The Musketeers - Episode 1.06 - The Exiles - Preview & Teasers

Now that the main four have each had a centric each we get a what is essentially an ensemble piece this week, although I feel that a few of the cast in particularly do shine a little brighter than the rest. One, Aramis, may well be partly down to my personal attachment to the character, but his loner tendencies are at play here too as he feels responsible for recently widowed Agnes (Amy Nuttall; Emmerdale, Downton Abbey) and believes that his word is his bond as he attempts to fulfil a promise he has made to her to rescue her child against an order from on high.

Another is Louis, Ryan Gage is simply wonderful this week as the King is thrown into turmoil at his mother’s unexpected arrival at court begging forgiveness and pleading that her life is in peril. The treacherous Marie de Medici (Tara Fitzgerald; Game of Thrones, Waking the Dead) had previously been banished on pain of death due to a failed coup against the crown years before, and her reappearance has a strange effect on her son as he struggles with a range of conflicting emotions before reverting almost to a childlike state, including an amusing temper tantrum or two.

Constance also takes a turn in the spotlight this week as the only person in the gang able to go undercover, albeit a tad reluctantly at first, and scout out the lay of the land where Agnes’ kidnapped son is being held. It’s more the role she is asked to play rather than the risk involved that has her concerned, as we saw in the trailer she has no problem when push comes to shove in defending the baby with a bit of deft swordplay at all, but she pulls it off with aplomb.





The Exiles airs at 9pm on Sunday 2nd Marchon BBC 1 and BBC 1 HD, below are a few dialogue teasers to see you through until then. Don't forget to come back to vote in our poll after the episode and let us know what you thought.


“I promise you, on my honour, the safe return of your child”

“I’d go with you myself but I’m busy, damned paperwork; it will take me the rest of the afternoon, at least”

“All you desire is the restoration of your son’s affection so you can ease into gentle old age a happy woman”

“I was trying to be your mother and your father, I failed at both and paid for it”

“Get away from us, the devil and his consort don’t belong among decent people”

“I would ask you to come with us but you already have a family”

“The king’s mother comes to you in peril and you treat her like a common criminal, so much for chivalrous reputation of the Musketeers, I’m disappointed”

“She’s made many enemies over the years, perhaps it’s revenge, some long standing grudge”

“Follow them as closely as you can, my guess is they’re headed to Paris, I’ll try to find out what is going on”

“You forget I was there when you tried to seize power your majesty, with respect, don’t expect sympathy from me”
