After the reinvention of Robin Hood, Merlin, the Greek myths and Sherlock Holmes, now comes The Musketeers, the BBC’s new weekend show for all the family. Over the years, there have been numerous film adaptations of Dumas’ novel, but a relative scarcity of TV series. And the two most notable TV series were animated versions, Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds and Albert the Fifth Musketeer.

After the reinvention of Robin Hood, Merlin, the Greek myths and Sherlock Holmes, now comes The Musketeers, the BBC’s new weekend show for all the family. Over the years, there have been numerous film adaptations of Dumas’ novel, but a relative scarcity of TV series. And the two most notable TV series were animated versions, Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds and Albert the Fifth Musketeer. by Jade Lindley The British Comedy industry is definitely going to be mourning the loss of the wonderfully talented Roger Lloyd-Pack, who passed away due to pancreatic cancer age 69. By Gemma Williams The Originals is back after its Christmas break and starts off the year with a strong episode, quite literally! The episode runs with the central theme of female empowerment and pushes the story along rapidly. It looks like the rest of the season is going to be an edge-of-your-seat ordeal so you had best make sure you’re ready for this turn of events. By Robbie Jones Now that Breaking Bad is done and dusted, Game of Thrones has happily accepted its place as the best show on television right now. Fans rejoiced last night as the trailer for Season 4 was released, and boy is it a doozy! By Helen Langdon At last count, the Stargate franchise consisted of one theatrical film, two TV films, and three TV series consisting of 17 seasons. And although it all started with Roland Emmerich’s film in 1994, it was Stargate SG:1 that earned its place among the most important science fiction shows of a generation. By Gemma Williams Blonde haired, blue eyed beauty Caroline Forbes (Candace Accola) has been a fan favourite since season two of The Vampire Diaries, because let’s face it, she was a royal pain in the keister. After Katherine (Nina Dobrev) killed her, she became awesome, like most everything Kat touches. She has always been popular with the male species, more so since deciding to transition. Caroline is the fans’ baby and we all want the best for her. by Cookie N Screen This article contains spoilers Roughly about a week ago, the whole country was in a bit of deflation. Quite wrongly. The wedding of John and Mary Watson had happened and people were bouncing some words around; “fluff,” “too soppy” and “where is the drama?” Yes, The Sign Of Three was a lovely affair that focused on the character development, the relationships between brothers, friends and lovers and had bouts of comedy that some (not all,) were left feeling a little bit cheated. Yet tonight, in the action packed series finale, His Last Vow, Mark Gatiss, Stephan Moffat and a team of highly talented people prove that Sherlock is in a class of his own. By Hayley Charlesworth Teen Wolf is back, and with one of its best episodes yet. Recovering from a patchy Season 3A, Anchors sees Scott, Stiles and Allison deal with the fall-out from last year’s actions in an episode that is as spooky as it is entertaining. By Gemma Williams So, the People’s Choice Awards 2014 has been and gone and what a spectacular event it was. There were some brilliant celebrities there but sadly, not everyone who deserved an award received one. Instead of going through the entire list of winners, I will mention only those who are in shows that this writer (points to herself - Ed.) covers on a weekly basis: The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. By Leah Stone Last year was a great year for TV. We saw the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, the introduction of some great shows, like Hannibal and Broadchurch, and the end of others, such as Dexter. Now, we can look towards an equally awesome year for TV in 2014. So I decided I would take a look at the pencilled plans for 2014 and give you my top 5 shows to watch. |
