The Three Musketeers

A BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Alexandre Dumas’s swashbuckling epic, starring Jamie Glover, Robert Glenister and Timothy Spall. ‘All for one and one for all’ ... 17th Century France. Dashing young swordsman D’Artagnan heads for Paris, dreaming of serving the King as a member of his elite guard. On arrival, he meets the three musketeers – Athos, Porthos and Aramis – and the four men soon become fast friends. Together, they strive to outwit the murderous schemes of power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu, and save the Queen from a plot to dishonour her. Their adventures take them on a perilous journey through the French countryside and across the Channel to England... Now a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen, Luke Evans and Ray Stevenson, The Three Musketeers is a thrilling action-adventure full of duelling, danger, courage and camaraderie. This BBC Radio 4 version was dramatised by James Saunders.

Fast paced and fun

The voices were good; it was a bit frustrating that some of my favourite scenes were cut, though.

Great Voices & Acting

The sound and production was well done. I only wished it was longer, 12 chapters instead of the six chapters

Great dramatization but seriously abridged version

This condensed presentation is a great way to introduce new readers to Dumas and The Three Musketeers.

Three Musketeers

A good story that was well performed by all. My only frustration being the words were often difficult to discern and I therefore missed pieces that may have been important.
