God help us we’re watching this - it hasn’t aged well, and the youthful Peter Capaldi makes my head hurt by being a young speccy kid archaeologist far from Indiana Jones… Of course there’s Amanda Donohoe to look forward to… Unfortunately Hugh Grant is also in it, being crap as usual.

Not Ken Russell's best movie. (That'd be The Devils)

The Musketeers was great. I didn't know how it'd be based on the ads and Radio Times articles - looked like a couple of male models and a couple of guys who looked like the belonged more in a sitcom, so I didn't expect much acting - but it turned out great. Nice grimy historical fun, good performances all round (Capaldi and Hugo Speer stealing it), great fights, good music score... I'd put it on a par with Ripper Street for Sunday night viewing, so let's hope it doesn't suffer the same fate.
