S Africa photos though!)

I was going to say that Verruca will die cos of Aramis, but Sparks has already done that version.

Oh I did enjoy the Creditors

Really laughed at Babyliss Wave Machine. I clearly don't need one of those. Actually, with the new pics I can channel Athos hair as well as AC. Excellent.

Evening all, btw.

Do you think she will? Because Adele did too, and Sister Whatserface. He's not that lucky to be with..... and yes I know you all would anyway.

I still think it will be the Cardinal's funeral they are in black for and that Kingy dies later.

We might already know this and we may actually have the info before this but the Radio Times will go in sale from 7 December.

We also appear to have Kingy dressed for battle in Jess Pope's twitter

Well if that is the updated BBC Musketeers page I am disappointed to say the least.

A few new pics - nothing HQ though.

On that note I am off to bed with Athos. He's just finished putting in his Carmen rollers and needs some help with his hairnet!

Rumours and musings from Digital Spy re start date:

^"NEW YEAR'S DAY ON BBC1 (Current schedule)

6.30 Esio Trot
8.00 EastEnders
9.00 Miranda 2/2
9.30 Mrs Browns Boys 2/2

Sunday 28th - Tuesday 30th at 9pm Mapp and Lucia

This leaves December 27th (Saturday) which is unlikely due to Brucie's Hall of Fame getting the key prime time slot, so, with all that the only slot free, and it's a BIG BIG slot and potentially the BEST slot it could be given for giving the show a major second series boost, is

BOXING DAY at 9pm. Straight after Still Open Hours.

So, I predict, The Musketeers will start at 9pm on Boxing Day and will continue on Fridays for its run, leaving Sundays for Call The Midwife and Poldark."^

AND

^"If the BBC Media Centre is correct about the show starting between 27th December and 2nd January, then producer Jessica Pope's latest tweet mentioning "2015" puts it firmly on either the 1st or 2nd January, most likely Friday 2nd.

The first episode also has its press screening this Wednesday, so we might get a sense of how good / OK the new series is from this week onwards. We should also get a trailer soon if 2nd January is the correct airdate."^

Why have they not announced yet?! Keeping us in suspense I hope. Also rumours of a press event next Wednesday. Do you think they mean Paris? Maybe it's the OK launch and they are holding it in Paris, because, well, Paris?

^ faill. FM^

Ha typical. Don't work when you want them to, work when you don't.

FMP (punctuation)

Evening all!

Well I for one am happy. Some nice new photos and a healthy dollop of speculation. And IT WAS Aramis cosying up to Verruca in that tease pic which we debated long and hard!!!

Queenie looks quite unwell in her pic. Filter? Or poorly story line? Or just desperate for more Aramis?

Interesting Info MrsB ref launch date. I loves a Christmas radio times I do.

it's all going to be Fucking brilliant .

Carolina

MrsB a fount of knowledge as ever.

So I asked mrE to get babyElk sorted for bed, so far I've had where are the wipes?, where is the changing mat? And does she need a vest on? I am fully expecting the next question to be where is my arse, and what relation does it bear to my elbow?

In order news, I think I've had a relapse. The manky torrent exiting my sinuses has gone from an olive green to a sort of brick red......that's not good is it?

Awright comtess.....I've got a pressie for you. Should be ready in a couple of days.

ooh. Do tell.

Well, 2nd Jan would be better as I've got people staying on the 27th so I couldn't watch it live with you lot.

Lordy, I'm tired. Off to bed. to all wenches near and far. Laters.

night all.

Aw. Helen. .

Here, come and play 'finger curling' with Athos with me.

Night all xx

Oh, so, bit of an anti-climax then.

Well, I'm with Comtess, I'm excited for season 2 and I think Athos looks all masterful in that pic curls and all.

Night wenches.

Doesn't that mean press screening this Wednesday, not next Weds when they're in Paris?

I'm not sure I like the Boxing Day idea. Great for the show, not so good for wenches wanting to do a JOINT watch.
