BBC MUSKETEERS; Swagger on Inn it's thread 85! Who's your daddy Porthos? Will Roquefort survive?

[FolknNorah]

Yes! We are still here, for episode, er, 7? 8? so feast your eyes on the hot, leather wearing beardy fuckersz!
Everyone welcome, so don't to be shy, come on in.

Popping in for a mid-morning elevenses and catch-up with the thread, while trying to ignore the racket outside the office.

badders, Apricot commiserations on the lurgy, hope you both feel better soon.

I also love having my hair done but haven't been able to justify the expense since the summer when I dropped by 3 week old new I-phone down the loo at WorldCon.

Lyndie I didn't find the spoiler pics I inadvertently saw too spoilery for eps 9 & 10 apart from one (which was a reasonable dead cert anyway), given that I have no idea where they come in the story and exactly what's happening in them. However I have seen one for this Friday, plus Sandi's advance preview on spoilertv, which has left me oscillating between hope and despair for milathos.

Coffee time.

Morning (just?). Been a busy bee today, lots done. DC will of course undo it all in about 5 mins once home

It's snowing again FFS. Not impressed. Had to shovel it off drive to get car out this morning

I missed all the spoiler pics, I quite like a bit of picture titillation that gets you thinking Oooo I wonder what that shows but out and out spoilers is wrong. And for all JessP's comments the BBC shouldn't make them available (even date embargoed) if they don't want them out there. I am a bit at a couple of fenches who have commented on what they have seen.

But to be fair (not that student has gone and I can complete my post), I am always oscillating between hope and despair for milathos, so no change there.

How does it work then though? BBC releases the photos for the press to use, with an embargo date but they get leaked? If it's just a pic of a Musketeer on their own in a room I don't see the problem but the episode 2 ones were rather spoilery.

Escaped the hairdresser. Will be bouncy locked for, ooh about 5 minutes I reckon!

Thanks wenches, I'm feeling a bit better now. I think you always feel worse first thing in the morning.

JessP said that the spoiler pics were stolen. They're still up on that photo hosting site, but the two VERY spoilery ones have gone. I notice that Gorgeous Aramis's Twitter has gone too.

The one I saw gives a pretty big spoiler about the connie/dog story arc.
It annoyed me.
I don't have an issue with people who want to see spoilers....but there are sites specifically for that.

FFS the Beeb have just confirmed that ep 9 won't screen until 20/3, i.e. there's a break for Red Nose Day.

Found this out when I was having a rare lunch with Spouse and we then had a fannish conversation about TM. He's been rather enjoying it and his favourite is "the one where they did the seven samurai". That'll be The Homecoming then.

Well, yes, and Ep 10 is confirmed for 27th March.

The big worry is that the US will get Ep 9 on the 14th. The Beeb screws us over again! Sandi from SpoilerTV says they're looking into it ......

This never, ever happens with US programmes. No-one gets to see them before they do.

Afternoon everyone, no snow here but we have just had a massive hailstorm & I had to rush out & rescue the washing. The sun's out again now, but I can't be bothered to hang it out again.

Glad you're feeling a little better now apricot. How're you badders?

I'm cross enough already about the break delaying things for TM as I'm away on 27 March, but if the US get ahead of us I shall be livid.

So does your DH have a favourite musketeer issy? . Who's his favourite female character?

This series has been a mess right from the start, I feel so sorry for the cast & crew. And us. And the way things are going, we'll be lucky to get S3 at any time other than 3 pm every third Monday afternoon

Who knows if the pics are stolen or leaked by someone on the inside? Either way, they shouldn't really release any sort of spoiler cos even if people don't post the pics, or warn that there are spoilers inside etc, people will still discuss them - as is still happening on Twitter. So those who manage to avoid the pics can still have the show spoilt.

And the one I saw (same as Badz) def was a massive spoiler - unless it's a complete double-cross & isn't showing what it clearly IS showing, after all

As for the US getting it - I'm off to tweet BBC America & Jess P.

Afternoon lovely wenches, BTW.

Did I see that the ratings are down again? Apersz?

It's been odd for sure.
They are certainly making the series for bbc worldwide now....us uk fans just aren't important :(

Apricot did say that, yes Fancy.

Jesus, I wish they'd just get out to Prague & start on 3. Am getting nervous now.

Just to check, is it on this Friday (6th)?

Of all programmes why is this the one that keeps skipping weeks? For the love of good why?

For the record, I watched this with mil the other day (not my choice) who declared herself team dog.

All dh's family seem to.share the view he is the best looking.

Dh was offended when I said he looked like athos (he acts like him too!). Ok I have declared myself team aramis on here but dh doesn't know that and I would definitely accept athos as reserve!

Ps am dying with cough so may not be making much sense.

I dreamed about posting on Mn last night

sparks Did you mean me? I hope so, I've just twatted. (is it ok? Did it work?)

Lol at guidelines MIL. She likes then young, then?

Evidently!

According to their schedule, ep 9 will be shown on Saturday the 14th.

Which no doubt means that they get the finale on the 21st.

Australia were only one day after us but they have had breaks so they haven't got ahead of us.

Afternoon wenches

I'm feeling a little bit under the weather, freezing and have an irritating dry cough. The blob is due this weekend so some of it might be because of that, I hope the cough doesn't get any worse though!

Letus I hate things like that too. I have to get my car serviced and I bet they will find tons of other things I need to get done as well

Poor Wifey and Apes

More your husband look like Athos????

Sorry Norah, have scrolled back & I did mean you.

Thanks WW.

Sandi has just had it confirmed that US get the last 2 eps before us. I cannot tell you how fucking angry I am.

Apricot.
Well.
I am fucking livid
So nice of the bbc to reward us loyal fans, eh?
What a joke.

...and yes, I have cancelled my pre order of series 2 DVD.
Petty?
Yes.
And I know the bbc won't suffer for the lack of my £20 but it's the principle.
