The Musketeers

BBC One

In this retelling of the classic Dumas story, law and order is more of an idea than reality in 17th century Paris. Athos, Porthos and Aramis - the best musketeers in the King's regiment - are sent on a mission to find a missing musketeer carrying important letters on King Louis' behalf. But their task is made more difficult by Cardinal Richelieu, who is on a mission of his own to sabotage the musketeers' good reputation in an effort to increase his political power. As fellow musketeer d'Artagnan - who is from a different company than the other three - travels from his family's farm to Paris, his plans are forced to change when a loved one is killed and he must find Athos, Porthos and Aramis to find the killer and seek vengeance for the crime.
