Swagger Inn Thread 76. BBC Musketeers. Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.

[SparklesRedHotChileLeather]

I've got a feeling...that tonight's gonna be a good night

Help yourself to an ADMIT ONE pass if you're a fan of The Musketeers with a clear allegiance to at least one, preferably no more than four.

Afternoon wenchi

Well it turned out I could get a 3G signal if I'd remembered to charge my phone.

All back now, cwtching in front of fire with a cup of tea whilst the boys have baths and do their hair for hours. I'm not budging at all tonight. Bath and a rewatch are my key priorities .

So, review of the reviews:

carolina thank you for the overnights. Looks steady. I wish we had a source for the Iplayer stats etc. I think adrian is right, it will be vital to get those numbers high.

I really liked that den of geek review esp the bit which says Kingy is both entertaining, sympathetic but also repugnant.

Also the other review v good over this issue of honour and conduct which is v tricky for the Musketeers if there isn't an honourable cause or goal. V v thought provoking that.

I now am CONVINCED that Adrian wrote in the grimy little scarf for me. It's too much of a coincidence otherwise..... .

Nearly spat out my tea at wicked's OMC. This was fucking hilarious.

Elk. OMAFG. The whole mini Elkery thing last night must have driven you to the edge. Just awful. After waiting all week. Hope you've made some good progress this pm.

Sparks. Love all the reviews and news. Keep it coming.

Fancy. That Aramis Gif just keeps on giving huh

fancy - I do agree actually, and I wonder if the accent is why I thought she was going to be a comedy character -

and again, the Scottish baddies last night was a bit meh - more from an interfering with the flow point of view , rather than objecting to a stereotype ( I found it broke the spell somewhat) - on the other hand at least the brothers had matching accents, which isn't always thought through ...

It's certainly giving me something comtess, and that something is TRH.

I really could watch it for hours

Ds1 didn't really understand my squeaky "oooh ds1 watch this bit!" When dog pulled off toms scarf.
He just looked at me like "yeah...and?"
Sigh.
Ds2 seems out of sorts again. Ffs.
I would be sooo nice for him to make a whole term at school :(
Still feel crappy.
No plans for tomorrow though, so hoping for a less houseworky day.

Ds1 has got to make a model of a cell.
So, he has drawn one, is colouring it in and is making a model of it out of playdoh.
My Saturday nights are not what they used to be...

I actually shouted out 'Oh, Comtesses grimy little scarf' when Dog pulled it off. DH said nothing.

I think every year 7 has to do that one. What a nightmare. you have my sympathies.

make the cell out of jelly, then they can eat it afterwards .

Oh good, I have pics allowance back & it's not on this page

Leaping - thats a fab idea.... (bet I don't remember it by the time I have to do it...

Apricot . Yes Mr Apricot knows as well as us all that THAT WAS ALL FOR ME. A few people on Twitter saying they'd like to see how many takes without them laughing/cocking it up they took. thats what I want on the DVD extras.

Adrian/Jess - ive had an email from Amazon saying the release date of the S2 bluray now not til slightly later in March. This better be cos you're putting lots of extra bits in LIKE THE FILMING OF THE SCARF SEQUENCE ETC.

I'd like a 'making of' for each episode too so I hope they do one on the website for each one.

Leaping....that is genius!!!

That blu-ray date is bound to be due to Adrian coming in here & having to revise things. Fo sho.

The mini-Elks are both going to sodding boot camp after last night

Comtess I like that idea, a making of for each ep would be fabulous.....including many, many outtakes of corpsing muskies, horsey mishaps etc

More fog has cleared, and I remember the Aramis/Verruca kiss, thinking Sparkle's not going to like that, and pulling a cats bum mouth

Starting to reveal the Ideal Home tableau beneath my usual midden...hurrah. We won't have this issue in my new house, which will of course remain looking like a page from LivingEtc at all times

Just wanted to say Thank You to you Wenches who have made me welcome to the Tavern, and for your willingness to share Athos with me.

[Whispers ]"I was actually lurking here last season too".

That London Live interview might be my new favourite thing. I wonder if there's any more of it, it had obviously been very heavily edited by someone wearing really thick gloves

Oh dear God, he's beautiful

Elk I've tweeted London Live asking exactly that, perhaps if we all do it they may take notice?

Ahem ... Trav .... "willingness to share Athos"???

Watching The Apprentice online, all kind of different British accents, great practice until next wench meet up

Mrs B Everyone goes to the cinema for £1-75 adults too. It is at most chain cinemas and called kids am. Every weekend and school holiday. You have to watch what is on offer though no choice. We are going at the same time slot tomorrow fir Paddington and it is £12-00 adult and tenner per child.

Trav, Trev....this could get confusing

....and Trav...if you were lurking during last season,

a) you should have bloomin' well made your presence known,

b) you will know how "welcoming" we are in the Athos queue Bwahahahahhahaha , and

C) did you like my porn?

Has anywench seen my wenchy mojo? Anywench? Because it seems to have fucked off again.

Caught up.

Loving the repeating Aramis gif. And Dog, I was telling DH that episode 2 is a Dog episode and he said 'God he has a face that I want to slap.' [Shock]

Sparks, did they tweet it in the first place? I can't find it if they did
