Our Girl Thread 60 "Our Girl, Soldier Soldier and The Musketeers Revisited"

[Ilovelblue]

We started to follow "Our Girl" back in 2014 and although there will be no further series, we do revisit from time to time. We are about to finish the final series of "Soldier Soldier" and will be starting on the first series of "The Musketeers". Of course, there is a definite connection between "Our Girl" and "The Musketeers" in the delightful form of Luke Pasqualino.

Meanwhile elsewhere in France - looks like he's had a rough night. That's the way to cure a hangover...

I didn’t get the joke about this sequence till Episode 9

So, it's Paris 1630 - now we have our bearings.

If they do all their own stunt work, I guess they must have to be pretty fit, in all senses of the word.

So, we are being introduced to each of the motley crew. Some prefer a little more luxury than punch ups and cheating at cards.

Whoops...run for it!

Good question where is Aramis. Oh there is

It's Dr Who!

I suspect that he doesn't believe her. Here come the cavlary .

I remember seeing a background clip about 4 weeks boot camp before starting filming - should be on the DVD.

I see D'Artagnan has the same sort of one liners as Elvis had!

Here comes D'Art. Nice hotel - very clean - use of the communal towel - definitely pre-covid.

Live the lines of mine hostess.

Yes eejit I think there are some behind the scenes bits on the DVD.

It's the King and Queen. Methinks the Cardinal is a baddie!

Love, not live

The King sounds pretty cynical.

I am not keen on this guy who plays the King.

Don't mess with D'Art - he's a trained killer....

Elvis and mine hostess could be a double act!

Struth, I called him Elvis. Oops, didn't mean to!

There is one rather tenuous link with OG in that BA played King Antoine of Navarre in Reign and this King Louis XIII would have been his grandson

The cardinal sneaks up on his ladyfriend while she is longingly admiring her lover's, big shiny...musket.

He will be a trained killer.

Aren't cardinals supposed to be celibate?

Very forward young lady
