Season 3 changes the Musketeers’ allegiance to the crown, turns their personal lives upside down and compromises their loyalty to those they love, as well as their loyalty to each other.

“Alan Bleasdale’s G.B.H. Felt so urgent and important to me as a 16-year-old and still resonates.”

 

TV show to cheer you up:

Band of Brothers – it’s reassuring, thrilling and moving.”

 

TV show to watch before going to sleep:

The Sopranos – any episode really. I can find something to love in all of them!”

 

“Guilty pleasure” TV show:

Loose Women.”

 

TV show that you find most addictive:

Peaky Blinders.”

 

TV show to watch hungover:

Only Fools and Horses – like stepping into television Narnia.”

 

Axed TV show that you most wish would return:

Our Zoo – I think it should have been on a Sunday evening at 8pm where it would have found a HUGE audience.”
