Swagger Inn 79 - Post Applegate, Episode 4, Musketeers is what we want...

[ChaiseLounger]

Just starting us off.
For Post Applegate analysis etc......

Mmmm Caroline Street chips and curry sauce. That takes me back a few

Haven't read the thread, that just leapt out.

NN wenches, will catch up tomorrow.

FFS - Has the Athos queue just got longer?! I should really not take time out from posting.

About the Prague plan. Forget the tanks and stuff. What happened to stealth? Has no-one even thought about disguises to get us past set security?

The cast are assigned apartments during filming. Has anyone even considered kidnapping the building concierge and replacing him/her with one of us? We'd soon be able to identify which muskie is in which apartment.

They get gym membership while filming. Could one of us pass ourselves off as a personal trainer at the gym or a physio to deal with all those little twinges from overdoing it on the rowing machine?

What about the daily facials? Any trained beauticians in here... though how hard can it be to slap some face cream on a muskeboy face and proceed to massage it in?

We need to be inventive and, dare I say it, sneaky!

Oh... found these the other day for Team Tom.

Oh Comtesse...what a crappy day you had yesterday...although I think we all did
I went to bed early as ds2 didn't stay at pils...sigh.
So that's our ikea trip off this morning.
He has a b day party at 12 too...FMS
Still feel ropey...no idea what's wrong with me. Virus I think. Wish it would bugger off. I have a job interview on Friday! Need to get my barnet sorted...I look a bit alarming ATM.
Welcome muffin! :)
Oh, and I realised yesterday that my passport needs renewing. Ffs. Mind you at least I get a new photo. In my current one I look like I am on day release from a secure unit :(

Morning Baddz

Morning Carolina.
How are you today?

TM rage would be more apt!

I'm not too bad today. I have an electrician due this afternoon to fix a dodgy light switch so am going to get off soon to get housework sorted and all done before he arrives. Other than that my weekend is my own.

I was thinking. If TM is going to be bumped for Comic Relief perhaps we could petition the BBC and demand that if that is the case we are OK as long as they get the boys - in full costume of course - on for the entire show. That would make it up to us for not actually having an episode to watch that night.

It is funny though that we didn't mind sitting through and watching an entire football match when Santi was involved but we hate the soddiing game when he isn't!

Morning everyone. I've skimmed the thread but can't remember much.

So TM is postponed on 5 occasions??? They are setting it up to fail. This is the worst TV slot of the week at this time of the year. They're just using it as filler between other stuff now aren't they? If they announce S3 I don't care because it prolongs the series, but if S3 depends on audience numbers we don't stand a chance. And yes I know all about the overseas sales, but if the figures are poor in this country no-one's going to buy it. I wish we knew what was going on in their minds.

Loving the Prague wench ops.

WW I watched Shetland, very atmospheric, and I love Douglas Henshall.

Hi muffin, very interesting re the horses, I know nothing about this, but they always look beautiful, as do their riders.

Have a good day all!

Morning wenchi!

I'm on the swimming/rugby treadmill this morning. Yawn! At least I don't have to do anything myself I suppose .

Badders I'm all excited for you ref interview. You'll be fine. But yy to hair if it makes you feel more confident. Good excuse in any case and you deserve some me time.

Carolina yes we are only interested in footie if Santi is involved.

I'm really pissed off with the Beeb. This is why the Friday night slot is so shiiiiiit. Grrrrr. Still angry.

Alibabs another Cardiff one? Love it. Didn't know that before.

Oh. FFS. Have just worked out I'm going to have to wait 3 weeks for the Athos episode 5.

We'd better have an S3 green light in compensation.

Thanks Comtesse x
WW...loved Shetland! DH is a bit of a hotty.

Morning Apricot! Have you seen that info that JP tweeted? According to Broadcast magazine listings TM was 4th most popular drama of 2014. Was 17th overall but the listings include things like World Cup football, Sherlock and Downton etc. Here's the link for interest ...

twitter.com/popejessica/status/558744628611268608

This makes me feel v hopeful. Esp as it's above Dr Who! When you think how much money they must spend on that ....

"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
:)

They've just announced they're not renewing Atlantis. So hopefully TM will make the cut ...

sad about Luca leaving twitter. Boo. Now we've only got Instagram for him and Howie which I can't work. Grrrr.

This sort of thing is why Tom doesn't do social media. You're right Tom. Stay well clear.

Morning wenches.

What's happened with Luca and Twitter? Has there been nastiness?

Also, Atlantis is a bit rubbish to be honest although we still watch it and Musketeers very much isn't.

So, six days to go!

I too can't believe we have 5 missing episodes. It feels like we've been 'had'!

What is going on with Twitter and Luca please?

Luke's twitter account is being hacked even after he changed password so he is taking some time off from twitter.

I did see that Comtess and was quite pleasantly surprised when you think of all the dramas in a year. I wondered what criteria they were using. Did it include iPlayer figures etc?

Of course that was 2014 and the ratings this year are dire compared to last year. Ah well, we'll just have to wait and see.

I am assuming that all these weeks off is why the DVD release for S2 has been put back. At this rate we'll get the DVD in time for Christmas!

I am v confused about Luca & Twitter. Cos his account is still there but the bi-line thingy says 'Sorry Luke' so how do we know it's not the hackers who have said 'I'm leaving Twitter'????

Got to run! Waaaayyyy too much to do - I have ma wenches coming

Wenches ... Morning.

fancy the Prague trip is actually happening if series 3 is announced. You are now on the list.

carolina good thinking. We will need a combination of stealth and batshit tank attack I think.

Right, need to tidy and get everything ready. Will be coming to you live from SparkleVille later.

RBNR much as ever.... snogs all round. Lord but you did all witter on last night.

Hanna how very dare you - I wasn't snoring, that was Athos - duh! I'd tired him out a bit
Comtess sorry to hear about crap night marooned at work
Badders excellent news re. for job interview. I have to do a hot wash of some towels today
Muffin hello
LetUs just cos
Elk I hope babyelk settled for you
Cinn excellent news re job -did I already say that?
Norah where are yoooooooooooouuuuuuuu? also Floppers, Foxy, ermmm who else hadn't posted recently Stinkle, Alibabs?

Waves inanely to other wenches (Chaise, Carolina, Madame, Apricot, Fancy, WW, Drink etc and anyone-else-who-knows-me )

Need to go and have breakfast now - have had weekly lie-in and am now sneakily logged on upstairs before going down so DH doesn't realise I'm MNing. Another day of domestic family stuff beckons...

PS - BBC have obviously realised that TM has dedicated audience who will obsessively loyally watch TM whenever they decide to show it, so it doesn't matter if they muck up the schedules. But YY - we so need a Comic Relief sketch in full uniform. We could even have sent them scripts (Training Dog).
