According to series creator Adrian Hodges: "This new version is not an adaptation of the book, but rather a series of new adventures sometimes inspired by the novel, sometimes by the events of the period, and sometimes by more contemporary issues given a historical spin."
Expect social media to alight with enthusiastic/hormonal appraisals on the four main dudes. There's Aramis, played by Santiago Cabrera
...Porthos (Howard Charles)
...Athos (Tom Burke)
...and, of course, D'artagnan (Luke Pasqualino). Or as he'll be known from here on out: "[Dreamy Sigh]".
Yes, that is Freddie from Skins, all grown up. Well, he's 23.
It promises plenty of swash for your buckle. Or buckle for your swash. Whatever. ACTION STUFF!

That makes you happy now, doesn't it?
So...
The Musketeers, BBC1, Sunday January 19, 9pm.
