Action, drama, and some great character moments come in the latest episode of scheduling-football, The Musketeers series 3...
This review contains spoilers.
3.3 Brother In Arms
Let’s start with a complaint. Three episodes into this final series of The Musketeers and this is the third completely new time slot. Even with interference from football and news events, that feels disrespectful to fans and not indicative of a show wanting to go out on a high but rather something being hurried off the BBC's schedules. It’s a shame because Brother In Arms in a step up from last week’s The Hunger and demonstrates that The Musketeers deserves to be shown a little more respect.
Simon Allen takes over writing duties from Simon Ashford as this week we see The Musketeers come to grips with Louis’ brother Gaston, grapple with their consciences and do some basic derring-do. However,...

The Musketeers returns for its third and final series on Saturday the 28th of May with a confident, entertaining opener...
If you're reading this than maybe you, like me, felt a Musketeer-shaped hole in the Beeb’s New Year line-up. Fortunately, there was no need to fear cancellation as it was always going to be a question of ‘when’, not ‘if’ as filming of the forthcoming season had been no secret. The question was, despite the wait, was this season going to be better than the last (which was pretty decent by anyone’s standards) and how were the showrunners going to keep things fresh?
Based on episode one of the new run, I can say with some confidence that the show seems to have grown in all the right ways.
It opens big and picks up from where the last season finished (albeit four years later...

This week's penultimate series two episode sets the stage for a memorable Musketeers finale...
This review contains spoilers.
2.9 The Accused
Written by The Return's Simon J Ashford and directed by Nicholas Renton (who also directs next week's finale), The Accused continues straight on from the end of The Prodigal Father and fortunately loses little of the pace and impact.
Yes, The Accused had much to live up to, as it was clear the Musketeers’ world was about to be turned upside down as Rochefort’s plan finally kicked into high gear. Not only that, but as the penultimate episode of the season, its job was clear – bring everything together to deliver a finale fitting of the highs that the show has routinely hit. I’m pleased to say that the scene is set for a memorable series end.
Stepping into such esteemed shoes as Capaldi’s was always going to be a big ask,...
